Advice for all Howard Dill hopefuls out there, beware touching your pumpkins too much and with dirty hands or gloves. I have scratched many young pumpkins with the slightest touch (see Pebbles) and as a result have changed my handling practices this year. I only ever handle my pumpkins with bare hands as I feel you get a better grip with more sensitivity than gloves, but only if my hands are clean. I have also started using a soft bristle paintbrush to remove the rain splash, and it seems to be leaving less scratches overall. Flap the bristles on your hand or leg every couple wipes to knock out any debris that may have worked it's way into the bristles.
