Step 5: Place White Sheet over Pumpkin

This essentially double layer system not only shades the pumpkin but also can help reduce the heat directly applied to the pumpkin which on 90F+ (32C+) days is beneficial to help reduce the chance the pumpkin internally “cooks”.

Since the double layer has a physical separation this can also help keep the sheet on the actual pumpkin from getting wet even when it rains.
