The weatherman said last night the overnight temp would drop to 38-39 degrees. We put the misters on the vines in the hope of keeping any frost at bay. I've just come back from the garden (7:30 am), and the temperature was 36 degrees. Anywhere the water fell looks fine, the majority of the leaves, however, are frozen solid. By noon, it'll be a sorry looking sight. I don't know if the remaining pumpkins will continue to grow as long as the vines aren't blackened, just the leaves, or not. Time will tell. Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun nights are predicted to be in the 30's again. I'd say the vines are probably cooked! Still and all, we still have pumpkins to take to Boise City. Unless light freezing will destroy the pumpkins, too.
