Who said to put the pumpkin in a styrafoam cooler?  Could it be the same
guy who said to put tanning loation on the pumpkin shell for UV
protection?

Your pumpkin will grow and grow with 4 or 5 pumpkins on your vine until
you deside which one or two pumpkins to stay with. There will be a time
which you will have to deside which pumpkin to choose. So...can you see
yourself with syrafoam coolers all over the place until you choose a
pumpkin.  Since you live by the Golden gate and I will assume it will
get
hot, I would guess you will need some type of shading to protect you 
growing pumpkin at the early stages. Chris was taking about using a
misting
system to keep cool, but the hell does he know. Wait..correction what
the
hell do I know...Maybe Chris can add on to this in a posting with some
guidance.
