HELP PLEASE
I live in QC,Ca about 15k north of Trois-Rivières. Last night we had a
visit from jack frost. My pumpkin is OK (it was covered) but my plant is
almost totally destroyed. Our "official" weigh-off is on Oct. 2.
Being new in this sport (not to mention new in gardening in general), I
don't know what to do. Should I leave it on and hope the plant will last a bit
longer? Should I remove it? If I remove it how do I keep it?
My pumpkin's no monster but it's my one and only, and I think that my
chances of winning as of now are decent.Friendly neighboorhood comp, but I
have to face the others for a full year before I get revenge, so I any advice
I get will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance (and sorry for the long note)

Leave it on the vine. If your going to have another frost cover the vine back
from the Pumpkin to where it comes out of the ground. The Pumpkin may grow
for several days after the leaves are dead running on reserves.
