RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #58

Hi Again,

Thanks for the thoughts Steve. I looked on the internet and didn't really see
any pictures that looked like what is going on with my pumkins BUT I was out
pruning and discovered some type of worm in one of the stems. Looks like it
leaves the same gunk that corn worms leave on corn so I Sevin-ed them up
really good. Hope that works. It's just that it rained a few hours later and I
may need to re-apply.
That brings up the question- What's you all's favorite pumkin pesticied??
Sevin- Malathione??     I'd love to hear personal experiences from any and all
growers.
Thanks,

Rich Briggs in St. Louis
