I should have taken better care of her at the beginning of the season but got behind. When my wife propped her pumpkin, I only had small scraps of foam to support it to the stem/blossom level line. Her pumpkin grew to the edges too fast and we had to get it on the board before it sagged around the foam, so it ended up out of level as you can see by the veins running along the side. This was a big lesson in early shaping of pumpkins, make your leveling supports bigger than you'd expect to need, or you may end up with a nose dive over the blossom end, again gravity affecting the shape of the top mostly. Hopefully my wife forgives me for not getting a nice big new piece of foam in the first place for her.
