Is this a good idea? My nights are humid with dew and fog nearly every night. Do I need to keep the fruit dry at night? Will it benefit from having some moisture on it?

Many Thanks;

Not necessary at this point. I usually do not cover my fruits until they get to be above the leaves and I only cover to prevent the sun from hardening the skin.

I am a bit above the leaves, taping 200 lbs. Does that make a difference?

Thanks Again;

Jamie build that shade stucture over fruit if the suns hitting it, and i like to keep my pumpkins dry, because i think fungus and rot need moisture
