First of all don’t panic.
On my second inspection of the day on the 2020 I found a soft spot on the stem. As I pushed my finger into the soft spot about a cup of mushy water poured out.
After making the hole bigger so that I could clean it out it got plenty of strong alcohol. This was followed by our air hose to gently try and dry it out.
On the pumpkin side of the stem it felt fairly good so as long as it dries it should be fine.
Well at least I’ve found the reason for it’s slow growth and we will be planting this amazing seed next year
Perhaps I should be drinking the alcohol. It’s going to be a long 25 days until they are all weighed. We are thinking about taking one to Germany but it’s going to be difficult with the costs.
