Hi Jim,
Nice blog but we have an issue. P2 is a "double vine". Fortunately it has
split. Choose a vine to become your new primary main & cot the others off.
Entry #16 the pumpkin is touching the vine. As giants grow the stem length &
angle become very important. Once DAG's start packing on weight, the fruit's
shoulders will cause it to rip right off the vine. See what you can do to
cull down to a more manageable fruit on P2.
Your yellow vines appear to be a normal genetic variation. No cause for
action.

I am feeding with multi-purpose twice week and I'm using a potassium heavy
mix once a week.
Here is a link to a blog where I have several pictures posted:

Any pumpkin growers in California please drop me a line at jimfire@jps.net
I'm really amazed at the growing differences that I'm reading about on this
list.
