Oh, the pumpkin is very solid and and the split is ony 2 inches in the
flesh, I am sure the wall is thinker than that. I also send a little pin in
and the split didn't go into the cavity since the pen stoped about 2 inches
in. But I saw a pumpkin on a web site that looks just like mine with the
coloring. It is at

My pumpkin has the same type of coloring. Is this normal with AG's?
