Sorry about the half pic but his 16 year old sister doesnt know how to take pictures yet,,lol!! This my 13 year old son Brandon with the 1161. Its hard to believe hes wearing a size 14 shoe already and taller then his ole man! Im 5'11 and onl wear a 9 1/2 shoe,,lol!! Something isnt right here I think?,,lmao!
I passed my personal best a couple days ago as far as OTT measurements go on the 1161 Rodonis.
I am really worried about the blossom end on this pumpkin as I can see fine cracks starting. I'm really considering cutting it from the vine if the cracks gets any worse,cause it doesnt look like its ready to stop growing anytime soon. Never thought I would be hoping a pumpkin would stop growing this time of the season,,lol!
Right now its just a couple hair line cracks but its in the worst possible place it can be on a pumpkin.
I have grown pumpkins before where these hair line cracks starting at the blossom end grew them all the way to the end of the season that never was a problem, and I also have grown them to where they became a problem and split.
The thing about this pumpkins blossom end is that its sunk so far down into the pumpkin,and with it pointing straight up in the air like it is that gravity has got to be working against me on this one.
This is one of the toughest calls I ever had to make growing pumpkins,cutting it from the vine,,,, today or tomorrow the decision has to be made.
Should I grow it, or chance blowing it. aghhhhhhhh!!!
