hey guys. i have a few AG punmpkins that seems to have set but i have a small problem. I dont know where i should be watering. the vines have grown far out side of the patch and the watering lines are only in the main part of the garden where then vines start. should i move the drip lines to the outer edges of the vines were the pumpkins are??

my dont look good at all at the main tap but starting around 10 feet out they are huge and very healthy looking. the pumkins are about 20 feet from the tap on the pain vines

use a garden hose,,,water everywhere where vines and leaves are. All vines make taproots, so water them well, even outside the patch, and during hot days there in florida give them leafs a cold shower to, Just avoid wet leafs in the evening to prevent mildews and other leafs disease. Dont drown them but remember,,ag plants are thirsty.

Moving driplines can be a mess, avoid stepping in to the plants to much.
