i have 3 pumpkins on my plant so far and i wish to cut one off tommorow (#1 or #2) and another in 3 day's. picks will be in my diary as soon as there posted. this is the choices, #1. at 9' main vine (mv is side from double vine)4 lober, day 13, 37"x27"x27" it has a bend in the blossum end that i beleive may split when older, as well as scars from sap leaks and no vine curve, but it is the fastest so far. #2 at 10' ended side vine from the stump 4 lober day 9, 24"x15"x13", this one is slightly slower than #1 but has a more uniform shape. #3 is a 5 lober at 15' main. day 7, 14"x10"x8". this one is shaped similar to #1 but it's vine position is perfect. but it's growing a lot slower than all of them so far on comparitive dates.

I say #1 because #2 which I like best is coming out of it's stump ofcourse it'll grow slower.

I like #3, good vive position and it will pick up growth with the others of, atleast one of the others off. 15 ft is a good spot I think. But the decisions always yours:)I would keep two of them on for awhile longer. Jim
