Here's a shot of my main fruit after I did some pruning. The day before yesterday I pruned off the secondary near the stem. I mixed up some garden sulpher with water to form a paste and I put it into a tube so that I could just squeeze it out when I need it. I need to mix it constantly to keep it from seperating. But, it works pretty well to seal up wounds.

The pumpkin is quite a bit larger than the other day. While that may sound great, I just discovered a potential disaster. There was a bit of a split where the stem meets the fruit. So, I used the sulpher paste to cover it up. Now I just have to hope that the split doesn't cause any more problems down the line. But, it's hard to see how it wouldn't.
