Is this pumpkin a goner?

Went to rotate this pumpkin-the largest of the bunch-today and discovered a couple holes and two slugs on the bottom.
Pulled it out and set it in the sun. Do you think it will scab over or should we eat it tomorrow?


Going to pick up some coffee grounds to scatter around the other growing pumpkins. Any suggestions for additional deterrents?

Are your pumpkins sat on old tiles or similar? As that actually looks more like physical damage that the slugs are taking advantage of..
You can swab it with an antiseptic wipe to slow the progress of decay a bit, but that pumpkin won’t store so eat fairly quickly.
But since a freebie it will be enjoyable no matter what!
