I noticed that my competitor from Sayre chose not to use the "back wing" approach as mentioned in Russ Landry's diary which was documented by the McKie Brothers last season. I had to jump on the opportunity that he left me. It seems like a great way to get some extra roots down before the fruit. Since I am behind schedule this year I have been forced to pull out all of the tricks I
can find to try and push the pumpkin to the limits. The photo is the extra vine growth that has been trained off of the first secondary. The stump is about 6 feet to the left of the vine tips.
