Well, a sad day at our house. I don't believe I had mentioned that we had some fungal infection on the button of our AG. I had cut it out & applied a paste of Captan, Daconil & Sulfur but I must not have cut deep enough & it recurred. Last week it went all the way into the cavity & I knew we were done. This is the same patch that I had lost a pumpkin to a foaming stump last year. So that smile on my face is a fooler, I must have been thinking of something else. If you look closely you can see a crack below the button & some foul smelling liquid is leaking out there.
