@Amanda Perkins yess!! So good!! Xx

@Amanda Perkins I'm currently trying to film alot of "how to grow...." style videos atm. Even if its a bit late in the season...it will be great use next year 😂 My advice with any trellising veg is that you need a strong trellis that won't fall over obviously. In the past I have stretched cyclone wire between to star droppers and let them grow up, but you may find ofcourse that its going to exceed the height and will fall back over itself. Which is fine if your plant isn't too big but if its cranking it may not work as well.....but it will still work. The most effective way I have done it is to use heavy metal mesh wire like what you may use for a arbor. Word of advice, if you curve it over into an arch don't make the distance overly wide. I reckon a pathway size distance is best. I made the mistake of having a very wide arch for some bottle gourdes a few years ago and the whole mesh began to sink 😆 which didn't affect the growth, it was more a pain that I couldnt get under it very well and it was hard to bend back into original shape after harvest! Honestly though, I'm all about improvising with what I have around the place too. Have you still got the clothes line? 😉 That would be an awesome trellis. Furthermore take the time to help it find and curve its way up the trellis that way you can keep it a little tame and more supported. Let to grow on its own it won't grow up the trellis the way you want so guidance along the way is key !! Pantyhose and old tshirts make great slings and you can just tie them onto the mesh and under the pumpkin. Don't be surpised how much the pumpkin can hang on though. For butternuts they may not need it because they aren't that big. I've had massive Kent pumpkins hanging nicely without support. As the plant grows into its trellis it develops and adapts to the hanging conditions superbly. At the moment I have watermelon and spaghetti squash climbing up cyclone wire trellis's with no slings. One more thing about pumpkins, make your soil super nutrient rich as they are hungry plants. Good drainage is also key.
