Hello Everyone,

It's been a very trying season so far battling cucumber beetles which have caused me great greif. I went out for my morning check in and noticed that something isn't right. My pumpkin looks like it is starting to shrivel. It's been nice and tight, growing as it should and suddenly this. I've also noticed something not right with the leaves. Please see the photo link attached and any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

that's a virus, likely mosaic. if you have other plants pull this one. if you don't I would still pull it so you don't build up more of this in your area. you will really have to step up pest control next year and start even before you see a bug. Sorry for your loss.

Bug be the devil this year for me, too! Clean out anything that is not good and healthy, get an early start on pest control. I start in the fall with granules and will double down on them this year!
