In my long 2 year growing career, I have always had young fruit with smooth and tight skin. I've seen a few like this up North in cooler areas, but that isn't the case here. Anyone else have anything like this that amounted to something or is it a lemon?

Thanks

I don't want a redneck pumpkin, I want a Wallace style. lol

It averages about 3 CC a day and hope it picks up. The wrinkles got worse today, but it is just as shiny. NSB had one like this last year on the 500 Dill that filled out, but we have opposite climates. I have another one that is 4 days old so I'll just have to compare measurements in a week.

They change alot over time Luke, mine from last year is proof of that for sure.

But I think Chris nailed it...that is one redneck pumpkin!!

Glenn, I went back and looked at that Dill pumpkin in your diary last year. I hope it's the case and it fills out like that!
