This diagram shows the way I grew all 3 plants this year. It was suggested by Ruben Mendi and I think it has helped to keep the plant a little more vigorous. So all 1st few secondaries are terminated 4 ft short of the border. Then #6 secondary is trained to grow backwards to fill the space left. #7 secondary is trained to grow forwards to fil the sides of the patch. In so doing you would have younger fresher leaves and vines close to the pumpkin feeding more directly than very old leaves on the first few secondaries.
