Every late july, my plant leaves turn yellow, from the main stem out, any die. The main stem has some yellow mushy stuff and possibly some cracks on it too. Also the yellow vines seem to split open. I've only seen a few cucumber beetles, not a lot. Can anyone PLEASE help me. This is the 3rd year in a row for a lost crop.

See southern's post just above yours on this list. Look at Jeff352's grower diary link. Is this it? If so, you can tell be the tone of the thread that you need to move fast.

Good luck.

This yellow mushy stuff look like sawdust? If so it is what we pumpkin growers call frass. It comes from the enemy of most of us pumpkin growers, The Squash Vine Borer. Now if it is clear like jelly its a disease.
