Here is a pumpkin on the 1408 Daletas. This plant has crazy thick vines and is now the biggest plant in the patch. You can see a scar at lower left, I can't decide if this is going to present a problem later on. When the pumpkin was very young (and still sticking straight up) a windstorm rubbed a leaf stalk against the fruit. Of course the scar is getting larger as the fruit grows. Is this disaster waiting to happen? The fruit was set on 6/30 at 13.5 feet. I have another fruit set on 7/6 at 16 feet--I am wondering if it would be better to go with that one, assuming it continues to grow okay. Does anyone have experience with fruit slightly damaged when very young?
