I have seen many pumpkins staked, they just need very strong stakes! In
fact, it's better to put the developing fruit in a sort of sling, or net
bag, and support in more than one place. Like a hammock. If you're growing
those championship 400-pound ones, of course, they pretty well have to be
on the ground. But I've also seen pumpkins trained up into a strong cedar
or yew hedge, where the fruit developed on top of the squared-off pruned
top of the hedge! A real head-turner in the fall!
