<< I am a little stumped today. You all talk about temps in the 90's as
bad. We here in sunny california had days of 106. 106, and then 97 one
week. Those were also the days my fruit grew the most. Now the temp went
down to 92 and 85 the last 2 days and growth went way down. I want the high
temps!!!!!!!!!!!

P.M.,
Be careful.....if you wish for 106 degree temps......you just might get
them. Temperatures that high are extremely bad for a pumpkin. Fruit will
either abort or stop growing and turn orange. You may have seen a momentary
bump in growth, but if the 106's continue, your pumpkin won't.
