HA! Good one Steve!
I may be pumpkinless as well this year. One vine split at the base and
the other was attacked by slugs. Got hoards of squash bugs as well.
Remay is coming in the mail, but it may be too late. I was surprised to
find out that my local Agway doesn't stock it. I'm starting some more
seeds now.

You could always send your buddy with the tiller over to your
brother-in-law's.
