I've just been thinking of how the frost will be improving my sprouts, and
realised I've left the pumpkins out in the cold.
Will it be impossible to store them now if they're frost damaged?

I don't think frost damages pumpkins. In fact, wasn't there an old
country western song?
Frost on the puuumpkin,
Mud on the plough.
I'm just a buuumpkin,
She's just a cow...
OK, I made up the last 2 lines.

There's only one way to find out.

I grew 4 pumpkin plants this year and limited each plants to one fruit. The
3 that have turned a nice yellow have been lifted, but all 4 are quite
small, probably 1/3rd the weight of the parent. These were seed saved from a
monster purchased from Morrisons last October. Puzzling as the soil is good
and they were fed 3 times on Growmore.

The trade reports this year say that pumpkins are smaller than normmal
due to the weather.
