good point.... i have found very little help from peeps. but let me tell
you what i know. most pumpkins have a certain length of time to produce
such as 90 days to maturity. my understanding is that most large pumpkin
varieties that you would be dealing with are about 120 days. this is
approximate, but generally accurate. most people i know plant after june
1st. i generally plant around june 15th to 18th but i want my pumpkins to
stay until october. good luck....
