gourds will be fine. Its best not to gather them until after a frost. What shape are you growing? Also have you thought about throwing a sheet over the vegs to keep the frost off? It will work if its not a hard frost.

I do have a plastic tarp that I use, but, not that much left to cover...except one watermelon about 3 lbs...

I cover the herbs and rhubard for a while. But, I think we are due for a real cold one soon.


Gourds are just hanging around. Just the plain ole gourd shape..nothing exotic.

But next year..look out.. I will have time to go all out and will start more inside and get a jump.
