well the extension agent came out today. He took a leaf for testing and said hes pretty sure its alternaria. He suggested I cut off the worst leaves, spray a fugicide and boost the nitrogen. He also said not to leave the cut leaves there because it could affect me next year if I do. Well that was scary! Now Im wondering if I should just pull the whole thing and haul it off. The pumpkin on it isnt growing anymore, it stopped at ott 153 almost a week ago. Good news... There are no gnats or smells so I assume its solid. Also, he doesnt think its spread the my last plant (yet) so theres still hope for this season. I cant decide what to do. If I cut the pumpkin could it last 29 days til the fair? HELP!!!!
