And finally today, for the local growers who asked, and for other newish growers that might not know, the great Canadian grower Jake van Kooten told me once "when the pumpkin is young, try and keep the stem end and blossom end equidistant to the ground"
While I admit I did need to look up "equidistant" in the thesaurus I figured that it meant "equal distant".
To this day, it is one of the most valuable pieces of information and advice that I use and practice every year. Yes, you have to snip a few tap roots before and after the pumpkin to allow it to lift the vine....worth it in the long run for sure!!
