Well this ain't good. Bacterial wilt once again in the patch. Slightly concerned that it could be Phytophthora. Time will tell to see if the leaves go back up when shade comes. I've dealt with bacterial wilt and it is not a death sentence but you just have to shade the plant and the leaves don't wilt as bad and the pumpkin continues to grow at least in my experience of dealing with it every year
