What if you trained both 1st side vines horizontally to the main and grafted them to the main 1' before your keeper female. This is what occurred in last night's edition of 'bizarre pumpkin dreams'. In that edition the sides grew out to 18', then along the outside of the patch parallel to the main, and then back in 15' down the line meeting up with the main again and being successfully grafted back on. Voila, 3 main vines.

You seem to be going where no man has gone before. Let us know how it turns out for you.

Even if I was good at grafting, I don't think I'd have the guts to cut into the main vine behind the pumpkin.

Why not threee.......

I have wondered this also could you say plant your main plant at the beginning of season let it run its course, then plant another plant a month later when the main plant starts to fizzle out could you graft the new plant to the old main and keep the fruit growing longer? or will a fruit eventually just stop when its done? lol one of the dreams I had lol

Now, who is going to figure out how to make an AG, produce a megabloom, or fused blossom, like tomato's do? Just think, if a normal 1K# pkn had a megabloom like a tomato w/6 fused flowers? 6K# pkn? Also might need to get some of that fertilizer from Gernoble? LOL Peace, Wayne
