Curing pumpkins when it's 90-100 degrees outside

8 years ago

I just harvested a sizeable crop of pumpkins, butternut squash, and spaghetti squash. Here in Redding, CA, we are still topping out at 100 degrees some days. I've read that 80-85 is the preferred temperature for curing. Is it OK to cure them out in this heat? (Sun or shade?) Or would it be better to move inside the house where we keep the house around 77 degrees?
