Harvesting Early
With pumpkins there is always room for a change of plans and this is a prime example. Since the last image, there was a reformation of the "Fish Eggs".
Note: A more scientific term for what visually looks like "Fish Eggs" is Edema which is a condition where excess fluid accumulates in tissues causing swelling.
Essentially this is what is causing the "Fish Eggs" which are the 3-dimentional structure that contains the excessive fluid build-up in those previously seen round structures.
What makes this structure and formation odd is that even after the area was cleared there was a reformation of the "Fish Egg" structures, which (I did not get any new images of and) I am now referring to as more of a "Tear Drop" shape. for obvious reasons.
There were some potential plans for this pumpkin so I had to let a few people know of the personal DQ of the pumpkin while still in the patch. While I appreciated the hopeful words and suggestions from growers, I came to the realization myself.
