            | Walking Man | formerly RGG | There are no dumb questions on here Bill. Personally, I like to keep my mains growing straight away from the stump early on. I want my vines to spread out to capture as much sun as possible. Later on, after a melon has set, it no longer seems important to me as the vines have grown large and size control is then the issue.  | 6/10/2012 11:29:21 PM |
