I had two plants this year, the one in my backyard had symptoms very similar to a mosaic virus. The latter growth had stunted leaves, rough edges, and blochy light and dark green. My pumpkin was shaped very strange and died. This being my second year, I didn't know it spreads so easily. My plant out front was basically done except a little trietery growth so 99% of the plant is great,but seems a few new leaves look blochy but not as bad as the other plant. I'm only growing in front next year, do I need to do anything special to avoid this disease next season? Never had it in my first growing season, so I wonder how it arrived. Thanks, Jim
