Another angle from the other side. The main is terminated just past the stem and with the shoulders in the eruption phase I can anticipate at least another 6 inches of push on the main. I can only hope the stem moves up and adjusts as the main is pushed out and upwards from the pressure that is sure to come. Highest stem I have ever had on a pumpkin, over 2ft off the grownd. No way to alleviate the tension on the stem or main. If you happen to view this pic pap I would appreciate any input, I might sleep better the next 6 weeks.....lol. I hate to think I got out smarted by a pumpkin.
