Hello, it appears that the secondary vine and and the leaf above it are going to be in the way after this pumpkin starts growing some. I don't see any other way around it but to cut the secondary off.


I thought I would ask for some advice before doing that....

Thank you
Joe

Oh here's a link to my dilemma.

P.s. The picture was taken a few days ago and the petals have since been removed :)

Cut them off is my advice. It won't take much from your plant if you do.

If you don't cut it off, the fruit will grow over the secondary and rip the stem. And the leaf will scratch the pumpkin if you are going for a HD award.
