Hello Everyone -

Second year grower here. I've got a situation that is probably going to prove to be a problem. I don't know enough about it to be sure.

I've got an quickly-growing pumpkin that is starting to grow over its blossom end. It looks as though, in a few days time, it will be laying on top of the blossom end.

The pumpkin is taping at approx. 250 lbs. now. Any suggestions on what can be done, if anything? Is this cause for concern?

Thanks!

Topsfield, Ma.

I don't see any problem other than you won't see any splits should they occur. Had a lot of worries last season with a similar situation until I discovered it was only a toad coming and going from the blossom end overgrowth...LOL!
