I really like the shape this pumpkin is taking on as it is getting some great length to it. It is growing on a little bit of a hill that I did not correct for early as I was not sure the pumpkin was even going to make it. Either way, I have been doing my best to move it so it is at a right angle to the vine but the fact that it is long means there is not a lot of area that will be coming in contract with the main supporting vine which is a good thing. Color is still very white, so it does not look like this one picked up any of the pollinator color influence;-)
I am also very impressed with the growth considering the full blown virus infection and I do not expect this growth to continue for much longer. Sad to see but I am still hopeful that I will have something to weigh at a weigh-off this year.
