Growing Pumpkin

04 Jan 16 Katy (Australia - temperate climate)
I'm new to this gardening business - at least, I've never had much luck before. Possums or bugs have eaten everything I've tried to grow, but 2016 is my year to succeed in the garden! I would like to plant some pumpkin seeds. Am I too late to do this now? Do I need to wait until after next winter to get seedlings going, or will I still be OK to plant some in January in Sydney? TIA

If you get them in now Katy you should have some success. I'd probably go for the butternut or the golden nuggets. Good luck.
