My vines seem to be growing 5 or 6" per day, so in 18 days I should have another 8 feet of vine in all directions. We'll see. Once the pumpkins start taking the energy of the plant the vine growth slows down dramatically, and that's about when that change should take place. According to the Pap Wallace timetable, I have ten days to terminate side vines. I've already terminated three side vines on each side (at 13') and in ten days (27th) it will be time to terminate three more. All of the others I will let grow indefinitely and will bend around to head down the patch in the direction of the main vine. That's what I did last year (did it will all vines, actually) and this year's approach will be pretty much what Don Young did last year.
