I did a lot of cleaning up of my vines this morning. Pruned away dead vines and leaves, making it a lot easier to see the true shape of the living vines. They really look a lot more defined now, and a little easier to distinguish the individual vines.
I discovered that of my six living plants, only one, the Langevin 1157, is still connected to the main stump. All the others have rooted down and "cloned" themselves into a variety of separate plants. One has five distinct plants, none of them connected to any of the others by any root or stem system. On one, I can't even find the remnant of the main stump!
I've decided that I am going to try to grow all four of the pumpkins, if they stay with me, on the #1, Bhaskaran 838.5. I had thought that the last one, the Langevin 900, would be my best bet, but I must have been mistaken, it has only one small chance attached to it.
I have learned so much in such a short time...next year, as Steve Haberman said...
