| Figure around 10 week after the plant was germinated. If you start seeing pumpkins any time now through early august you should be fine. |

| I hand pollinated my first female flower August 18th last year on a Connecticut Field. That one was 45#, and orange a couple weeks before Halloween. I think if you're seeing some now, you are supposed to shade them so they don't go orange too early. |

| Really all pumpkins should be shaded and not in sunlight for best results. The pumpkin does not need sunlight, the leaves do. |
