You have a ways to go "punkin". I like to give them a buffer between ground and soil (cardboard or ) so they do not get a rot spot if your soil is moist.
Good to know, thank you! It is out of the bed and trailing over weed mat w a layer of mulch so hopefully that will help. We're having some crazy heat and humidity here so I'm hoping it doesn't derail it and the rest of the garden.
