 Hi to all of you in Pumkin Land!
 We grow pumpkins here in lower Michigan for our U-Pick patch to which we
give
 horse pulled wagon rides.
 My question is on frost-How much frost can the Conneticut Field  Pumpkins
 with-stand?  We have had two nights of frost, which didn't damage many
 pumpkins, but now the temp. is to go in the 20's, and we were scheduled to
be
 open one more week-end.   Any imput would be appreciated.

A good hardened off one can stand lower 20's but not much more.  I would
consider putting them in a pile and covering them with a blanket at night and
let them get sun during the day.
