Is the second shoot off of the main one (i.e. from a leaf node/junction) or seperate to the main and from the stump?

Finally I have tiny baby pumpkins one on the end of each lead shoot about nine of them, presume to get a giant I leave only one per plants, actually might go for quantity. Rather surprised they are all about four metres from the roots.

I know I am a total Newbie to pumpkin growing and have started with Jack o lanterns as a sort of tutorial year for me :) ...unfortunately only 3 of my 7 seeds germinated, only 2 made it into the gound...and now I am down to the one plant...it has taken over half of my tiny veg plot!!!! After a few false starts at pollination I am currently now the proud grower of a pumpkin 'about' the size of a grapefruit ;D
I shall attempt to start a photo album...or even post a pic here :)

Ok...I managed to start an album ;D ..which means I shan't attempt to post a pic within the thread as that could prove beyond my technical abilities!!! ;)

Hopefully this image from my gallery makes it. My 6 year old niece is visiting so helped me to measure the biggest pumpkin. 19inches around it's girth ;D
What does surprise me is how green it still is, and I think it is about 10 days following (hand) pollination. Just a basic Jack o Lantern variety.

The rate of growth has slowed, it is still 34" girth, and it's beginning to ripen...maybe now some of the family will stop mistaking it for a marrow!!!
