Something happened today that I didn't expect. Another freeze. Although the weather forecast did not suggest frosts. That's why I didn't want to cover the pumpkins. But at the last moment, late in the evening, I decided to hedge my bets and covered it. When I woke up in the morning, I found that all the grass was white with ice. When I opened the pumpkin, I found that even under cover, several tips of secondary shoots on each of the pumpkins and partially leaves were frozen. If he hadn't covered the season for me, it would have been over. It looks like this.
