Burying the vines

I buried the vines of the pumpkin plants today to help protect the plants from the wind.  I staked the vines using bamboo skewers I found at Wal-Mart.  I also sprayed a calcium solution on the plants (CalCarb), as well as Actinovate.  The plants are coming along nicely.  Both have male flowers that are close to blooming.
