Starting winter squash

Question
I live in Portland, OR. Is it too late to start winter squash?

Lee

Answer
Lee:

I am afraid that it is to late to start planting. Not sure about the Portland weather but I think that the frost will come and then your plants will be wiped out. Maybe you would want to try to plant in pots and keep them in a warm sunny place.

Best wishes.
