HOW DEEP ARE THE CUTS?If they don't enter the cavity of the pumpkin i think they will scar over.Put some captan on the cuts and see what happens..

Thanks. How do I apply it?

You can do a dust (If the scars are still moist) or you can do a paste of a few drops of water mixed with some captain. Everything should be fine,

Good luck!

Thanks! I hope they make it. For northern Minnesota I'm hoping for 100- 250lbs. Plus I'm a rookie

Put a little fence, wind barrier fabric around it after the captan. Captan is one of the worse poisons you can use in the garden. Then take the little star wars toy away lmao

Wettable sulphur works good too. Safer and cheaper.
