Scott,
I am just across the sound in Ct. I didn't get as mush rain as you did but
the temps are a bit lower. My pumpkins have done the same as yours. I
think they are cold(my night time temps have been around 45). I think we
are stuck with much slower growth unless there is a long stretch of much
warmer weather. I have stopped measuring mine every day, its to depressing.
