Does anyone know how long pumpkins take to grow? I planted 8 seeds back in the spring, and they grew into big healthy looking plants with lots of flowers, but no pumpkins yet. Since its September now, shouldn't there be pumpkins by now??

I didn't grow pumpkins this year, but I have a friend who has. My friends pumpkins are so huge and has so many she is giving them away, so I think you should have more than just flowers especially by now.
Just a side note, I wonder if your flowers were pollinated enough or you may have just male flowers.
Looks like I will be buying a pumpkin for Halloween this year!
Pumpkin needs a lots of food and long time to grow. Pumpkin also need full sun for well growing.
Most pumpkin varieties take between 85 - 125 days to mature. Most of the heirloom and larger varieties are on the longer end of the spectrum. You can find the number of days to maturity in your seed packet that you purchased.
