here something new as I fight against those damn Vine borers..the stem on one of my pumpkins is oozing a clear fluid.....and no its not me as I check the measuring tape each day(sic humour)...what is this ...what causes it...and should i be worried....the pumpkin is still growing at this point although the damn Vine borers may have put a stop too any hopes ....

The stem ooze is normal with giant pumpkins. Nothing to worry about.
