Rocky ,
So sad for you . You are not alone buddy .
YOu might try the fix it any way, you have nothing to loose at this point.
PF
copy of earlyer post about soft spots:
Shel, Yes. If you have a soft stem or a spot on the pumpkin, think of it
as
cancer. Dusting over a bad spot will allow the soft rot organisms to keep
doing their thing. Scrape it out to solid clean pumpkin meat, rinse with
water, let dry. Apply a concentrated solution of fungicide, captan, bravo,
or
both. Keep the wound dry, block sprinklers and rain from hitting it. Don't
pack a wound with Captan, it stays moist and is not needed. Just a good
strong
dose of fungicide, then let the air get at it and dry it out.
