But there is also a potentially serious problem developing on Greta on the 505 McCracken. When moving her slightly last night I thought I heard a faint cracking sound, so I looked at her stem and found a mighty crack extending to the shoulders of the pumpkin. I guess I made it a little worse but it was clearly already pretty big. I don't know how deep it goes yet and I guess I will suspend watering for several days to see if it will stop or what. There's still like 79 days to the weigh-off and it's going to be tough keeping her going that long with such a big split. I need to get it to heal and keep it from going all the way through to the cavity, otherwise it will be curtains for Greta!
