Giant pumpkin update 5-5-24 (Kick stands and new soil?)

[@TheBoaty813]

First time grower here in north Florida. Any tips on which fruit to pick. Close to the main root. Or further out?

[@touchtonsclc]

Do you think maybe the additional moisture could push that extra growth?

[@thesouthernpumpkingrower60]

I have thought that. But honestly i think it has to do more with soil temp. I am sure the ground cover has heated up the soil.

Wow, 2144's are on fire.

[@thesouthernpumpkingrower60]

They really are.

@@thesouthernpumpkingrower60IO am growing the 2404 Barron and she is beautiful. But I’m a week behind up here in Michigan. Behind the big boys!

I typically don’t remove my kickstand leaves.

What do you do when it’s stopping the plant from laying down?
