Hi, everyone!
Need experienced help here...accidentally nicked the skin of one of my young
fruits growing on the vine. Fruit is about basketball sized, and is round and
lovely.
This happened about four days ago while attempting to cover the growing fruit
with an open ended box for sun shade. The box made contact with the top of
the fruit as I was positioning it. After discovering the gash Monday, I've
sprayed it with Captan twice daily. Should it heal over?
I immediately recalled carving names in the skins of premature pumpkins as a
child and watching the carvings as the fruit matured. I am hoping AGs are
this tough.
The nick or gash, I guess you would say is about an inch long and about 1/8
th inch deep.
Help?
Barb
