With these drought conditions, what is the best method, time of day to water them and how much water do they need per day with these high 90 degress and above.

Thank you

Water pumpkins regularly throughout the growing season. Keep the pumpkin plants evenly moist and water deeply during extended dry periods. Pumpkins can tolerate short periods of hot and dry weather fairly well. To prevent mildew, water in the morning and water at the base of the plant not the foliage.
