<< Hi All,
When do you need to start shading your fruit? Is it ever too late to
start... And what type of set ups do you use? Thanks

I have found the easiest and best shade is made by PVC hoop structures. Pound
four 2 ft pieces of rebar into the ground around the pumpkin and then slide
2-10 ft. lengths of small diameter PVC piping over the rebar to form hoops.
Cover hoops with tarps, sheeting or what have you. Voila. Cheap, instant and
attractive.
