I get asked how we set up and protect our pumpkins. I don’t like to have a pumpkin exposed to the sun and make a shade cover out of styrofoam as soon as it is out of the growing tip. Thanks to Eric (pumpkin pal) I got Walmart clothespins to hold foam on bamboo stakes. Once we pollinate, we build a tarp shelter with a 6-9 tarp. The base is plywood with mill fabric on top.
