What one of my pumpkins gets to look at once it gets 10 days to 'too big for lawn chair'. The vent hole at top (one on each side) allows the sun heated air to spill out, and gives pretty good rain/watering protection and sun protection. Bottom is open all the way around too, aiding in ventilation. I have worked inside one of these in 110F and it's not frying the fruits.
My pumpkin sets range from 36 days to 6-8 days, I am aiming for six events over 44 days. From 3 Sept to 17 Oct... I will be very glad to finish the changeover to 'growing fruit'. 8 vines, 11 fruit-one blew-still have 10.
Two vines have two fruit, at this point they are staying that way. I have plenty of chances, plenty of wiggle room, and August to get through yet. Toes crossed, there's 1 to 2.5 months left.
