I did a bit of heavy lifting today. It was definitely way past the date that I should have been putting a bigger piece of styrofoam under my pumpkin. So, it was pretty heavy when I lifted it. But, I had some help and I was gentle. So, I hope it works out.
You can see that the fruit cracked the 2" styrofoam as soon as I put it down. I guess it had already hollowed out a hole in the ground for itself. So, it tried to settle back into it. That's good, I guess.
I also added some play sand to support the sides and tried to shove as much as I could underneath. I'll have to add more styrofoam around the sides pretty soon. But, I think that's the last time that I'll need to move the pumpkin.
The vine will need some adjusting, though, because the shoulders are starting to creep closer and closer. I'll probably pot some smaller pieces of styrofoam between the shoulders and vine to keep them from rubbing or causing too much stress.
