I grow them every year and I promise they are not as hard to open as a butternut squash. You just need a nice sharp knife and a little muscle.

You can grow them on a trellis because they are not all that heavy. I have a little 3 ft. high wire fence around my garden and I trained the vine to on it and had pumpkisn dangling on the fence.

Jon, that yellow on the leaf does not look normal but it does not look like a disease. Are they getting enough water. It almost looks like they have gotten too much sun. Once they are really established they can handle just about anything. I do mulch mine.
