Pumpkins are grown in Oklahoma for both fresh and processing markets and can be grown in all areas of the state, unlike other fruits and vegetables, including other members of the squash family. According to an article from the Oklahoma State University Extension Office, these crops prefer low humidity conditions due to lower incidence of fruit and foliar disease. In general, cucurbits such as squash and pumpkin perform best during warm weather, flowering and fruiting during the heat of summer, making June or July the best time for planting pumpkins.
