Re: Beast trouble!

NO, I just went to smooth out the fungicide paste around the crack and I found it was rotten right threw. This crack's been there for well over a month when I first pasted it and it healed over well but the pumpkin grew with a large indent between the ribs on the top of the pumpkin.The cool nights and steady rain must have made the paste moist enough to make it start to rot. Also I had solid rain and sun protection over  the pumpkin and a light inside to help keep things dry. I hope this explanation helps.I wouldn't want to be thought of as a screwdriving screwball. The pumpkin measures in at over 470lb's it's no world record but it's a big loss for me!     I'm going for a cold one.  Don

We have had about a week of rain and I was looking over my last pumpkin [the beast] I decided to check the crack I pasted off and on for the last month and the screwdriver went right threw!!!!!   It must have been rotting under the past.               I was planning to take it to a pumpkin festival then show it at a  local farm, can the hole be sealed for a few week's to at lease show it at the farm or sould I just cut out the seeds and have a drink or two!  They had my picture with the pumpkin on the front page of are local paper today.Talk about highs and lows in one day.    Thank's Don
