Well when I gave this pumpkin the nick name of a space ship I did not think it was going to get this pronounced. This pumpkin is actually slowly falling on the blossom end! I have actually had to remove the lobes so there would not be one pressure point. The secondaries growing off the main are slowing the fall but when I loosen them I can hear the pumpkin adjust on the material it is resting on. If it keeps this up it is going to end up with the stem growing at the top. Stay tuned to see if “the spaceship” lands.
