Time to get caught up on the diary. Starting with some blossom down observations...

Very short stem on this one, grew up a fence on its own, the interesting thing here is the shape of the pumpkin was distorted by the stem pulling on the top and pushing on the bottom. The pumpkins are somewhat plastic and it's good to be aware of any pressure that is distorting the pumpkin in an undesired way.

...Kinda hard to see here but pressure being applied at the stem from hanging sideways is definitely distorting the shape of the pumpkin itself.
