John & Jeanie,

This is a very confusion issue, particularly if you are new. Primary vines,
secondary vines, tertiary vines, tendrils.... what and where to prune.

I ordered a copy of Pumpkinguys brochure "Growing Giant Pumpkins". It is 28
pages front and back with hand drawn illustrations. The brochure covers
this subject nicely. It also shows you how to snake your vines in
preparation for setting up your pumpkin on the vine. I believe the cost was
$3 dollars and is listed on Duncans page, if not I can dig out the order
info and address for you if it is of interest!
