As you can see the second pumpkin was culled, I removed the side vine right at the pumpkin and the one right after the pumpkin. In my opinion these vines must always go as they get in the way when the pumpkin gets bigger. We remove them right away and train other vines to fill the space, creating much needed space and air flow around the pumpkin. The main vine is swung back as far as it will go removing a few of the inside side vines) The area is then raked out to be as level as possible, removing any stones. We will now grow every other side vine off of the main vine until all space is full (1,000 sq ft).
