Accidentally dropped a 5-gallon bucket on my best and biggest pumpkin. Caused two scrapes on the pumpkin. Maybe just a few millimeters deep, but about 2 inches x 2 inches. Any hints on treating it, other than Captan and should there be any long-term problem????

The scar will grow with the pumpkin and get bigger and bigger, not much you can do. There is no plastic surgery yet developed for pumpkins. Treat it with sulpher or Captan and keep it dry.

You will be forgiven only if that bucket was full of tea or other goodness for the total including deweeding. :)
