Pie Times The Radius Squared


Hi again. I'm convinced that if you had a plant that had 4 primary vines on it. One north, south, east ,west. Let's say you are looking down on the plant and the 4 vines form a cross. This plant fill's a 40' diameter circle which is equal to 1256 square feet. If you have one pumpkin on that plant on a primary vine the pumpkin is being grown on only half of that plant from the tap root to the end of the vine that it's on. So we can say that the pumpkin only used 628 square feet of plant. You could easily grow 2 pumpkins on this plant on separate vines that form 180 degrees.
