RE: White Milky Appearance on Leaves

It looks like sun scald/sunburn to me.  Seedlings started indoors often suffer temporarily when set outside.  There does not appear to be any damage on the first true leaves, and I wouldn't worry about it.

Subject: White Milky Appearance on Leaves

I have 6 new pumpkin plants that have been in the ground 9 days here in New England.  They all have a white milky look to the leaves.  A few days ago they had small black spots.  I have only watered them, no fertilizer or pesticide.  Any ideas on what this is and what I should do?  I've posted 3 pictures @ this url: http://home.maine.rr.com/cubscout/pumpkintemp.htm
 Thanks,
