w00t! Free Pumpkin Any fruit or vegetables over your side of the fence is fair game, right?
I say this as a person with a gigantic pumpkin vine that springs forth, unbidden, from the compost heap every year to take over the garden and beyond. That pumpkin is totally yours. If said neighbor really wanted to retain the rights to said pumpkin, neighbor would have, whilst the vine was still small and trainable, directed the vines to grow in a manner that would cause pumpkins to grow on neighbor's own property.
