Day 40. Just when I thought things were going good a turn for the worse. As I was hand watering some vines that the sprinkler does not hit directly I glanced at the stem end of my smaller pumpkin and noticed two stem end splits! One goes quite deep (inch to an inch and a half--maybe 2 inches). It does not look like either split goes right through to the cavity of the pumpkin, but nonetheless, I am not sure if this will end my second pumpkin prematurely through rot or stoppage of growth or what have you.
In other news the one on the main was up a measly 12 lbs since yesterday. Might be the decrease in watering I did in anticipation for the rain, or perhaps the cool weather. Anyway, not a great day in the patch at any rate.
