How long they been out?, they will wilt some durin' the day, did you take them right from the indoors to out? maybe they gettin' a sunburn...give them a block from the direct sun and wind for a day or two, I have a fence around mine with a tarp attached so I can block out the wind, and for when I first sit it out.

You have to 'harden off' the plants first, if started in side. They have to get used to the ouside a little at a time. You first start out a few minutes a day and work up to out all day. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will be ok.  |

i hardened them off some... probally not long enough.. looks like they might be comming out of it.. i see where there is a new leaf growing.. i don't know what it is with me and pumpkins.. the very first year i had this garden here i grew some.. they were small but ok.. and one year i grew some white ones they were small too... then after that nothing.. i stopped planting them until i hooked up with you' pumpkin people' ;D i've got a shear curtain panel that i'm going to make a cover out of as soon as i figure out just how i'm gonna do it... i'm starting to get caught up so i can give the punkies the attention they deserve
