It never grew much larger....I actually caught one of the little buggers... a bloated white grub worm just a bit over two inches in length... I found out that you see signs of these vermin.... you take a straight pin and poke holes about every inch near the infestation.... thus impaling these Worms...
Aw man :( Sorry to hear about the worms. Those darn things drove me crazy last year and caused me to not try again this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have better luck as the season progresses.
The pumpkin is still lovely in anycase :)
Happy Haunting!
Nice Pumpkin Doctor! I too have fallen prey to the dreaded squash vine borer. I have a couple of ok pumpkins, but the vines are starting to rot at the base. The constant struggle between man and nature.
