Re: vine turning yellow and watering questions.

Brian,

If your leaves are turning yellow, it usually means you aren't giving them
enough notrogen.  Try some blood meal along with your regular fertilzer.
And really pour the fertilizer to them; pumpkins take lots of water and that
leaches out the fertilizer, plus, they are heavy feeders.  Hope this helps.
