on the package of sulfer powder it says not to use on curcubine plants.
as i want to put out pumpkin plants next year is it safe to put it down
now and then plant in spring. what effeect would it have on a pumpkin
plant?

Sulfur is not safe to use for mildew control on cucurbits (especially during
summer when temperatures are high). If you are putting the sulfur on the
soil in the fall (presumably to lower the pH) or on a current crop that
needs treatment, well, that's an entirely different thing, and, unless you
apply so much that you swing the soil pH into acidic territory, the
pumpkins next year will be fine.
