Hi All,

First year grower from Mississippi here.  I have two giant pumpkin plants.
Longest vine(s) are about 6 feet or so and splits about 3 feet out into two
vines....notice I say split....not a secondary.....the vine simply splits
into two separate vines, as best I can tell of equal size.  Is this normal?
I have what I would call a secondary vine coming off this main vine(s) about
a foot out.

My understanding is I should focus my attention on pumpkins coming from
vines originating from the main vine within 18" of the roots.  So, do I now
have 3 target vines?  A little insight would be appreciated.

Bernell
