Use bamboo stakes to guide the side vines perpendicular to the main vine and pinch the tertiary vines.

Put something under the pumpkin
Once your pumpkin has reached basketball size (or even sooner) it is a good idea to put something under it.
You want to minimize the soil to pumpkin contact to reduce the chance of rotting.
Simple weed-block and sand has worked for me.

Spraying your plants
There are many diseases and insects that can hurt your pumpkin plant.
If you are careful what and when you spray you can get the greatest return with the smallest amount of input.
