Oh man,
I went out to get some final measurements this afternoon
and notice that some pumpkins are "weeping" goo from little fissures -
almost like it's sweating sticky syrup.
What's it all mean? Will my chosen pumpkin for a weigh off on the 12th make
it?
Is there something I should do, or should not have done?
Thanks for this one last plea for advice this season,
Best of Luck to All!
It's been so fun this year.

The sticky stuff means it is growing faster than its skin will allow. Take a spone of bleach in a coffee mug with a cup of water and clean the area. then rub some captan around the area, you will only have trouble if the area is getting soft.
Goooooooood Luck
