Title: Pumpkin leaves gone yellow?
Post by: Smileyk on July 19, 2007, 19:27:24
I have one pumpkin plant that has survived the slugs and snails and the leaves and stems have turned yellow.  Any idea why?

It isn't looking too healthy at the moment I can tell you. Odd really as previous attempts to grow pumpkins have been a huge success!

This might give you a clue.

The big plant is in a raised bed
The little yellow plant is in the lower, waterlogged spot.
Interesting that the little plant has the biggest pumpkin (1st Juy)
I am back home on Friday night on on Saturday will report further.
