New stuff

I was just reading Bretts Oregon Update and came across some new stuff,
to me. (maybe next time you shouldn't post your notes?  giving away all
your secrets, and have me pester you about them) 
Brett or/and others could you please elaborate on the following: 

1) Waxed plastic and Tuck me under ? 
"used waxed plastic gunny bags for under the pumpkins for them to slide
on trying avoid the tuck me under problem."

2) Partial shade at first- then full sun?  
"partial shade produces larger leaves, then remove patial shade slowly =
more leaf surface area.  Magnesium is key (thanks Janet and Clyde)"

3)  Old white sheet for shade? 
 "Use white for shade structures, keeps pumpkin cooler, but
keep that pumpkin warm even into fall."

4) Move vines not move pumpkins?  I thought i read somewhere that you
move the pumpkins. 
"Do not more the pumpkin, move the vine!!!!!!! "

thanks for the information
