| My pumpkin plants are starting to have brown spots and wilting away at the edges. I'm worried an insect or disease has taken over. Before taking this picture I sprayed off some cob/spider web looking things off a couple of the leaves. If this does need treatment I would prefer a natural or organic treatment method however any advice is appreciated. |

| Here is a shot of another bigger one of the plants. Sorry I don't know how to combine pictures in one post |

| They look normal to me. All squash does that, the older leaves yellow and die as the plant continues to vine out to newer and greater things. It's the main/new growth to care about and yours look healthy and fine. If you're referring to those small "dead spots" on the leaves, my cucumbers do that every year, and probably some of my zucchini too. I've never known what it was, but it's never harmed production and the overall plant thrives. |

| Thanks for the reply Loribee2! I found out I had spider mites so I sprayed some neem oil on those plants and all the other plants in my garden. Hopefully that is the end of the issue. |
