Here is a photo of my pumpkins. I have 4 hills. They really seem to be running already. No blossoms yet, which I think is a good sign.

What time of year do you plant your pumpkins? I have been thinking about growing some next year.

I have 2 patches! These pics were taken last week of my babies! They have several more flowers on them now.

We planted them the first week in June.

Thanks alot

I just looked at mine and I have my first flower! I'm moving at the end of the month and hopefully they survive the move. I'll post pics later.

lookin' good! need to get started on mine soon

Do they need to be planted around other pumpkins to pollenate to get pumpkins? I wanted to spread mine out over different areas of my yard to keep them in places I won't have to worry about mowing but it will keep them far away from eachother.

I have some really good starts this year. Here's a pic from July 1st. I've struggled with growing pumpkins the last few years, so any advice would be appreciated. I'm keeping the slugs away and watering them every morning. I don't have any flowers yet, but I'm looking.

I can't wait for my sprouts to get big like yours! (We planted last Sunday in June).... We had our first sprout within a week... (below), and Now we have about 40 sprouts from 50 seeds.


It's exciting because every day I go out there they are Bigger and Bigger!
