“Pumpkin seeds can be started indoors in early May,” Erwin Goldstein wrote in his column for the Norwich Bulletin. “Or we can plant them outdoors in late May.”
In areas where the ground is still cold in late May, he recommends warming the soil first by placing black plastic over the bed for a few days.
And, if you live in an area where woodchucks also live – watch out for them! Woodchucks “enjoy pumpkins,” he says.
