replant everything? I planted, corn, peanuts, cucumbers, peas, beans, pumpkins, and 4 kinds of melons about a week and a half ago but since then there have been several cooler nights and a frost.

How are the plants looking now? I don't know how frost tolerant any of those are but cooler nights shouldn't be a problem, and even a light frost may do some damage to the leaves but as long as it was just a light one they might all come back just fine.

The peas will be fine. If the other plants aren't out of the ground then you don't have a problem. If you had plants up when it frosted it's easy to tell if they got hit. They'll be all wilted and mushy and dead. If you aren't sure of what to look for put a piece of lettuce in the freezer,after it freezes take it out and thaw it. Any plant that has that texture got hit by the frost.
