what's with all the hubub about this watermelon shaped business? pumpkins
come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, especially AG's. mine started out
as a water melon shape, and it's doing just fine. i've had pumpkins that
were nice and round and end up looking like a big fat pear. i'm not sure
that any one particular shape is more prone to a split.
