milford, CT,

It's been 98 degrees here in Ct and I'd like to get a few more sets on my plants. I placed frozen water bottles around the female I pollinated today. Do I need to do it again tomorrow or is it alright to just shade the new pollination. Mark

This nu-B aint sure bout nothin, but have read several times this spring and early summer that pre cooling and post cooling is helping with pollination...2 or 3 day before and after???? What do I know???? Peace, Wayne

Keep it shaded tomarrow. Next time if you can cover your frozen water bottles and fruit with something like a ice cooler.
