I've noticed that some pumpkins have this. I have one on one of my pumpkins, that is about 4" in diameter around the blossom end. Is there a term for this. Do you know what I'm referring to? If your remember Petey the dog on The Little Rascals(Our Gang Comedies), he had a black ring around one eye. The ring around my blossom end is gray in color(like a russeting)and about 1/2" in width.
I've noticed a minor split in this area I'm hoping it will not be a problem. Are these rings a problem area for splits? I have a digital picture, but haven't figured out how to get it on my diary yet.
