We live at Ballarat, Vic. How long do QLD Grey pumpkins take to flower after planting? We have heaps of vines but no sign of flowers.

Hi Allan I am for Colac and have found that the large pumpkins (QLD Gery and Jarrahdale) need to be pollinated and set fruit before the hot summer kicks in otherwise the pumpkin doesn't ripen to it's full flavour.
