Great job. Hoping all goes well with the slit and it avoids at all going into the Pumpkin. Beautiful pumpkins keep up the great work.

I'm growing my first giant pumpkin. I just discovered a severe split from the stem to the fruit , on both sides of the stem. 😮💨 Any recommendations for saving it? Any way I can send you a picture? It's a Dill's giant atlantic. Pumkin is about a month old. In the PNW.

You need a fan you can hook to a dryer hose. You can then manipulate any way you want and apply direct high valocity air anywhere. I use bouncy house fans and they are the bimb.
