Cutting Vines Off
Could someone tell me if I'm supposed to cut off the vines that are growing
off of the main vines? Because I cut off a whole bunch of vines and left only
3 of the biggest vines that are growing off of the main vine. Or am I
supposed to leave it growing? I don't know what I was thinking when I started
going bezerk and chopping all the smaller side shoots off. I was thinking
that if I cut off all the smaller shoots off, the others would take off. Did
I make a big mistake? And if I did it right how many side vines should I let
to grow? And can I make 1 pumpkin grow on each side vines. So if I left 3
side vines growing off of the main vine then I have 4 vines so can I grow 4
pumpkins from 1 plant? And do I just keep chopping all the small side vines
that start to come long off? So now my vines have no side shoots because I
cut all the small vines off and left only the growing tip growing so it comes
longer should I stop cutting all the even small side shoots off. I'm not
worried about growing the worlds largest pumpkins because in Hawaii there is
no largest pumpkins contest. (I think)
Thank You and Aloha from HAWAII Alan
