Crack in pumpkin
Yesterday I was celebrating because I had my fist 20 pound day on my biggest
fruit on the Pugh 520. It was estimated at 120 pounds. This morning I went out
to it and saw a 1 inch crack on the blossom end. Is this it? My first
inclination was to caulk it with silicone for it is pretty deep. I know the
standard procedure is to make a past out of fungicide. Do you think it is
probably too big? (I know you can't see it) Should I use the fungicide? Should
I just figure this pumpkin is done? Any advice will be appreciated. We just
had an inch of rain in 12 hours so this probably contributed I am assuming.
