Wow. yesturday i noticed such a small transparent spot down close to the trunk and in just one day it had spread so bad that i had to disconnect and remove part of the vine. I have never done any surgery on a vine so i was unsure about it. But today i removed the whole section and unfortunately the pumpkin set downward on this plant of the 1068 papez has no trunk. I removed all infected plus more and sterilized the ends in hope that the rest of its burried nodes will continue the growth of my pumpkin which looks really great. This patch is really making me sad. All the work i put into it and to watch it go away overnight. constantly removeing sections to bacteria, triming away disinfecting and all. Horrible, just horrible.
