ok, here is my vine training method for 2013. It has taken a bit of time and I have come up with a couple of strategies that I like, but I like this one the most. I would like to say thank you to Thad starr who has posted his vine traning strategies on his online website. If you look at both of them they look alot simular but I have made a few tweaks like letting the main vine grow back down the side of the patch instead of cutting the main, which I am told has a hormone that keeps the plant growing in its tip. I have also curved the vine at the pumpkin to relieve stem stress.
