Is it too late to plant pumpkin seeds for Halloween/Thanksgiving? I'm in Michigan. |

Thank you ladies! I have to remember that for next year.
I'll pick them up at the farmers market instead. |

Way too late for Michigan. Try again next May (late) after frost danger is past.

Pumpkin is a very tender vegetable. The seeds do not germinate in cold soil, and the seedlings are injured by frost. Do not plant until all danger of frost has passed, and the soil has thoroughly warmed. Plant pumpkins for Halloween from late May in northern locations to early July in extremely southern sites. If pumpkins are planted too early, they may soften and rot before Halloween.

Unfortunately it is a packet I got for free somewhere so it has no instructions on it whatsoever - just Pumpkins and a picture. |

I think so. How many days to germination does it say on your packet of seeds? It also should say how many days until fruit appears.
