Not a good day in the patch.... I noticed a wet area at the base of the 1321 Sandercock pumpkin. I touch it and smell it. Yep, rotting pumpkin. So I took a quick measurements and it is about 715# on the chart. I weighed it and it went right to chart. It had a soft spot on the bottom. I may have scuffed the bottom sliding it out 2 weeks ago. Going forward, I better use a tiny bit of sand on the plywood if I'm out if mill fabric . This was not a competition pumpkin .
