Forgive another newbie question....the three pumpkins that I have started (all are under a week old) are all standing up by their stems on the vine. As they grow and increase in size will they lay down on their own?...or should I be trying to manipulate the vine to lay them on their sides before they grow larger?? (All are about lightbulb size at this point) Thanks for your advice.

No apology needed...they tend to lay down by themselves

Ya , unless they have a small crack in the stem somewhere and snap off as they are in the process of making it to the ground ...
