Plants have now started shifting gears to fruit growth as the vines have slowed down a bit. It usually takes about 10 days for vine growth in our patch to start to get back to "normal" after fruit load stress has started. Like years past we are turning 3 vines on each side before the pumpkin and letting them run to the end of the patch. Every other side off of the main is also kept. In and around the first week of August the entire 1,000 sq ft for each plant will be filled with only the main left to run. I think its important to always keep some fresh vines growing as it signals the plant to keep producing hormones for growth. Photo of 1790
