So I'm back down the rabbit hole... I really wanted the shape of the pumpkin from last year (perfectly round and squat) but with the stem on top. This year I took a cross section from a log, and knocked a flat spot on it. The pumpkin just past the log will be the chosen child if pollination goes well. The main vine will be terminated after pollination takes, and I'll set the pumpkin upright at the front of a 4' x 4' platform so that I have room to slide it backwards as it grows. A similar foam ring to the "pumpcone " will be used to hold the blossom off of the board until the sides seat themselves around it. Hopefully I've left enough room in the vine for it to raise enough. Could be amazing, could be a lot of work for nothing, but I like to at least try different things.
