looking forward to next year and trying to learn some more,
does any one treat or cover a leaf stem that has been cut like around a pumpking as it gets close to touching. Also any information of manure tea's? thanks

I put some captan on the leaves that are cut near the fruit but not on every pruned spot. I use captan near the fruit so rot does not set in there and spread to the stem. It seems to be too much work to treat EVERY cut during pruning.
