http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=208562 This is a pic of the hole in The Fridge. Its dry to the touch but I'm a little concerned about the color and spotting in the area. I currently treat with 3% peroxide, 10% bleach, sulfur and fan. What are my options? What would you do? 24 days to keep it alive.

gently probe it with a broom straw to verify the hole doesn't go into the seed cavity.Is it still growing-if yes that's a good sighn.

If it's dry, keep it dry and don't fuss with it.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

Try not to laugh sparcmat, but this worked last year on a field pumpkin I was particulary fond of: I stuck a cork in the hole after I pared the cork down to fit, then sealed it with sulfer.....It went through to harvest time. if it's been growing right along hopefully it will keep doing so!!

Thanks for the opinions folks. I really dont want to do surgery unless its absolutely necessary.
