Re: Oozing pumpkin treatment Alun suggested

  Get some Captan anti-fungal powder from the nursery, mix it with just enough water to make a paste and paint it on with a small brush. This is a common practice and well proven.

I have already poured (out of desperation) a bottle of hydrogen peroxide
on it because it had been suggested on this forum.  It has stopped
oozing, but there is sort of a hole at the site.  It doesn't go all the
way through the wall, though.  I am going to wait and see if this
problem dries up and scars over.  Meanwhile I will get some calcium
nitrate at the nursery.  For my tomatoes I have always sprinkled lime on
the soil when I see end rot and this cures the problem.  Perhaps lime
will work as well as calcium citrate for the pumpkin.  What do you
think?
