While this may not be the biggest pumpkin in the patch it sure is the best looking. I have not been covering this pumpkin and the color has only been getting better each day. This pumpkin was orange long ago, but I am now seeing if I can get some of the red/orange color to come though. For whatever reason (my guess is sugar content) the cucumber beetles seem to really like this pumpkin and have been quite a pest damaging the skin in some places. But I have been doing my best to control them and the small areas of damage are minimal as the vast majority of this pumpkin looks like a true giant pumpkin.
