     @NailBomb hard to say for sure. I don't think we'll see any frost at all for at least 6 weeks. Usually it starts to get a little nippy around mid to late october. Sometimes it waits until November.

     When does your growing season end? We're about 4 weeks away from frost.

     @NailBomb I *think* it's pumpkin, but it was a volunteer so it might be some other squash.
     
     6 weeks is probably worst case on frost. It's possible we still have 8 - 10 weeks, but it wouldn't be a total surprise to see frost mid october

     6 weeks?! That's a tight timeline. Is that a summer squash?

     I will be surprised if you make it, but I look forward to the pics.

     @NailBomb that's kind of what I was thinking too. it seems a little late but it's not costing me anything but a little water so I'll let it play out and see if it makes it.

     @NailBomb :thunk: I have a light weight plastic green house I might be able to fit around it if need be. Right now it's so dry that I'd be afraid to increase the day time heat anyway, but being prepared to try and extend the season might be good. Where it is growing is really sandy so I don't think the soil retains much moisture.

     I agree with the sentiment. If you have some wood laying around and a bit of vapor barrier, you could put up a portable cold frame for keeping them warm at night and then permanently place it over top once the weather starts getting sketchy. I used tubing from the roof a garbage tarp shed and it helped out lots in the spring with our 20⁰C days and 4⁰C nights.
