Greetings, I am a first time grower of the big ones this year. My seedlings are in the ground and looking good. I have read the information regarding fertilzers but...Do you all recommend a certain brand for each stage of growth? When do you sart mounding the vines? How far from the original plant do you do this? How long of an area of the vine do you cover? I know this increased the root system but...how necessary is it to do this? I am going to try to be a good care taker for my big guys. I really love growing pumpkins and already have a cinderella pumpkin vine with three rapid growing pumpkins on it. The vine provides great shade for my cats too. Thanks for all your help Janet
