cooler nights


We are getting some cooler nights now.  Each pumpkin has a support structure
for 
an overhead tarp and I have "curtains" also made of cut up tarps that
wrap 
around the supports.  I put a blanket on each pumpkin with the biggest
one also 
getting a comforter.  I have found that the curtain systems
significantly helps 
with reducing moisture in the enclosures and keeping the
blankets dry for the 
most part. I have read about growers putting a light in
the enclosures to add 
some heat.  Anyone do that?  I need to eek out what I
can on weight since my 
leaves have gone to hell.
