The side view of Bertha. You can barely see it in this photo but at the bottom right edge of the pumpkin is the main vine as it passes the pumpkin. The shoulder of the fruit is pushing on it a bit but I don't think it will become a problem. I have pulled up some roots from the sidevines so that the main vine can be pushed by the pumpkin a little if it needs to. I stopped moving the pumpkin at one point because it was making a crease in the main vine before the pumpkin, and that was potentially a much bigger issue. If any problems do develop with the main being pushed on, I can always just cut it off at the pumpkin. Many growers routinely do this anyway to avoid problems just like the ones I've been having this year!
