a pumpkin that rotted off it's stem and has been off of the vine for 30 days, sitting outside, with a piece of shade cloth over it, how much weight would it loose? Temps for the first two weeks were pushing 100 consistantly, last 2 weeks average of 85. Very dry conditions with full sun. Opinions? Just curious.

Vince has graciously offered to help load the fruit and help me take it up in his truck. I will follow with the kids in the car. Will be fun to see everyone:) Will be interesting to see how much weight it lost.
