The 2531 Stelts has been a problem since I broke the main. I trained a secondary as a new main but it's not sending out secondaries. It put a ton of growth into the first couple secondaries near the crown. I deadheaded them and hopefully I will start getting normal secondary growth. I'm going to let it grow for 2-3 more weeks before I try to set a pumpkin. If it doesn't straighten out then I'll either pull it out or let it go feral and see if I can get a couple porch pumpkins out of it.
It's disappointing because the plant was doing so well until I made the bone head move of messing with the vine on a cool morning.
