Sacrifice

I decided to sacrifice pumpkin 1 this afternoon. Growth stopped for a
few days and then it actually started shrinking so I knew it was time
to cut it loose. I don't know why this happened, perhaps it just
started too early. Maybe it was the foam rubber I put under it to
protect it from the ground. Perhaps an infection, who knows. Either
way, the one pumpkin remaining on the plant will get 100% of the
nutrients now.
