The war has begun! This morning I was checking out the pumpkin to make sure the was no damage from the repositioning and found on the underside of the stem a little bump. On closer examination it was a sticky pile, about 1/8 inch round, of post worm feeding stuff. The worm is now TERMINATED! I, also, applied a paste of powder insect killer that you can sprinkle on your plants to assist with the wound closure and sprayed the whole plant, including under all the leaves, with liquid insect killer. I think the damage is minimal, only about 1/16 of an inch deep by 1/8 inch x 1/4 inch. ---- I have to take extreme measures and decided that I will postpone vacation this year, buy one of those $1500 camera systems and apply for Family Medical Leave from work so I can care for my "baby". If I can't get the FMLA, I will have to consult a security agency! lol
