Early frost last night, lost my pumpkin

It only had one little tiny pumpkin (got it planted late), but now the plant is killed, all the leaves have died. :(

I don't normally keep track of the weather forecast, guess if I am going to try and grow things I will have to start!

Bad luck, but it did better than mine which carked it quite some while ago!

We've had ground frost at least three times already this month - lost some pumpkins, too, but they weren't doing much anyway with all that cold weather over summer.
