Re: CA buds

Do you have squirrels? They will "test" a pumpkin and in so doing leave
claw and bite marks. If that's your critter, you need to stop them now
because they will come back and they will tunnel right through the pumpkin
wall to get to those seeds. I was attacked two nights ago and now my best
pumpkin (Zunino 567 - 171" OTT in 21 days) looks like someone walked all
over it in golf cleats. I've since put a three foot tall, double layer
nylon bird netting cage around each pumpkin. Benjamin and I also had a
brief discussion with one of the offending squirrels.

Janet, good to hear from you! I have a question, but it may provoke
jokes when I'm serious.
Last week I fell in love at first sight with a pumpkin. Everything about
her is perfect, except that she's way behind the list's heavy hitters in
development. She has the longest and thickest stem I ever saw on a
pumpkin. Does this mean anything, good or bad?
I'm starting to fear varmints or other vandals have invaded. Today I
found two scratches almost like fingernail scratches on my 2nd best
punk, one about an inch long, the other twice that. What would do that?
You're ALL welcome to answer the stem question, the scratch question or
both. Thanks!
Kathie
