My pumpkin started quite late and I estimate the weight to be around 120-150lbs. Is there any benifit to trimming of the leave stems this late in the game?. I went to a Pumpkin web cam and saw that the fellow had trimmed of all foilage and she was a monster.I figure I have around 2 weeks left to grow...anything to give it an extra push???
Thanks so much!

Hi Eng, Keep as much foilage as possible. This late in the game I would pour on the foilar/chemical "K" along with alot of liquid seaweed to soften the blow. The frost will have us all soon enough...
