More Bottled Pumpkin

I know I said I'd wait 'til the end result, but who can wait that long? It still has a bit of growing before it's ready, & I've already read up on how to preserve pumpkins for as long as possible once they're off the vine, if necessary. I mean I don't want it outgrowing the bottle. Not to mention I've been having bug problems, eating leaves on another vine.
