Patrick,
	 YOu want to plant at the hightest point any ways because the ground
warms up, and stays warmer , through out the entire year on the higher
parts of your garden. 
	On page 52 of the Pumpkin growers handbook.. (commonly known as Don
Langevin's "How to Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins", you will find that
in your backyards microclimate, the low lyng areas will always be the
backyards coldest spot. They recieve the last frost in spring, and the
first frost in the fall. Read the rest for yourself, as if you are
trying to do this seriously, this book removes alot of the "Q's & A's"
from your mind.
