As my pumpkin gets bigger its leaning toward the stem and putting pressure on it. A week or so ago the vine was straight (top pic) today its bowing down (middle pic)there is no pressure at all on the leaf nodes before and after the stem, just on the stem. I left the blue foam just to support the vine and keep it from hanging free. The bottom pic shows the shape of the pumpkin and how its leaning toward the stem. Is there something I can do to ease some of the pressure off the stem? Should I remove the foam and let the vine go back down to the ground?
