mechanics of pollination

I understand HOW to pollinate the female flowers, and appreciated all the tips
for covering the blossoms.  BUT, would someone please explain to this complete
novice about how to provide enough growing room so that the pumpkin doesn't
break itself off the vine?  I hope I worded that so that it can be
understood.  THanks. 

by the way, seven of my original nine pumpkins are going to make it, despite
rain and hail and high winds, and I planted two more seeds which will give me
an opportunity to use the information I keep gaining everyday from what's
happening to the other seven!  Maybe I can actually work these two into some
sort of "shape."  The other seven are scattered and broken  and the parts are
all growing nicely.

cheers,
duchess of gladstone
