It was just too good to be true. I had not snapped my main vine on my pumpkin plant out at the farm this year. Well, it would not be the same, so today, it became year three of growing a pumpkin with a snapped main vine.

My beautiful 2 1/2 year old son was watching my oldest and myself prune the plants. Well, he just had to get in there. He started tugging on the main vine of the squash, but I managed to stop him. Well, he then proceeded to run around to the other side of the garden and prune off the end of my 1011 Zaychkowsky. UGH!

The good news is, I already have one set, but it is only at 7 feet. There is another one about 5 inches behind where he pruned the plant which should open later this week. So, I'll just train another secondary to be the main again.

At least he made a beautiful, clean cut. He was very good at that! Plus, he was just too darn cute to get too mad.
