Gordon,
You answered your own question. My first year growing was 96 and I
didn't get a fruit set until mid August, I had no idea of what I was
doing and hadn't yet learned of this list and I still ended up with a
142 lb. pumpkin by halloween. So yes there is hope. If the warmer
weather they are predicting for us arrives it may speed up the
development a little bit. Good luck.
