Some of my pumpkins are turning yellow and brown, drying out from the leaves inward. I'll try to post a photo here if I can. Can anyone enlighten me about what to do?

I submitted a couple of photos to the gallery wizard. Hope someone can help me. I'm new at pumpkin growing. Last year was my first try. The pumpkins in question are not giants, just Snack Jack Hybrid, but I don't want to infect my other plants if it's contagious. Any help offered would be appreciated.

Hey Lynda are the leaves getting bumpy too! sort of mottling but I can't tell if the leaves are bumpy which could be mosaic virus...hope not...have there been any aphids or cuke beetles in there? Need an expert here! Wait till one of the big guys chimes in. Good Luck! Chuck

OK you guys check out the photo gallery, her plants have me stumped. It looks like herbecide overspray, or a chemical burn of some sort. None have been used in the area. :)

Went and looked all over for virus connections..there is about 8 varieties of Squash Leaf Curl virus...None that had pictures looked exactly like that! All had vectors by different bugs as primary vectors....We got any Bugs?

I haven't seen any bugs or evidence of bugs.
