My leafs are shrivled around the edges does anyone know what would be wrong? and what I can do to help them.
Seams like they do this when I bury the vines. I have looked at other diarys and It doesn't seem to bother anyone's elses plants. they look like they are missing something but I don't know what, I have never grown pumpkins this size before so I have no Idea what is wrong.
I have pics of them on my diary June 22nd, If needed I could e-mail someone pics or close up's of them for a better look.

Thanks Randytcat

Randy,
Entry # 91 looks like a leaf edge fert. burn caused by salts. High salt: Leaves appear dull and leathery. A narrow yellow border develops around the leaf margin.

Entry # 93 looks like chemical burn. Hopefully Steve can confirm this.

Randy,

Take a look at my diary and you will see similar problems on my leaves. Everyone has indicated that mine is fert. burn. I OD'd on Ca nitrate 7 days ago and mine are still recovering. Unfortunately, on the chat last night, it was also suggested that it might be oxygen deprivation caused by overwatering. Well, my clay does hold water very well and I must mist in AZ to have plants even survive.

Just some more help there friend.

I just posted a picture of a leaf that is Nitrogen damaged. Keep in mind this image is taken only 24 hours after application. Within 2 days, this leaf was necrotic (turning brown & crispy).
