Marv,

Believe it or not, even a dermatologist (like me) often has to tend to
his pumpkins after dark.  My favorite time to do triple measures on my
pumpkins is 11:30pm -- so those pumpkins have gotten in all their
growing for the day.

Are you using those plug-in quartz halogen work lights on stands, or are
yours floodlights from the house?  If they are the former, I was
wondering how many lights and how many watts you've found necessary. 
I've been considering some of those myself.  Are they weather-proof, or
do you have to put them away each night after you use them?

Chris Wilbers
