A view from the other side for a change. I'm a bit concerned the pumpkin won't roll back on itself and crush the stem; there's not a lot I can do about it given its weight apart from move the vine around a little bit every day to relieve stress. Today I spotted the first signs of blackfly which usually appears at this time of year on the underside of some leaves, so everything got sprayed with BugClear. Meanwhile we saw a gain of 31lb to 204lb @ DAP 25, the largest daily gain I've experienced in the short time I've been growing these things.
