GreenlyWhen to plant pumpkin in Santiago
In Santiago, pumpkin: sow seedlings around 27 July for the greenhouse and around 17 August for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 2 September; plant out into open ground around 23 September.
Last spring frost around 9 August, first autumn frost around 18 June. Frost-free days: 313 days.
The dates follow the Greenly calendar: open ground a week after the last frost once the soil is warm enough for the crop, frost-hardy crops three weeks before it, an unheated greenhouse three weeks earlier, seedlings sown so they are ready on the day. In a cold year allow a week or two more.
