For some reason I have like 5-6 leaves starting to die. There yellow and brown, and kinda look like they've been burnt by the sun? Should I cut them off or leave em be?

Also, I don't understand the pruning process. What vines do I cut? I have 3 pumpkins and I have 2 more about bloom by Wed or Thurs.

Cut off tertiary vines, excessive tendrils and those, extra male flowers. WHY those leaves are crisp concerns me. Pictures?

Yes cut the vines from the secondary not the main vine.
I would prune myself but nature will do what it needs to if you dont

Just posted a picture of a couple of them. I did some pruning last night, and I must say, my pumpkins grew 2 inches for the inch they was barley getting. Helps out a bunch! Thanks fellas.
