Re: Liquid coming out of my pumpkin


I was concerned that Hawaiian growers would face this sort of problem. The 
hot humid weather gives rise to fungus and bacteria that are so numerous 
that...

Let me give you an example. I cut myself once with a spear gun tip (windward 
Oahu). Bubbles started springing up in the skin around the cut. Itched like 
poison oak. Went to the doctor and he said, "I'll give you a shot of 
broad-spectrum antibiotics since there is just no way of knowing which 
organism has infected your skin."

All I can suggest for the plants is using lots of antifungus sprays or 
powders. If you want to go organic, I believe that it will be very hard to 
grow a big pumpkin. 

Good luck

John
