It’s my first year with no heat cables, hoop houses, or watering system. I’m weeks behind with my AG’s just getting to pollination, which is fine, it’s a learning year.

However, I started two field pumpkins the same time as my AG’s. My biggest is a Treece which is over 16 feet and a beautiful plant. There’s a chance I could get a pretty nice FP this year.

I have 3 females within a span of 4 leafs. They’re at roughly 13, 14, and 15 feet. The stem is attached at completely different spots for all three. I took this picture from the plant tip.

The first, farthest out from stump, comes right out of the side
The second comes out of the bottom and curves up
The third comes out the top and sticks straight up

If all things are equal would you keep the one attached to the side of the vine? In this case it’s also the farthest out.
