End of the line for the first pumpkin set on the replacement main on the 1723 Marshall. A real shame as the pumpkin was in terrific shape it just had a very short stem from the start and couldn't adjust for the expansion that came with the growth. It created a tear across the top of the stem all the way through to the cavity of the stem filling it with fluid. I drilled a hole all the way through to the bottom side of the stem to allow it to drain. The next day I noticed it was filling the incoming core of the main with fluid causing it to get soft. From there I knew it was a lost cause and culled it as well as the other two young pumpkins that were left.
