The 24 day old 2045 Krusznya pumpkin blew up in a spectacular system of cracks some time overnight or early this morning . It didn’t look as if the cavity was breached, hard to tell. I know this pumpkin would never make it with that kind of damage so it was cut off the vine. The area in which the 2045 plant was grown had standing water in it for days which probably contributed to its demise. A small pumpkin on an anemic secondary was placed on plywood. There are a few others on secondary vines that I’ll watch and will choose the best grower. You never know. The 2017 Pappas 1438 was pollinated this late, and grown under similar circumstances.
