two down two to go


Ive been growing giant atlantics for 10 years, and lost all my pumpkins the 
last 3 years, I had to pull 2 of my plants this week. The leaves start by 
turning a lighter green . Than the plant starts wilting down around mid day. Than 
the leaves on the end of the vines turn a a yellow or copper color and vine 
stops growing . Than the pumpkins stop growing and die off. It usally starts when 
pumpkins are basketball size. If anyone has had this problem or a cure let me 
know, or a good place I can test my soil or plant. I think it migt be a root 
problem. I know it isnt bacteria wilt.
I have 3 plots and rotate them. I sprayed good for insects and used root 
shield .
I even amputated whole secondary vines. nothing works
Thanks 
Mike Lehman
