You mean 'encourage crop growth', which my Sim always does? I'll give that a try. I still can't use the oversized pumpkin for canning - whether I put it in the refrigerator or in my Sim's inventory, when I hover over the pumpkin canning options, it tells me there is no oversized pumpkin available. The other giant plants can be canned just fine - it's only the pumpkin that doesn't seem to work.
I'm not sure if this is the exact issue that you are experiencing, but there is currently a known bug that only orange pumpkins can be canned:

That's probably the bug - all my pumpkins turn out white or green or something in between. Now, I'm motivated - my Sims are going to grow an orange pumpkin if I have to cover the lot in pumpkin patches. (Bugs aren't annoyances, they're challenges!)
I did get my orange pumpkins, and I was finally able to make pumpkin conserve. I'm extremely pleased about this. (I sold my useless white gourds to the grocery stall. She doesn't care, she'll just pass them on in her 'mystery boxes'. I suspect they're like the fruitcake that just keeps giving.
