I came back to Boulder after being gone 4 days only to discover that our neighborhood squirrels had decided to sample 2 of my pumpkins. I had thought about throwing netting over them before I went out of town. I figured they hadn't chewed on my pumpkins in past years until they had matured a bit more, so I was safe for a few more weeks. Hah!
I immediately found the netting and placed it on a 3rd fruit that was developing. Hopefully that will be enough to deter them for awhile.
The circumference of the larger pumpkin from stem to blossom end is 17.5". I'm going to leave it on the vine and be optimistic and hope it will scale over and keep growing.
