What is the best way to water pumpkin plants? Do you water near the original base or do they grow roots elsewhere?

The best way to water pumpkins is at the roots as overhead watering will encourage mildew development. And, yes they do send down roots from the running stems so if you can trickle water them it will definitely help. Trust this helps.
