Re: Pumpkin coloring
Is the color change just in the area of the stem or on other parts of the
Pumpkin as well ?
Does the vine have enough slack in it ? Make sure it has plenty of slack, cut
any leaves or side vines if necessary. Support the weight of the vine with
bricks, wood or styrofoam blocks ASAP.
