It is important to allow ample space for vine plants so they will have good air circulation and so sunlight can reach all parts of the plant. It is not a good idea to remove portions of the vines in an attempt to control size. In the future select compact varieties of the vegetables you wish to grow and if none are available, you may have to buy the desired produce at your local farmers market.
