Just after the pumpkins are set you tend to get very small, if any tertiary vines. They tend to be a real pain because you need to bury the vine as soon as possible. We try to flick them out with a knife. The plan all along has been to get good enough growers without relying on a bullet seed to get a world record. The patch is about to light up with probably 4 pumpkins on world record pace. Our feelings are that the 2356 will go very heavy. The Werner A, Werner B and the Urena will all go just a little heavy. Anyway the only thing to do at the moment is concentrate on the roots,shoots and don’t drop the ball. Yes we have one little runt and a patch quickly filling up with veg but the other 4 are going to look like a fairy tail.
