Anything to worry about??? I think the leaf blowing created the stress that caused the split so the leaf went bye bye.

Rookie recap, 400lb goal my only pumpkin (933 Berard selfed) taped an estimated 537. Soil is a work in progress, gotta figure out why my plant self terminated. Lots of great help from everyone here. Should have some great seeds coming this winter. Gonna put an 800+ goal out there for year 2. Also trying some other interesting plants next season. Good growing everyone.
