I got a battery operated fan from my daughter and have it set up to dry out the split. Once it is dry it will be filled with sulfur and sealed with quick drying latex caulk. I will try to get another water shedding cover over the stem. I learned while watering that the shade tarp leaks a little, and it gets condensation on the bottom in the morning. If the crack widens I may have to re-caulk. I found 2 small pumpkins hiding in the weedy vine tangle left by the flood and eliminated them. So far growth for August has averaged 19# per day. Today is hottest day of the year, around 92 and sunny.
