The 1937's stump started foaming about three weeks ago. I cleaned it, treated with Captan and kept a fan on it. It seemed to dry nicely, so I didn't cut it loose. Whatever caused the stump to foam tracked out the vine causing it to shut down. Two years ago the same thing happened with the 1756 H/J we were growing. Danny Hester and Rick Jolivette encouraged me to cut the stump and two side vines on each side loose. It saved our season. It grew our largest pumpkin ever, even though we lost about one fourth of the plant. I say all this to share that my advice is to cut your stump loose if it is foaming before it tracks out the vine.
