I'm just wondering when everybody starts their winter squash? My local gardening book says to plant out in August I know they usually take about 100 days to mature so that won't give them enough time to mature before it freezes. I have mine started but not planted out yet. It seems ironic to be thinking about a freeze when the temps have been averaging 105*. I'm growingThai Large Pumpkin, Jaune Gros De Paris, Connecticut Field, Galeux D'Eysines, and Thai Kang Kob Pumpkin. Last year I planted in June but an August heat wave took them out (I was away for 2 weeks and they didn't get enough water). I replanted in August and a freeze took them out. Hoping for better luck this year.
