List,
Our pumpkins are covered with a thick layer of fine ash from a nearby forest
fire. While this should improve the soil (eventually), is there anything we
can do to protect our pumpkins NOW.
The fire is still ongoing, the wind still blowing (this is NOT a
Peter-Paul-Mary song but the real thing).
Thanks if anyone has any useful tips for such a situation.

Turn on the overhead sprinklers and wash the stuff off. I doubt that it will
hurt the plants even if left in place.
