Re: Long split

Rob,
if it is on the pumpkin and didn't get into the cavity..then you have a chance.
If it has allowed air into the pumpkin cavity...it is a goner.? Sorry.
Captan is the right thing to "dry" it up and heal it.

All,

I had rain for 40 days and 40 nites.  Actually, just a bad storm on Sunday but 
one of many. The patch finally is drying. I measured this morning and had no 
growth overnight. I am at 103" circ. after 30 days.   I pruned a little today, 
mostly all the dead leaves and some vines. 

I now have a 1.5' long split down the center of my fruit running stem to 
blossom.  It is in the middle. I patched it with Captan. What are my chances?  
Probably not so good.


Thanks,

Rob
