Ok, here's a question. I have read that you want to encourage vine
rotting at the leaf stems to get a better pumpkin. If your pumpkin
is set 15 feet or so on your main vine do you need to have the vine
rooting at 20 feet and so on? Do the nurtients actually run backwards
to the pumpkin, or does it just take in more water for the vine? The
reason that I ask this is that it would seem to me that you could
reduce the risk of stem problems if one end was free. Are there
disadvantages to this?
