Hey list. I live in massachusetts. My plants look really good. Green, Healthy, and they look like they are going to have flowers. (someday soon i hope)  Problem............NO PUMPKIN YET!!!! Does anyone live in New England and have the same problem? Is this going to mean no big one this year? what do you guys think.


I have been growing Giant Pumpkins here since 1978 (Not always AG's).  This is the latest setting I have ever had.  My first set was on July 10 which is the last date I can reliably grow one in this low spot.  This was planted April 16th.  Hopefully we have a late frost.
