Re: sun v. shade
I agree with Bob if the temperatures are really warm 50% shade during the
hot days and mist will help keep your leaves from burning. Once the
leaves are mature remove the shade cloth and mist the plant when the
temps get into the upper 80's. Once you have fruit set be sure and put a
white sheet over the pumpkin to keep cool.
