My small patch for my first try for a big boy. Only 250 sq ft but vines will positioned to maximize my small space. My wife gave me half her garden when I transplanted, I stole another two feet all along and have ended my vines to do their job. I am dreaming of a 500 lb pumpkin, but will be happy to make it to harvest. Shit load of work burying vines and regular maintenance, could not imagine doing 6-8 plants.

Splits starting to develop around stem area. Is this normal or should I do something about it. Weight off is 2 weeks away, thinking about just coasting to the end and stop pushing her if this is a potential problem. What do others think about these splits. Normal or concern?
