Re: Help! Worms in Stalk

Hello Victoria and Lowell,
Thanks for helping me.  Today I bought Pyrethrin/retenone and sprayed the 
entire garden. Tomorrow I will try the potato method to see if I got them!
Fortunately, the plants that had the worms were only a trial planting 
because I was excited to get outside after a long winter.  Sure am glad it 
happened now instead of later.
Again, thank you and I will keep you updated.
Your Pumpkin Friend, Tony P.
