Pumpkins Flowering in Winter
It’s the depths of winter in Brisbane, getting as low as 5 degrees at night. Yet the pumpkin vine I planted last November is still alive and has only now decided to start producing female flowers and fruit, after nothing but leaves all summer. Has anyone else in Brisbane had pumpkins behaving strangely this year?

My pumpkin vines seem to be flowering almost constantly. I’ve heard that they don’t really die off here in Brisbane, since we don’t really get frosts. My best harvest was in Autumn though.

I live in Ipswich and have had the same experience.
