Complete Set-Up
Here is the full system put in action. With the under pumpkin protection this will provide an even surface for the pumpkin to grow on and also makes it easy to move the pumpkin to ensure proper positioning as it grows. The pumpkin itself is covered with a simple white sheet to shade it from the sun. I do try and keep the leaf that comes out of the stem to vine juncture as this helps shade the pumpkin, holds the sheet and provides a short distance for newly formed sugars to travel to the ever growing storage organ.
Now, it is a waiting game to see how long it will take for the pumpkin to start to touch the umbrella.
