I have found svb's in my pumpkin before and ccb's munching on its skin. I spray the fruit and stem and especially the blossom nub everytime I spray. Especially when I spray fungisides- here we have high humidity and the corky nub tends to mold. Just be mindfull about touching the fruit while coated with chemicals. Of course, everyone uses fresh white goves while touching the fruits anyway right?

And make sure you wash the fruit well before the six year olds climb up the fruit and jumps up and down on it at the wieghoff.

I need to add on my previous post! I actually think I have aphids along with ants!!!! Is there some kind of spray that I can use that will kill aphids without harming the plants
