This shot shows just about how close the rot was to reaching the pumpkin. I'd say less than six feet. I am surprised that it could rot that quickly. But, then again, I may not have noticed the rotting because I have had really bad weeds in the last little while. I still do, even after filling three yard waste bags full of quack grass and thissles. Maybe that provided a home for all sorts of pathogens. Or, maybe pulling all of those weeds damaged the root system. Then again, it didn't seem to affect the Gerry plant.
