And here is the Pitura this morning. Now at 14.5 feet, it is finally showing a tiny female buried in the tip of the main stem. It is too small to photograph, I had to be extremely careful looking for it so as not to break the tip of the plant. It is probably two weeks away from being ready to pollinate, which is later than I had hoped, but maybe that will turn out to be good. They say that the biggest pumpkins typically will be 14 to 18 feet out from the stump, and that's right where it will be!
