So an update, Mrs Materdoc's pumpkin is 11 DAP & has a circumference of 29 inches . Oh, it's a 1399 Christensen.
The second fruit on the main vine of my 1738 Barron was getting it's butt kicked by 2 fruits on secondaries.
So last night I made a decision.
I cut the fruit off the main vine, terminated it & buried the tip.
We cut back multiple secondaries so we could physically pick up & swing the secondaries with the fruits toward the center of the patch about 1.5 feet.
Tonight we swung them over another foot.
So we did it as carefully as possible. They both have an S-curve but the stems of the fruits don't come off at a very good angle.
I would like to very gradually try to improve that angle. They are both 9 DAP.
Worked late in the garden tonight, so no pics. Will try to post some tomorrow.
