Dear Pat
in Southwest Ontario we experience that the pumpkins AG do their growth
95% plus in a 60 day period. If you speak to Joel Holland he will tell you
that they have their growth occur in a 90 day period. Also I personnally
have experienced growth of as high as 35 to 40 pounds per day versus Joel
Holland is pleased to reach 25 pounds per day.
I Assumed you know Joel grows in the pacific northwest. I hope this is
some help. I expect your area will be different then both of these. Keep in
mind our hot days in Ontario will reach 95 degrees. Our opptimum growth
occurs with 85 degrees during the day and 75 degree nights.Joel seldom I
believe reaches in the 80's with cooler nights then what we experience.
