I think what is more apt to happen if one does not get a FULL 90 degree
angle of the pumpkin stem to the vine, and hopefully on the outside of
the curve, is that the shoulder will begin to press against the main
vine threatening to break off the pumpkin's stem if you don't do
something. The only thing I know to do at that point is to cut the
pumpkin away from the main vine on the far side between the shoulder and
the stem. If the stress is on the inside there is nothing I know of that
you can do. Pumkinguy?
