Hey, pssst...want to see something funny? How about a split into the cavity on a pumpkin that only weighs 76lbs! Seriously...this is not something I ever expected to confront on such a small specimen. Honestly, I'm really bummed about this. Took out some of the plant's thickest taproots to relieve stem stress a few days ago; wonder why it grew such a goofy dill ring. Definitely should have taken some advice and given the whole patch to the 1478 - learned that tough love early can pay huge dividends at the end of the season. I'm probably going to let it sit on the vine until it goes down. I'll be going on vacation for a week on the 25th, so maybe I'll come back to an excitingly stinky pile of pumpkin soup.
