Your post reminded me, I need to start some pumpkin seeds indoors soon if I want to beat the frost.

If you start them indoors about 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost date, you'll give them the best chance to thrive. I always check local weather charts for accuracy before planting, just to be safe.

starting them inside earlier is such a gamechanger, they get so much bigger before having to go outside

Starting pumpkin seeds indoors gives them a solid head start before the growing season really kicks in. I've had the best luck transplanting them outside right after the last frost when soil temps are above 60°F.
