The reason for me being off-center. So we all know how pumpkins sit straight up at pollination, then lay down as they get heavy. It is this critical time period that I believe determines your final pumpkin shape, more on this later. I propped the stem itself to straighten it out for the vertical set as the curved stem last year slightly affected the end shape. In doing this, the pumpkin itself must have been leaning slightly and twisted the main vine in order to help itself straighten. More of a twist straight than a lay opposite the curve. Also, if I have to be honest with myself, I can see she's not perfectly round looking at the 10 o'clock position.
