The pumpkin I showed on the 1047.5 blossom down plant yesterday is history. I went to adjust it little, saw that it was already tearing off the vine, and moving it just an inch snapped it off. But there was another about the same size. close to the end of a secondary. I took no chances, cut off the end of the vine at the pumpkin and got the vine propped up with Styrofoam. At this time of the year, it will grow conventionally and we will hope for the best. Another one aborted on the 748, but we have 3 nice ones around 40 to 50 pounds growing nicely.
