| Hello all,
My seminole pumpkin/squash plant is doing quite well. I have pinched several 'runners' that started in the leaf axils. At each pumpkin fruit there is a new runner in the leaf axil. Should I remove/prune these runners or let them be. I can post a picture if it will help with understanding. I have been adding 1/2 strength liquid fertilizer to the water each day - too much? The plants (3) are growing in an EarthBox supported by cattle panel trellis. Thanks,
|

| I would let them be. You might well get more fruit that way. I don't have much experience with container gardening. But 1/2 strength at every watering sounds pretty strong to me. How are the plants looking? Personally, I'd cut down to about 1/8 strength. But perhaps someone who does a lot of container gardening will drop in and give some advice based on more experience.
