Looking at the 866 Biss the vine is out about 5 feet. There's a female flower near the vine tip. Ideally, you really want the fruit to be out there at least 10 feet from the stump.I've been watering with my compost tea about a gallon/day on all four plants. The plants truly need warm days and so far the western washington weather has been Cool & Cloudy. However the last 4 days have all been over 70 so the plants have begun to crawl across the patch. Now if the night would stay warmer we'd be in business.
This blog reflects my thoughts, activities, practices & mistakes on growing Atlantic Giant Pumpkins on an urban plot in Seattle, Washington- and maybe a few other musings along the way.
