Some good news and bad news today. Above you can see a shot of the pumpkin on the main after I repositioned it (it is nearing 300 lbs). Boy did I sweat. I was digging in tight quarters underneath the backside. Then I put down a thin layer of dirt (I hope it was enough) and tipped her backwards with all my weight and shoved a piece of foam under the vine. Much better than it was. Seems that a secondary in the back is giving me trouble--the pumpkin may start growing over it (I did not want to rip out the secondary because my plant is fairly small and it was a long healthy secondary). However, and i worry, will the tap roots grow through the pumpkin if the pumpkin grows over the vine??? Does anybody know? It would seem that the roots would seek out nutrience and moisture(??)
