I lifted my kin out of the greenhouse yesterday. I’m in the process of covering with blankets and I want to put a poly tarp cover over that. It’s currently 32 degrees out and going to get down to 28 tonight. Is sweating a concern? Stillwater is still 3 days away.

No its cool enough sweating wont hurt it or freeze if you cover it with a couple layers. Sweating might hurt you between now and the scale-don't let that Qtip character get in your head.

Thanks cojoe. Ya, that Qtip fella is a sneaky one. The way things are sounding he might come in 5th place... Lol

Keep it safe Kent..It is cold in North Dakota. You need the Stillwater pumpkin to be awarded one of those fancy GPC jackets. Going to be fun to watch how many state records go down on Saturday.

I use a couple of 9x12 light canvas paint tarps to cover mine and then over that put the plastic. The canvas cloth will keep it from sweating. I bought my canvas tarps at Harbor Freight
