Starting to make a bend in the vine. We are less aggressive then some and use bamboo stick to help move the vine. Its ok if this process takes a week or two since we have more then 3 months to harvest time. Trying to do this to fast can make you break your main vine, or even snap of the fruit once it gets bigger. I would rather have a crappy position for a big pumpkin then no pumpkin at all but a perfect s bend! Moving the pumpkin an inch a day once it gets bigger works well to. Obviously you have to do this well before day 20! lol
