RE: More Info
I start my pumpkin in Santa Rosa the first of May. A pumpkin grows for 150
days. That brings it to completion about the third week in September. I
want my pumpkin ready for the Harvest Fair in Sonoma County. A lot can
happen to a pumpkin lying in the field. Planting early will not have any
impact on how long a pumpkin will grow.

Subject: More Info
I live on West Lincoln in Napa. I was wondering what time everyone plants
in
Napa. I read somewhere that some people plant indoors about a week before
the
last frost. I called the Farm Bureau and they told me the last expected
frost
day for Napa was March 1st and it was accurate about 75% of the time. But it
sounds like most people around here plant much later than that, like late
April or early May. Do you know the reason for this? Or did I just get some
bad information from the Farm Bureau?
Thanks,
Gary Faulk
