RE: Need advice A.S.A.P please

I had a vine get broken by a coyote or something right where a pumpkin was
set the pumpkin is growing fine (around 80 lbs) and a secondary took over at
the same spot to keep the vine going. So from this perspective cut away if
you have to.

To me the AG plant seems to adapt and compensate pretty well.  I think you
know what you want to do and have a better idea of the situation trust your
intuition.  I think that the plant before the pumpkin plays the most role in
growth.  Great luck MB
