Re: Blossom end split
Well, one can always hope. Never seen a pumpkin with a split
through to the cavity last very long. However, it will
continue to grow.
Last year I had two blossom end splits, and in both pumpkins,
the split just got worse the more it grew.
I plugged both with capton paste and a silicon rubber seal over
that to no avail, both rotted from the inside out.
Sorry, best of luck.
