I did buy the book and the pumpkin is at a right angle to the vine. Only
problem is that the shoulders are growing way out and I don't have a
extremely large stem. but i will try moving the vine away daily. also what
do you all think about putting a peice of styrofoam between the vine and
shoulders, this way they never touch and the pumpkins growth pushes the vine
away naturally?
