Just be patient!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the vines should be around 10 feet by the end
of the month. Even if they are a bit shorter dont worry. It is more
important to polinate a pumpkin by the 10th of july. That date is the real
indicator of how you are doing. Alot can happen in a month's time. Just hang
in there.
BTW my 815 Checkon's are dong the best out of my 12 plants. All 3 seeds were
used and they have huge fat vines and are just starting to run.
