Hi, I found this website while searching for an answer to a question I have. I do not grow pumpkins but am desperate for some help . I have had a pumpkin on my porch for about two weeks- a raccoon has attacked it and inside the area that he clawed I can see a clear gooey substance. I am just concerned about this being saliva or if its something that pumpkins leak like sap.

Same thing happened when a possum attacked my kin this year. It's just how the pumpkin heals itself.. A bit like when you scrape your knee and it forms a scab.

You are in deep trouble now once you find this web site. Next week you will be asking for some seed. The week after about soil testing. Then how to get in touch with Tom P at Extreme Pumpkin Store (top right of home page.) Before long you will be asking questions like,"what do you mean I should cover my pumpkins when the nights get colder"? We are nothing more than a bunch of looney bins here with pumpkin juice running thru our veins. But what a loveable group we are.
