Just looked at the stems on my Brown/Cox seed cross(two pumpkins on one vine 125cir. and 94cir.) Both stems are split,one I can put a finger through it.
We just had two days of rain and cool weather. Can anyone tell me what caused this. Bad genetics,stem stress,or just bad luck.
I will try to fix one,clean with bleach 10% and caulk.
Second year grower.
Thanks.

IF the split isn't into the cavity, air and drying is your friend.
