Hi there I planted pumpkin about a month or 2 ago and there's 3 medium sized pumpkins on the plants but I had to removed 2 already due to rotting and I also found worms inside the rot. Can you tell me what the problem is and what can I do to get rid of it? I will really appreciate it if you can help.
