RE: T Tape

Hi,
	I live in the Southeast corner of Ireland and usually grow pumpkins that are good craving ones (like jumpin jacks).  19 years ago I grew what was then the largest pumpkin in Ireland (only 287lbs, small by today's records but not much competition... that has changes as the current record is well over 700lbs).  I am trying for a big one for the first time in 19 years.  I have a Plant going from a good seed.  It is about 3 feet long now and is under plastic, I was wondering if I should be light burying the main vine at this point.  Any other advice on how to proceed at this stage would be greatly appreciated as I am not really familiar with giant pumpkin techniques.  Thanks, John

I think responding to previous email messages is the norm. That's what I've
been doing anyway.
