I guess the deer have taken care of terminating your vines for you. Depending on the length of the vines, many would recommend terminating them anyway, to direct the plant's energy to fruit growth. If it were me I'd bury the ends. Your pumpkins should grow just fine. Unless the deer come back for dessert... :)

Subject: I have a ?
Hello All Pumpkineers,
I havn't asked any ? in quit awhile but I have one now if anyone could help
it sure would be appreciated.
I have 7 Atlantic Giant Pumpkin plants (one passed on) Anyway the deer got
into the garden and ate the tips off all but 2 of them , now they are still
growing and have pumpkins set on them. My question is beings the deer ate
quite abit of the ends of the vines can I just prune some and bury some. so
that the pumpkins that are on there will keep growing.???
Some of the plants the deer ate up the vine about 4feet. but the pumpkins
are stilll growing and new are coming on.
Thank you so much
Sue
