A few days ago I buried the secondary and tertiary vines of my Giant.
Now am I supposed to bury the end of the primary vine? I never
pinched and buried, I just buried the others. That was the first night
the pumpkin had no growth- I measure daily, not weekly. What I did to
the primary vine was removed all the female blossoms. There were quite
a few. The vine grew another foot and added a new female with fruit. I
culled that fruit and once again, the primary vine grew another foot
and added yet a new female. I do not want all this energy to be
diverted this way. Should I bury the primary vine as well? It is
currently 23 ft long and the fruit is 8 ft from the base/ mound.
Please advise
