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. You can see the styrofoam that I've put under the vine on the left, and between the shoulder and the vine on the right.

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.
