Re: exploding pumpkin?


Last year I don't think I watered enough and this year I may have possibly water 
too much.  Need to find a happy medium.  Could too much water be the cause of my 
losing 50%+ of my pumpkins?  I think it is disease, ect. since I have had a 
horrible year. Sucks coming after my personal best last year.

I think that is usually from overwatering - that's what happened to me last
year.
