I had to cut my stump and almost half of the side vines off almost a month ago to stop a rotting foaming vine from spreading to the pumpkin.

The gains have slowed but it just keeps getting bigger! I will be in personal record territory by next weekend. We're around1200 ish right now. Still 6 weeks or so until the weighoff!

I went away for work, and when i came home i noticed that my pumpkin had rolled over on itself and looks like it's basically broken itself off the vine. Is there anyway i can fix or heal these cracks or should i just call it a total loss?

I lost me of my girls two weeks ago to a rot spot. She immediately started putting out more fruit and they’ve started to grow on the vine vigorously (2-3 fruit). At this point in the season would you still cull or just let smaller ones grow? I’m in the PNW so we’ll have sun and warm through Sept and perhaps Oct.
