Looks like this pumpkin will curl over the blossom end which is not necessarily a bad thing. I am doing my best to position it so this occurs as late as possible. I could pack some sand under it to get it level, but what I do not like about this option is that you are then committed to this bed of sand for the entire season. I have seen in one growers patch that they ended up having to put about 2ft of sand under the pumpkin by the end of the season.
