RE: Crack in pumpkin
Heck, make the fungicide paste, slap it on, and hope for the best!
Can't hurt to try, and if you don't, you'll NEVER know if it would have
worked.
Do it man!

Subject: 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.
