My pumpkins and lettuces

Did you harden them off before you planted them out side? it has been very cold the last couple of nights. Planting them stright from a hot greenhouse into frosty nights could have been quite a shock to them. Hopefully they may recover.

Normally you take your plants out of the green house then place them in a cold frame which is slightly cooler then the green house but slightly warmer then outside for around a week, then dependant on the weather from the coldframe to its planting station outside. Sometimes I take plants from the coldframe and instead of straight outside, I may let them stand in a sheltered part of the garden for two or three days before finally planting them outside. Hopefully they may recover so all may not be lost.
