               As the pumpkin grows you can cut the ones that start to get in the way. I leave them alone up until the time when I have to cut them. Especially the ones that are before the pumpkin.

               yep only cut those that apply once you have choosen your fruit.you can always pin them out of the way for a week or so until you pick the main vine pumpkin you like.
