This pumpkin has decent color, but the shape is a little asymmetrical. I can say that this must be the best tasting pumpkin in the patch, as over the course of just two nights the varmints really did a lot of damage to this pumpkin. It seems I tried everything and nothing would stop them until I added the Ultra-Sonicator (which is the gray item next to the pumpkin). This devise produces ultra sonic sound waves to essentially annoy the varmints, and as a result, they find other places to go. The day after putting this devise out the severely fed on areas began to heal over as there was no new damage. Once the varmints identified this pumpkin as a food source they seemed very happy, but it seems now they have found another place to go. This is just another one of the challenges of growing giant pumpkins.
