The exact positioning of this pumpkin is on a little bit of an uneven surface, so I am doing the best to keep things level so that I do not run into any issues later in the season. By the current position I think I made the proper adjustments early to be ready for the exponential growth phase. It does seem that this pumpkin has more yellow color than its sibling located behind it. However, the shape of this pumpkin indicates that it will most likely have some form of a sunken blossom end. Personally, this is not a look I care for, but there is nothing I can do.
