While I was hoping for a problem free plant, I have noticed an issue where the pumpkin joins the main vine. I have done my best to ensure minimal vine stress and dusted the area with Sulfur so hopefully this keeps the issue from progressing. The pumpkin is still growing so there is still flow to the pumpkin. As this pumpkin grow it seems to be tipping the blossom end up despite my early season adjustment, but this is slowly occurring so I think the pumpkin will be in good shape as it continues to grow. I am also seeing hints of good orange color which was one of the main reasons I decided to grow it and I was also able to make the cross I planned on.
