Re: Flat vine vs. round vines?
Doug,
Is your 1020 Papez a heavy duty plant also (ie: In comparison to what you
have grown in the past or presently growing)?
I am going to have to make sure that I give this plant and my others plenty
of lift to accomodate the pumpkin as it is growing.
Keep me posted on your 1020 Papez if you don't mind.
Good luck,
David
Massachusetts
