Too late for pumpkins?

If I plant now I can expect them in November, right? Perfect for thanksgiving pies?

I'm in Austin.

I've been told that July 1st is the time to plant for Fall pumpkins. So, it's probably not too late. I tried a couple of times with little success. I get lots of vine and blooms, but no pumpkins. The cooler temperatures and slightly wetter weather may make this a good year to try again.

Thanks. Hoping to get them in the ground tonight - planted a newly sprouted pecan tree last night we've been babying in a pot and now it's outgrowing the pot. Hate planting trees mid-summer, but this one needs a little stress to make it root out (that, and root activator).

Need to do the same with a surprise (red?) oak sapling that popped up, too... but it can wait until after pumpkins. This has been the year for trees, including a crepe myrtle that's having babies everywhere.

So, how those pumpkins doing?
