Default Pumpkins

I've been growing the damned things for ages, but all of a sudden I seem to
have forgotten how to look after them!

All this talk of an early frost this week ... are the pumpkins which are
still growing going to be ok, or will they get frost damaged? The ones we
stored in the summerhouse got terrible frost damaged earlier this year and
then went mouldy. But is there a difference between the still growing fruit
and the stored fruit?

I can't believe we previously harvested before first frost unless first
frost isn't normally until late October!
