Re: Support Group

Yesterday I was checking my pumpkins and with one of my largest I found a split at the blossom end. I prodded a little and found out that the pumpkin is starting to go soft. I did some OTT measurements and showed that it is a little of 800 lbs. So yes, a big disappointment. The only good news is that I have one more left that might be bigger than this one. Today, I get to spend hacking up the split pumpkin and hauling if off before it becomes smelly. I will say that growing these things require a lot of skill and being able to take one to the gut when you least expect it.
