Another thought for all Howard Dill hopefulls out there. Last year I opened a discussion about whether or not to cover your pumpkin. The general consensus was ONLY uncover for pictures. While you do need to keep direct light off of the skin to avoid splitting, I believe some amount of sun is necessary for true potential in color. I was asked many times how I got the color on my 982, and while genetics are the most important factor in color, it is not the only factor. I believe that better color can be brought out of already orange pumpkins. This is my first uncovered pumpkin from start to finish. Note the position of the towel that has been in place for about 5 days now.
