This image displays my new shade structure well. It is good for this pumpkin in particular because it wants to develop a sunken-in blossom end where water could collect. If I can eliminate the water influx, ideally the blossom end should never have water in it to reduce the chance of rotting. Moving this pumpkin was a great idea back on July 15th because it is still well positioned with very little stem stress. What is also interesting is that the main vine has seemed to swell up along with the stem after the move. It could be unrelated, but hopefully, this is a good sign.
