Could I tell if a vine is going flat on the "second" true leaf? Actually,
what should be that second one looks like a wide flat stem which then splits
out into three leaves of equal size. I believe the next one coming after
those looks like a single.
This is on that plant that came from the badly cracked seed case. Now I'm
wondering if it's just a mutant from the git-go.
Not to worry, I started the third "top tier" seed back on May 1. That one
so far looks the most aggressive of all, so 2 out of three look terrific
(with room to grow just two).
Thanks,
Beth

You usually can't tell until it has vined out about 18": -24". A ribbon vine
plant will grow 2-3 times faster than others but may not show a ribbon for a
couple of feet. If they only grew a Pumpkin that fast.
