hey everyone,

I lost a lot of my garden due to storms(strong... things broken at base of plant)

a few things have made it and among them are about 3 huge pumpkins.:)

We have had so much rain that Im afraid they will rot on the side that
is touching the ground.:(

Is there anything I could put under them that will prevent rot. I probably
need something that will drain.:confused::confused:????

Can anyone help?????:):confused::(

TIA

I've seen people put straw under them or even a board so they don't touch the wet ground.
