: Are the leaves yellowing first and then dying in order of age. If so, it could be lack of nitrogen in the soil. If all the leaves are just dying, he should probably lay off on the Peters. Overfertilizing can do more harm than good. Get a soil tester at your local home center and adjust if needed.

: : I am posting for my father. We live in western NY. His leaves are curling upward, drying up and crumbling. He is desperate for help as he does not want to lose this plant. He is spraying with Bavo. Fertilizing with Peters' Plant food. Can any one help? Debbie

My pumkin plant was so beautful and healthy, but then the leaves started turning a white,gray color. Could it be the Fertilizer, Or maybe just water hitting the leaves?
