    Leaning pumkin - Support or let loose?

    Hi Guys,
    Should I let this pumpkin run free of try propping it upright?

    I've never grown them but from what I have seen, they tend to be grown on the ground due to the size & weight of them.

      Unless you are growing rather small squashes (ie the fruits being small rather than the plants) I think that you are always better letting them sprall as the fruits get so heavy. You CAN support the individual fruits but it's not always easy and you need to keep on top of it as they grow so fast.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
