Notice orientation of the hay in the middle of the bale here... I cut the bale strings and turned the flakes the other way and retied the bale. Also I removed a few flakes to use on top, which makes it possible both to retie the bale and gives a gap for the pumpkin to bend down after the blossom sets.

...Later the horizontal hay flakes under the pumpkin will be pulled out one at a time as the pumpkin gets bigger. This will allow it space to grow down. Seems like a lot of work, huh?
