Trimmed with razor to take off the "stalk hood" that was overhanging and got down to just the vine itself. More care will be done next year to complete this the first time I cut away, so the pumpkin doesn't have to heal twice. I like just a dusting of powder versus the paste and packing that some use. Applied in jabbing motion to get deep into nooks and crannies. If you look close, you can see fluid pushing through the powder, I will touch up with more jabs until it stops bleeding through, then apply a fan. I should have waited until the evening to do this just as positioning vines after heat stress so less snapping occurs, but sometimes you forget your own advice until you see it and remember you didn't want to keep doing that...
