Pumpkin Care


Hi,

What is the preferred treatment for a pumpkin after it has begun
growing?  I understand that it needs to be cleaned with a
diluted solution of bleach but is there a pesticide that is
recommended?  I have been lightly dusting mine with Sevin as
needed and this has seemed to keep the pests away.  I don't want
to use one though that will harden their young skin so they will
continue growing well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
