Looks hot and steamy inside the greenhouse, I want the pumpkin to feel like it is sitting in Don Youngs yard on a sweltering hot steamy Iowa July afternoon. It's not ideal conditions for the leaves as they can be under duress but it is a trade off I am willing to except for more pumpkin grown as warmth and nutrients = growth. From this photo it might look like an ideal growing day if it weren't for the big Southerly wind blowing off Cook Inlet today. Temps only got to the low 60s but in the greenhouse it was in the low 90s.
