Continuing on with the last post about not pruning as much I hope to increase the leaf canopy to shade out the ground. This could reduce temperature in the canopy and increase the heat tolerance of the plants in the hot Kansas summer. Also this increased shading of the ground would reduce weeds and hopefully reduce the temperature of the water being transported by the vines to hopefully cool the fruit during its development.
