Happy Independence Day everyone! I’m celebrating by giving my basal crowns (back in Kansas where I grew up we would have called them stumps) some much needed attention. I had all sorts of new vines starting to grow & broken old leaves starting to rot. I cut them all off & did one of my favorite pumpkin growing jobs: I sprayed the places where I cut them off the vine with Hydrogen Peroxide. It wasn’t your household 3% solution either. It was 34%-spray it on the bad spot & watch it foam up hydrogen peroxide! It was almost as much fun as putting salt on a slug. Then I put a fan on the cleaned up wounds. In few hours everything will be dry & ready for the next three months.
