This is a photo of the back-up female 17 feet out on the main vine. I expect the flower to open up tomorrow. I'm doing an experiment this year with the vine. I mounded up a bunch of soil/compost/manure as preparation for the stem stress that will occur as the pumpkin grows. I'm hoping by doing this, I won't have to cut the roots as soon into the season since the pumpkin will grow down below the vine before it starts getting bigger and picking the vine up. I expect eventually I will have to cut the roots next to the pumpkin to relieve pressure on the vine, but I'm interested to see if this will help at all.
