The shape of this pumpkin has maintained its symmetry at least to this point and overall looks like a pumpkin that has great structural integrity. Unlike its sibling this pumpkin still has that white look to it, but there is not much I can do about that for this year. However, I did pollinate it with my most impressive orange colored pumpkin this year. Overall, growth is steady which I hope continues for a long time.
If you look in the lower left corner you will see an ultrasonicator as a preventative for potential mice damage as it seems like they get me earlier and earlier each year. This is the only product I have found that will stop mice from feeding once they have found your pumpkin, so these are effective. I am hoping that having it out before the mice realize the pumpkin is food and will prevent any feeding from ever occurring. The other advantage is that it does not require any poisons.
