It was a sad day in the patch today.14 of my 30 pumpkin plants were killed by a hard frost.It got down to 25 degrees here in southern Wisconsin.I had all the plants covered with either a waxpaper hot tent or a slitted row cover mini-greenhouse.The ones under the hot tents survived while the ones under the row covers all died.Luckily I have started some backups just in case.Oh well,there is nothing we can do about the weather.
