We went straight from winter to summer. The last half of February was warm. All of March has been even hotter. And, still no rain. We tied our record high temps the first four days of the month. Since then we have been unusually warm. The plastic covers on the hoop houses gave way to 22-percent shade cloth in late February. It was in the high-90s inside the hoop houses for a few days - even with the ends vented wide open. The plants have finally figured out it's warm outside and have been growing. I'm happy to finally see some secondaries and hope to be ready to pollinate some pumpkins in another week of so. It's late, but there isn't anything I can do about it. I need to water daily. I water each quadrant with about 60 gallons of water each day. Then the next day I come in and it's all dry. The meter registered a "4"
