This pumpkin has the early indication that it will be a very round and orange pumpkin which is exactly what I was hoping for when I planted the seed. It will take a little more adjusting to get it positioned properly but each day it is getting closer to the ideal angle to the main vine. I feel very fortunate that this pumpkin is unharmed from the hail I received; the umbrella took the hit and saved the pumpkin. Leaves still have a highly ventilated structure and the vine is damaged but hopefully the impact the growth of the pumpkin will be minimal.
