What time of the year would it be best to grow pumpkins in my garden?

Most of the year, pumpkin plants need plenty of sunlight. They also need fertilizer. It’s important to keep them moist, especially if the soil is clay.

What would be the best month to start growing them then?
user
The best months for growing pumpkins are January through May.

Wouldn't January be too cold to start growing them?
user
I didn't say they would be growing them, I said that's when they should be started.  January through May is a good time to start seeds for pumpkins, since they will be ready to grow in the next 6 months.  The last frost of the year usually happens in early April.  During the rest of the year, the pumpkins will need to be grown indoors.

I don't have room to grow them inside.  They have to stay outside their whole growing cycle.
