The bone pile. I've never seen anyone else show theirs on their diary, but if you are a grower just starting out in this hobby it may be the most important picture you see on my diary. It's a lesson that took me many years to learn, but proactive pruning and proper vine training are essential to keeping pumpkins going into the fall.
