When do you start shading the pumpkin? |

I shade them when they get above the leaves. I use a sheet of white fabric that I get from WalMart at the $1 a yard rack. If it looks like it will be a good one, I put up a tarp to also direct water away from the pumpkin to prevent any fungus/rot problem. |
