Early on this was a long pumpkin and to date, its shape has not changed much. The top seems to be getting a little on the flatter side, but I do not see this as an area of concern. Even with its consistent pumpkin growth the vines on this plant continue to slowly grow and I continue to vine bury where I can. Soon this plant should have its full area taken up and then the plant can focus mainly on pumpkin growth, or at least this is what I am hoping for.

I did have to put more sand around the pumpkin to help it shift on the mill fabric as it grows. I have needed to pull this back quit a few times early on, but now it seems like it is in a good spot on the mill fabric.
