Re: Is is ok for fruit to grow from the extremities of a vine? newbie UK

As your vine grows out the females that are "at the ends of newly growing  
vines" will be "in the middle of established vines". The vines will continue to  
grow beyond the fruit without any problem. It takes 7-10 days before the 
female  will open from the time it appears. By that time the vine will already 
have  grown 5-8' beyond the pumpkin giving the appearance that the pumpkin is in 
the  middle of the plant.

My  female flowers only grow at the ends of newly growing vines.  They  have
only just started to appear, will more female flowers grow from the  middle
of established vines? I am worried that my only fruits will grow at  the
extremities of the plant and may not get optimal nutriment from the  main
plant because it is so far away!
