This is the stump of BiggySmall. It seems to have a lot of tension, and was cracking a little. I powdered it heavily with talcum. I think I'll terminate the vine in the morning, about 2 feet beyond the pumpkin, so that it will have a bit more "give." The vine grows from the left side of this picture to the right. I'll be terminating the vine to the right of the pumpkin in this picture.

I hate to do it, because I don't want to reduce the feeding abilities of the vine, but it probably isn't getting anything from beyond, anyway. It's growing so well, I hate to disturb it in any way. Will decide in the morning.
