Here is another picture of my patch showing the steepness of my lawn—in real life it is steeper than it looks here. It is great for increasing the sunlight hours, and drainage, but last year I had to support my pumpkin as it began to twist on the vine from the gravity of the hill. Next year I will move the patch further back I think. At any rate, I need to set a fruit close (maybe 10 feet out on the main max). That area at the far left of the picture where you see that small log is a rock wall drop-off. My sundeck/house is at the bottom of that drop-off. If a monster got loose from the vine and rolled it could seriously damage my sundeck, or even injure someone. Nobody told be growing pumpkins would be dangerous ☺. Right now I have the 1446 in the greenhouse acclimatizing in its small pot. At 4:00pm (after a brief prayer) it goes in the soil.
