Re: damage to pumpkin


I have noticed that anything that touches the pumpkin will leave an
indentation.  I have seen this effect from vines, the ground, and
creative persons thought of growing a pumpkin in a card board box and
what did  they get?  A square pumpkin.  So my guess would be not to do it
unless you want it to look like a fat man's stomach with a very tight
belt on it.  My two bits-Jon in UTAH
