Can I get some help here?
I've been trying to set or hand pollinate my pumpkins since June 26. I've
tried to set 5 Females and no luck yet. They get to the size of a tennis
ball
then just shrivel up? The heat in the last few days has been 100+ in New
Jersey. What the heck am I doing wrong. Help Me , I know I have a few weeks
left for primo pollination.

The fruit will seldom set when temps go above 90. Check the list for ideas
on keeping the fruit cool, ice, shade cloth etc. If heat is a problem down
there try and plant earlier to get some set before the heat sets in.
