my grandpa used to do it with cantaloupes, but I doubt whether it helped much. I use a funnel with a hose on it and cut a hole in the vine just before the pumpkin, using a gallon a day of milk straight from the cow, now you know my secret you're welcome to use it!

I just traded one of my smaller pumpkins to a guy for 6 truck loads (even more if I need it) of aged manure and he asked the same question "so did you inject milk in it" I stopped him right there with a big NO but I offered to tech him next year and he said he would take all the info he could get "I figure that's a good step" to admit that you might not no everything is hard for some people especially when it's some one half there age.....lol

Milk is for babies.
