When you need to cut into the vine, take off any fruit at any stage of maturity. The really young ones keep a few days and make a delicious addition to any cooked vege mix. The larger ones will keep longer and will ripen up to a degree. Just use them when you need to.
All is not lost! Even the most immature pumpkin fruit can be eaten.
