Not sure about the pumpkins, I do grow squash and cukes though and I direct sow seed on the start date (9/1), your current ones might be too leggy by then. I start tomatoes under lights 6 weeks prior to set, at 3 weeks they go outside in filtered shade for another 3 weeks and then into their final containers and into the garden. Double that for peppers, 6 weeks inside and 6 weeks outside before final set.

Yeah, the pumpkins might be a problem. My little guy is determined he wants to grow them to sell for Halloween, so they had to be started early enough to mature by then. But it is too hot and wet for them outside right now, so we decided to try starting them inside with the rest of the seeds. But they grow so fast!

Anyway, It sounds like the rest of my seeds are ready to start hardening off now for 9/1 planting, but they don't have true leaves yet. I may wait for the true leaves before I move them outside and delay the planting for a week or two.

Well, the pumpkins most likely will be a wash. Just be careful with the others to NOT give them too much sun for the first few days.
