As you can see I have this Girl growing on a pallet, this was not a planned thing by any means... Just before leaving for vacation I went out to do the morning walk through and found there to be alot of sand kicked up next to the pumpkin after closer inspection I found a burrow hole under the pumpkin, not knowing if the bottom of the pumpkin had been damaged by this animal I knew I had to lift it and inspect the bottom to prevent a end of the season heartbreak!! I dusted off the tripod, and maneuvered it into the patch (Note: hard as hell to do without damaging leafs and vines!!!) Pulled out the hoist and harness lifted and inspected the bottom (Bottom was in great shape) then sat it back down on the pallet all this was done while still connected to the vine. Does not get much funner then this!!
