Removed the hay. It was useful in terms of getting the vine up but the bugs in the hay were eating the leaves, roots, stems, everything. I tied the vine up with the suspension-bridge method. It withstood some gusty wind yesterday with no damage. Pollination was on 6/23. I don't know if I will put the hay back, maybe with a sheet between the hay and the pumpkin. And I don't know if I will grow it on the pallet. I'll probably give it a try growing it on the pallet but not directly because water will pool on the pallet maybe if I tilt it 5 degrees or drill holes in it the water will not be an issue. I have some mill fabric. Not sure what to do... This the hard part about growing blossom down!!!
