This shows my Outdoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 which has been prepared for the season. The umbrella has been up since before it was pollinated, but what I have put the time into recently is the under pumpkin protection.

While the sand and mill fabric are visible there has been special care taken to what is below what is visible in addition to ensuring the proper position of the pumpkin. Note the mill fabric is not fabric, but is actually a plastic belting material that allows water to pass through but is tough enough to prevent mice from eating through.
