If you just lost a pumpkin to a split, you're not alone. Call the hotline and vent if you need to:

360-610-7563

Help is just a phone call away.

Perhaps more growers today, majority on social media posting and all the extreme weather events, swings in temperatures, heavy rains, humidity... reasons why hearing more about splits, especially diseases what I am noticing.

Porkchop there is still a chance! That is a small crack. I don't want to mislead you. I have never seen a crack heal. But I think it might be possible. Len Stellpflug thought it was.
