Reba is showing the same type of stem/shoulder split that Greta has. They are my two tallest pumpkins and I believe that is a contributing factor. I'm doing my best to elevate the vine as quickly as possible but they have split anyway. I think it is their height in combination with their growth spurts. The soil is not at all wet, but the heat and all the nutrients in the soil has them taking off anyway. I am still going to avoid watering as long as I can to see if I can get these to heal up. The good news on Greta's split is that it is not any worse and I am now sure that it doesn't go into the cavity, so she still has a chance. This is what happens when you are pushing them to the max!
