HOT & DRY! Mid 90's today and for the next few days. I have my drip irrigation running but the high temps and the low humidity are wilting the plants. I set up old seed corn signs as shade for my vine tips and where my pumpkins have been pollinated. At 1:00 pm today at my 980 Klinker it was 92 degrees in the shade and 110 on the ground in the sun just outside the tip of the Klinker. This is the plant that the main vine tip quit growing 2 weeks ago. I trained a secondary and now there is a female flower showing in the vine tip. I am crossing my fingers! The immature leaves on the secondary vines, towards the tips, are burning up.
