Looks like I have a white pumpkin on this plant and it also has a high shape. I left the umbrellas at the same height that was in my previous pictures for a source of comparison. Overall, this plant still has some room to fill-in but the secondary growth has slowed down probably due to the growing pumpkin. Growing these giant pumpkins timing is very important. The change of vegetative growth to fruit growth is an important transition that needs to be orchestrated carefully. The challenge is that the each year the weather is different and timing the pollination time with the size of the plant is where the grower can in part control this shift.
