check out www.vegetablegardener.com/item/3268/frost-and-the-fall-garden
for a great chart of frost-hardiness in your vegetable garden. The only thing i disagree with on this chart is that they have called winter squash very frost hardy, and i would highly suggest getting your winter squash out before a good hard frost. The freezing temperatures can compromise the skin and shorten its storage life considerably.
I also recommend looking at the "print" version: it comes up as a nicely formatted pdf that makes a good reference. This is posted on the Garden Corner board outside the library!
