Pull the fruit away from the vine & build some soil on the leaning side. Once the fruit does the death roll it can be hard to correct.

Tremor I lift her every day and tilt back but due to shape she really doesn't want to go back. but i will now add some dirt in front to see if I can slow the forward tilt.

Maybe we could use molds for a day or two like they do to pumpkins in Epcot.
