<< I know that the pumpkin should be at a 90 degree angle to the vine
but
what do you do if there are leaves coming out at the same spot as the stem
of the pumpkin. It seems that everywhere I have a pumpkin there is a leaf
coming out at a 90 degree angle to the vine and the pumpkin is off to about
a 45 degree angle. Should I just cut off the leaf and start repositioning
the pumpkin and how close would I cut the leaf off to the vine? Would I
treat that cut with a anti-fungal paste? How big should the pumpkin be
before I do this? Or should I just leave well enough alone. Any help and
advice would be great!!

When the pumpkin is first set, you can go in and pinch the side vine with
your finger nail...it is so tiny. Don't try to reposition a small
pumpkin...it will snap off. They are more manageable to slow daily
repositioning when they get like a bowling ball....go slow.....you will hear
people complaining soon about moving one too much and
then.....SNAPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
