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.
