RE: borax


Russ,

Please keep us posted how it works. If it dries & stays dry is most
critical.

Hi Steve,

I just read your post and headed out to my pumpkin that has developed some 
very large splits in the stem.  So severe that you can see into the cavity 
of the pumpkin.  When it first split, I applied Daconil straight from the 
jug.  I then applied a systemic fungicide.  I just got back and filled in 
the stem split with the Borax.  At this stage, it can't hurt to try 
anything.  Thanks for the advice.
