>Mike and any other pumpkin growers,
> Did you send your varmints up here or what? The sob's hit my patch in
the past 24hrs. the evidence is there around the base of one of my 815's
that is nearing the 700 pound mark. Well I'll tell you what I have done so
far and let me know if you have any other suggestions. I sprayed the raw
exposed flesh that is near the ground with captan solution. then I located a
tiny tunnel under the stem end. I dug out as far as I can reach and it seems
there is a open space up under there.I am hoping that it's just a concave
bottom and not a hole into the pumpkin. Maybe I should keep digging more.
but I just couldn't stand it. In stead of calling 911 and risk being locked
up in a mental ward...I set off a couple gas sticks under the pumpkin. there
was smoke coming out at the base on the sides of the pumpkin so I sealed off
all around it with moist dirt . so now no smoke comes out. and I lit
another one. covered the entrance of the hole with a round river rock . Now
I have 4 boxes o!
>f Decon and 8 mouse traps loaded up with the chunky peanut butter. I will
set them out around the pumpkin too. Is there anything else that you know
that works. I want to see dead bodies as soon as possible. Hope they haven't
made a mouse house of my big one!
