Anyone out there think I have anything to be worried about with this blossom? It seems to be okay except for right where that little extra piece touches the pumpkin. That spot is not filled out as much as the rest of the blossom end, but isn't soft or rotten. The rest of the pumpkin looks awesome (knock on wood). My other fruit on this plant is five more feet out and had a great 10-day measurement this morning, but is going to require some major shifting to keep it away from the main. I really want to keep the bigger pumpkin but would like some feedback from growers who have seen something like this before.

thanks
Kel

i had 2 exactly like that last year. they were no problem at all, never showed any deformity with the rest of the pumpkin, and both made it to the weighoff.

I wasn't quite so lucky with my 1068 Wallace two years ago.
