P.F.....This smell may not be a good sign........smell is sometimes how I
can tell if the pumpkin is rotting inside out.......but heres what you have
to check as it got me last season had a nice pumpkin going but kept
smelling rotting pumpkin it was driving nuts till I found it was a baby
pumpkin near by...oh the relief........sometimes you can tell by wiggling
the the blossom nipple it seems to soften first....good luck ....brock
