i constructed a shade structure for my pumpkin on plant 2 today. the leaves just aren't large enough to block the sun from reaching the pumpkin. i used an old gridle used for cooking over a campfire. i screwed each of its legs down to their own 6x6 chunk to give it height and a strong support to anchor it down. i tied a feed sack over the top of the gridle to block the sun. the structure seems to work, blocking the sun and allowing air to flow to the pumpkin.
