Well most my pumpkins have rotted an returned to the ground.....but one
still is in good conditions despite being out in all the elements....it
grew on its stem an it was placed stem down on the ground...........Why
does this help them last longer? And if there something magic here maybe
growing them in this position would hold them better to a weigh
off......any comments???......Brock

Possibilities:
It was resting on the thickest toughest part of the Pumpkin. They tend to
flatten out in this position though. Sunlight would have kept the thin flower
end dry and disease resistant.
It was on the vine longer and was allowed to mature completely. I start mine
very early and they are fully matured on the vine and last a long time.
