 Posted: Sun Jul 01, 12 8:58 pm Post subject: Pumpkin pruning advice please |
 
|
The plant in question has one particular tendril which is supporting two established pumpkin futures, however it seems to be putting alot of resources into taking over the polytunnel.
Should I prune it to save the two established pumpkin or allow the next flowers to try their luck?

Perfect got the answer straight away
Main vines should be pruned when it reaches ten to fifteen feet beyond the last fruit you are leaving on the plant.
Many thanks  |

Don't forget to bury the ends when you do.  |
