Re: Cold weather
If the plants were 3 weeks old. They may well have been root bound which is
not a good thing with Giants.

Would love some opinions.
My wife is due next weekend, which is the traditional planting time in
western new york, yes, poor planning. Anyway, the early part of May was rather
warm, so I decided to hope for the best and plant my pumpkins earlier than I
have in past years. Then, it turned colder. The temps have been in the low
60''s during the day, and low 50's at night. I have kept it covered as
best I could, but during the days when I was at work, I had to leave it
uncovered, fearing overheating and such. I have managed to keep the soil temp in
the 60's.
Anyway, my question is this, it was about 3 weeks old when I planted, and
it has grown...but slowly. It is going to be finally back into the 70's this
week. Will it begin to grow when the warm weather hits, or will it take a
while to bounce back from my torturing it? I have other plants going under
lights inside, so I could just replant.
Thanks.
Ben
