icing pumpkins


Hello Fellow Growers, While going through the archives I've heard mention of icing  pumpkins. Can anyone tell me the theory on this? What exactly does it do? Obviously it cools it but what exactly does this accomplish? Does it help to set it? Does it keep it from developing splits or cracks in very hot weather? What temps should this be done at? Is it really neccesary?  Just wondering. Pauline
