Thread: Growing Pumpkins this year!!!!

Tweet

Last year about 2 months before halloween I was thinking, man I wish I had grown some pumpkins of my own.

This year I thought about it right at the perfect time. I saw a pack of pumpkin seeds at the store and it says now is the time to plant them (im in south florida)

I have heard from people that you cant grow pumpkins in florida (there are no farms that grow them down here) so I thought I would ask in here if anyone else grows their own and if they have any tips to give. I planted them about two weeks ago and they have some nice leaves and the vines are about 3 or 4 inches tall already.


I planted some of the normal Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins and also the Big Max ones that get huge.

There is another thread going on here now about growing pumpkins. There are several of us tracking our progress on here. This is it:

sweet, thanks I just posted over there in the other thread.

I can't imagine that they would'nt grow at all down there, but in that warm of a climate you will probably have to water the poop out of them.hahaha, and may I say waaaa. we live in Oregon, they grow like mad, but it's wet and cold most of the year? good luck!
