Planting pumkins in late April?

Right now its 26C and yesterday was 23C and other day was 20C.

I was thinking because it's warm I thought I could plant some seeds. Hope it's not too early.

Good luck. I hope that our cold spell dies out before it gets to you.

It was 24*C 2 days ago and -12*C this morning. By the weekend we will need a jack Hammer to dig up the soil in Edmonton.

That cold! I remember -6C and it damaged many growth in plants and trees. I hope your cold days goes away so everyone is happy.
I put some pumpkins seeds in the ground and have my fingers crossed.

About the cold coming our way, the same system bringing the snow will give us an outbreak of severe thunderstorms with 20C and will cool
down to 14C and jump right back in the twenties. We hit a massive April high of 27C. I have planted trees in march and used a jack hammer
to put them in if there was ice back in the 1970's when -20C was common in late March to early April.
