While we were expecting the worst in terms of worms devouring our pumpkin we did not see this coming. Our pumpkin EXPLODED over night!!!! I went to check on it this morning and found our dear pumpkin cracked open. Who knew this was even possible. After looking online, I found that this does happen occasionally. Most likely weather related, over-watering or over-fertilizing...... who knows.
I can't believe it wasn't the worms that ended up killing it.
I guess there's always next year..... sigh......

Tag: Pumpkin bugs?
I need help with this.
I just noticed that the leaves are not looking so good. At first I thought it was just an old leaf but then I lifted the dead part of the leaf and there were about 5-10 of these bugs on the leaf. They have wings and kind of look like little tiny wasps.
Are they eating my pumpkin? If so how do I get rid of them. HELP!
There is a photo album of the bugs and the damage.

I am just delighted and amazed that my pumpkin actually is starting to look
like a real pumpkin. 3 days ago it was still part of the flower and
today it was on the ground, I couldn't believe it. This thing grows SO
fast. I love it.
