beating the heat


It gets over 100 degrees where I live.  I have never grown Atlantic Giants in
this climate before.  What is the best way to keep my pumpkin from cooking?
It is hard to give it total shade because it is also very windy here and I
have to be careful what I put up because it may do more damage than it is
worth.  I have a sun screen made of layers of cheesecloth, but I doubt that
will be enough.  How about misting?  Can they take being wet?  Any thoughts
will be appreciated.
