I'm going to suggest something different than the common thing that
comes to mind... I generally have 90's all summer with a few 100's
mixed in. No misting... The key is getting the vines adequately
buried, and letting those vines produce more roots.
There seem to be periods of the season where the plant seems more
suseptible to hot temps. But once the plant is mature and all the
vines are buried, hot temps don't seem to faze it. Just keep up on
the irrigation.
I would agree. Letting the vines root would help a lot too.
