Have a pumpkin with a blossom end that has dryed up, lobes and all. The end is dry and its is still growing and has been for the last week . Its 74 inches in cir. and I need to know if this is the start of blossom end rot . I have to cull this one or the one next to it. Both are growing at the same rate. Any imput would help.

Sounds like everthing is going just fine. This is the normal course the blossom end takes. Something other than this may be cause for alarm.
