...Will be blossom down, here's an unhelpful diagram!

Its looking good to become blossom down... Its tied a couple feet up in the air right now. In a few days the pumpkin will bend down (under its own weight) to be perpendicular to the vine... Then I can lower the entire vine, and at that point the pumpkin will be blossom down, probably have it resting on a large pile of dirt. Im not too worried about the contact with dirt, but I'm very worried about rats this year. I dont know how to deal with them. Maybe some merciless trapping.
