We have a pumpkin plant 15' long by 8' wide

At least, that's my best guess. It's flopping over the sides and end of the raised bed, so actual spread is hard to measure.

We've got a few pumpkins on the vine, so I'm tempted to prune off the ends on each runner so they put more effort into the pumpkins. I've also got some powdery mildew going on. Blegh.



I am, however, 6 months pregnant, so there's only so much effort I'm wanting to exert. I just weeded out the space between two of the beds and could go take a nap as a result.

That's awesome! I hope it's fruitful too.

Ours are going nuts as well but don't want to stay in their section of the garden. Morning sickness has kept me out of the garden, so pumpkins and gourds are climbing all over our tomatoes.
