Helen's twins. Had to make an "S" bend in the vine to accomodate either of them. One is slightly uphill, one slightly downhill. (Alas, I have very little flat ground here.) Both pumpkins have small splits. We had a week of blazing hot weather and it got rather dry. Two nights ago I might have overwatered causing the vines to be engorged and split. Noticing some slug damage too; they go for the cut ends of vines and have done some damage to vines themselves. So out comes the slug bait. And slugs are crazy for make flower anthers! That pollen must emit a tastey fragrance to them as I often see slugs curled inside the male flowers feasting away.
