when i cut he vines,water flowed out.
it was still pumping water into the pumpkin.
when i rolled number 3 over the bottom was cracked and rot water ozzed out! ill post a pic.
too much 0-0-60?
i used a hose drip system with 40 gallon tanks.
to that i would add a small handfull of 0-0-60.
they would then get a 40 to 80 gallon flush.
and i would only do this every 6th day.
when the leaves died back,i stopped.
was this too much too late?
ill look for grubs.

I do not know about you McP, but I'll not use that stuff again!! Two years in a row, splits occurred within ten days of spraying my plants with it. Perhaps, it was a coincidence.
