Thanks! It's unseasonably warm here today (~80 F) so hopefully that's a good thing. And I know it's a bit late, I'm only hoping for one small pumpkin per vine (I planned to trim off any others if/when one really started to take). This isn't a project I plan to repeat until I have my own home/garden =). Also I read somewhere about burying the split vine, is that something I should do?

Corrine1 - yours was perfect ;-) I agree that the PO is very inconsistent with pricing. I know WAY more about this pricing then one should :-) (seed whore here) The bubble envies cannot fit through the sorter machines, so hopefully the employees never attempt it. Perhaps most envies thicker then 1/4" fail to fit through, so they are hand stamped (?); and jump to the "large" envie pricing. Bubble envies are at least 1/4" when empty and for sure jump into the large envie pricing. Once the bubble envelope gets to be more then 3/4" thick, they jump into the parcel package pricing. Envies too small (!!) or too large also fall into this category. AND, if the length x width ratio is off, they fall into this category also. I have taken an "off ratio" envie into my PO, after more postage was requested (before the hostage notes started), and been told that the envie is ok - no extra postage needed. It is cheaper to buy/use a say 8x10 bubble envie and cut it into smaller envies, and this is when the ratio can be off. Although I cannot speak for the PO, I've traded enough times to know the issues that can arise - experienced them all! It is VERY inconsistent. I noticed, especially with the Canadian Post envies, that some hand stampers miss the stamps all together. For those in the USA, I will reuse/resend, and not waste/use another stamp. For the Canadian swappers, I'll try to remove the stamps so they can be reused in Canada.
