I think your mite diagnosis is correct.....another little mother is thripes
very small and there larva distort and dry leaf edges.......sometimes
leave streaks in there wake.........get em
attaching a sharp knife to pvc pipe works pretty well.........try and set
your pumpkin close to an edge of your patch if you can that will save soil
compaction..too............brock
