About how long does it take from pollination to harvest, for varieties like connecticut field or howden, I am weeks behind due to birds stealing seedlings but I have some plants about to flower. I would like some for Halloween but I know that is probably a stretch. I am in Peoria Az. so we have high temps now, and do not get frost until December.

Fifty to ninety days from pollination. Heat is good. They mature more rapidly in a warmer environment.
