Re: Secondary vs. Main Vine
Hi Don,
If the pumpkin on the main vine is growing well, is at least
10' to 12' from the stump and has good shape and a clean
pollination, there is not many top growers out there that
wouldn't go with that one. The biggest fruit usually come from
the main vine.
I would cull the fruit on the secondary now or the next few
days. You have maybe a week or two to decide if you want to
keep the one on the secondary main.
Most of the biggest pumpkins are grown alone on the plant...
