This is my first year growing AG's and I have a pumpkin measuring OTT 354". The past few days it's been really wet and raining. I noticed something eating about 1/16th deep and about as round as a quater in 2 spots, low next to the ground. This is the area where the pumpkin is sapping. I think it's a slug, but I didn't think they would go across the sand around the pumpkin. I washed the area with bleach and painted on daconil. I need it solid for 2 more weeks until the weigh off.
