WEll, hope for a hot day and make a little cooler out of a tomatoe cage.
Someone put this idea on here earlier and it works great. Just put
styrofoam all around it and then a cloth over the top of the cage with ice
in it. YOu can also put ice around the young pumpkin. This should cool of
the enviroment to get a set. Also, miricle grow has a 20-20-20 formula that
I used. It works great. I just used one tablespoon in a gallon of water
once a week. Recently I have used 2 tablespoons in 2 gallons of water and
that works just as well for my plant which has a 40 day old pumpkin on it
