Re: Planting Early

There are some bad points if you plant early like heating the plant or covering it but if you live where  there is not much night time heat during the summer or if September is a cold month. this may the only way to break the 1000 LB mark.  Hopefully your 1000 plus pumpkin won't rot or loss to much weight by the  time of the weighoffs out of the 20 or so pumpkins that have reached a 1000 not one has been grown in zone 4 or less to my knowledge. best of luck this season.
