Back to the pumpkins. I guess it goes without saying that it is hard to grow these things without making daily observations and adjustments. This is the blossom end shell of my 434 est Gerhardt 2006. the flesh was mostly uniform about 6" all the way around. I had hoped that when I cut it open I would see some reason why this pumpkin went down (along with the other one on the plant) but there were no holes into the cavity. The plant just basically quit. PM was a major factor for sure. Tbere's something very surreal about tromping into a patch and carelessly mashing vines to hack open a fruit with a tree saw that only weeks ago I was tip-toeing around.
