<< t touch my Burpee Prizewinner plant (of
course), or my melons or anything else. NO, he had to pick the HESTER, and
ONLY the Hester! We are going to make cages from wire mesh to out over the
other ones, but still the Hester was my only real hope, so I don't know what
to do now. If I can't find any other seeds, I guess I am majorly screwed. If
anyone by any chance has any extra, PLEASE let me know, I will do anything
for
them. I have one more question that I seriously dount is true, but this other
guy who grows pumpkins (not prize winning ones, just regular Jack-O-Lantern
type ones), said that sometimes even if the seed leaves are chewed off, it
still might survive (?). I want to beleive him, but I also don't want to get
my hopes up if it's not true. Does anyone think ther eis any chance of this?

The Hester may not be DEAD! If the little growing tip ( third leaf nub) is
still there...it might make it. If the small growing tip was eaten off....you
are done. Invest in some 4 by 4s and a couple rolls of turkey wire and put up
a good fence around the whole patch. A fenced in area is a prerequisite for
all growers...the varmints will be back.
