From a front view, at 6 DOC I moved her left of center on the cone and placed the thicker shim underneath. This has several thoughts behind it. It is the second reason that no adjustment was made yesterday. The thin side needs to catch up in girth, but won't do so until it hits the board and equal pressure is supporting the bottom, until then gravity is king and the heavy side will win. I believe this is a natural thing for pumpkins to develop more to one side than the other, so just working with Mother Nature here. By setting left for one day, the pumpkin has gripped the shim by sagging a little over top, and is now essentially stuck in place rather than being pushed out as it grows.
