With the growing season fast approaching, here’s some tips to help get you going! Pumpkins start to germinate at soil temperatures between 65° and 70°F. Get a head start by sowing some of your pumpkin seeds a few days before your last expected frost date. Ten days later, when sprouts begin to appear, sow a second row about 6 inches from the first. If a late killing frost arrives, you can depend on the second crop. If a killing frost does not occur, pull out the second planting.
