This pumpkin continues to grow in length and will be a long pumpkin for sure. The small female flowers that I have removed all had a long shape to it, so this is simply what this plant wants to produce. I do not think this is a negative it just seems very pronounced with this pumpkin. It is always nice to have some variety in the patch.
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.
