Can you start pumpkins inside

Answer 1

Yes you can grow a pumpkin from the seeds of a purchased pumpkin as long as the seeds are ripe, dry, clean and have not been cooked.

Since commercial pumpkins are hybrids, the seed may not produce the same pumpkin variety as the original fruit you start with. They will, if successful, produce a lot of pumpkins. One seed becomes one pumpkin vine, and one vine can grow several pumpkins. If one pumpkin is left on the vine after harvest season, its seeds are likely to produce a great many vines, and pumpkins, the next season. If this is not wanted, care should be taken to ensure that all pumpkins are removed from the vine, including the little ones that may seem to be useless.

Answer 2

Yes. Read your seed package for instructions on when to plant. It should give timing for sowing the seeds directly in the garden or when to start them indoors.
