My Pumpkin has a protruded blosom end on it. I haven't really seen this too much in pictures. Will the pumpkin eventually fill out and get more of an inverted blosom end or will it keep a similar shape over its life span.

Haven´t had this at such a later stage yet, but my pumpkin on the 1140 Van Rompaey plant had developed a somewhat protruded blossom end within the first days (compare Pumpking diary entries July 6th and July 11th), and within the past two weeks it went broad, filled up, and this pumpkin is currently becoming the best growing fruit on my patch (had added 10 kg today). Good luck with yours, may it decide to do the same. And even if it doesn´t, it seems to be a strong blossom end which is less likely to split.

If its growing well don't change what you are doing. You will find out later if the blossom end will be a problem but don't let it stress you out. And your plant is looking very healthy. Good luck and god speed.

Was trying to find pictures of the Holland 1277.5 from whence came my seed. Anyway I ran across this photo on the pacific northwest giant pumpkin growers site. Don't know if thats it or not but if it is that would explain the shape on my pumpkin.

I love that picture! Not sure if that's the kin, but that's the same shape as yours. It could really turn out to be nice like the one in the picture.
