Hi Duncan, I live in Anchorage, Alaska. Would you know of any books that give details on growing pumpkins in zone 3? I started my seeds indoors, and they are now outside on small mounds. They are about ten inches tall and are starting to get vines maybe three to four inches long. Are they where they need to be to produce fruit by early September? If not is there anything I can do to help them? I have put IRT cloth over the mounds, but that's all. I have considered building a cold frame around them but I just don't know how big they should be, and I don't want to fix something that might not be broken!!!! Thanks- Peg:)
