Terry,

Sorry to hear of the troubles. Sometimes giant pumpkin plants 
are like that. I have not seen it, however.

Take a look at this:

See the videos on the site. Even if you cannot afford this 
product, (or your sensibilites dictate some other solution,
what? I don't know, but whatever...) it's quite entertaining.

It's a pure Idaho product...

Regards, Cliff in Idaho
