Here are my current shade structures for my two best pumpkins. I have placed the tarp over a couple of supports and will unfold it as the pumpkin grows--it is stapled on. I could unfold the whole tarp and just staple it, but why cover unnecessary leaves and prevent photosynthesis. I will extend the tarp as the pumpkin grows. The one on the main gets an umbrella zap-straped to a 2X4. I will improve that one as time creates a necessity. The other little ones are under leaves and get no special attention until they have proven themselves. Most secondaries have been dead-headed. The plant is pretty much as large as it will get (about 25 X 25 feet)
