I have one fruit off the main doing quite well, gaining good size every day. There is a secondary vine growing RIGHT next to it. The secondary comes out like 1 inch from where the fruit is coming out from the main. Should I cut this secondary??

Yes, I would, but then again, Im learning also. It will eventually get in the way.

Definitely cut it off. The pumpkin will grow right over it and end up splitting the vine or tearing itself right off. I have one like that I am going to cut off today.

It seems typical in alot of plants to have a secondary vine growing right off or near the fruit on the main vine. I'm having the same dilemma, how close to the main vine should I cut the secondary?
