Trying a mechanical calcium boost. (Fan).

Vine path marked in pink. Pumpkin has enough room to get to 4 ft diameter. I'll have to make changes if its gonna get bigger than that. Blossom nub is tucked down into a small void in the dirt. Call me crazy... But I've never had the blossom nub rot even when stuck in the dirt. I guess I've got clean dirt.
But later I may dig a hole under the pumpkin for ventilation, and blow sulfer under the pumpkin. (This might help if there was minor cracking where rot could get started.)
