O/T Pumpkin Crop

luv2wrench · Jun 20, 2012

Is it too late to plant pumpkins from seed? I live in Central Nebraska and would like to plant some jack be littles (95 days) and large pumpkins (110 days).

Is it too late?

I know its a dumb question. Gunna till up a patch with the IH 300. Behind on garden. been fixing toooooo much.

You kinda answered your own question. 95/110 days generally means from germination of seed to maturity. When do you generally have first frost? That's the only concern. If the pumpkins are mature, frost won't hurt the fruit, but it will affect the vine. Like you said, what the heck, if you have available space, give it a shot! Good luck.
