This is the pumpkin exactly where the leaf sample was taken.
You can see the deficiencies in the stem end of the pumpkin!!! Usually I have gotten deficiencies in the blossom end but this combo of deficiencies is showing up on the stem end. I suspect maybe since the boron wasnt quite as low as the phosphorus? Its interesting how the plant will sometimes allocate resources on one end or the other, and it can also allocate resources to both ends but not the middle, so you get peanut shape or dill ring. Are all these slight variations in shape due to the exact mineral profile...?
They're supposed to look smooth & plump everywhere (as you may already know!)
