Just got outta the patch. Had alot of catching up to do. its been too hot for me to get in there and "clean house" so to speak. I have vines going every which way. So I went in and cut off the 3 stage growth, dead leaves (which I'm not sure why the died) but their done, and cut off. I have maybe 4-5 pumpkins on 3 of the plants I have. Zeus (my biggest one) is about the size of a volleyball. I hope with all the vines that I cut off, it will do a little better. I know there was alot of energy being sucked up by 3rd stage. I carefully moved the vine that his is growning on to give him and the others pumpkins more room to grow. I put a hand towel under him to keep him safe. Alot of work, but I enjoyed it. Now I have a few good vines out there, and gave the pumpkins more of a chance to go bigger. 1st year at this is a pain learning the ropes. But i'm catching on rather fast. I'll be watering them later on night and hope they get bigger.
