Ep. 14 - Pumpkins are Gaining Size!! {It's Go Time!}

The giant pumpkins are starting to grow more quickly! Each day they are noticeably bigger, which is the point of the season when things start to get fun. The pumpkin on the 2501 Bernstrom plant has some injuries, which are hopefully healing up fine. The 1643 New plant is really struggling and I am close to giving up on that plant. Hoping with the dry weather in the forecast, I still might be able to save the plant and get a pumpkin out of that patch.
A reminder that I have a giant pumpkin seed giveaway still going on for another week. Please see Episode 13 for details of the giant pumpkin seed giveaway contest. I am giving away seeds from my 1931 pound pumpkin and my 1970.5 pound pumpkin.

@@theturnerranchwifor sure! I might roll with the set I have at about 10 feet small day 20 but it’s starting to crank a bit putting on 4” cc a day. Not awful

I dont know the grade of your property but a french drain might possibly help and if your property is too flat then possibly you could dig a couple of 4 foot deep pits around the perimeter of the waterlogged pach and fill them with gravel and put a pipe in the center of the pit thats just big enough for a pump to slide inside and that will give the extra water somewhere to accumulate that you could pump it out and away

I am not sure if you have seen my previous videos, but I dug a trench along the one side of the wet patch. Only about a foot deep, a foot wide and maybe 6-8 feet long. I started by carry 5 gallon buckets of water out of the patch and moved to pumping after removing about 700 gallons by bucket. I probably removed 3,000-4,000 gallons of water before I gave up. Mainly gave up because I needed the hoses and extension cords for other purposes. I really appreciate your suggestions! I may just move to a new location for this patch next year.

That could have been a bird or a mouse or squirrel. My largest big max has a scare too and I'm really not sure how but it looks like it's going to be fine

Good to hear that yours is healing up fine. Hope mine does the same.

Hi! I am invested in seeing how things turn out. Do you have the ability to water out there if you need to? If so will you raise the elevation of the swamp? With a semi of topsoil? Here’s to giant pumpkins! 🧡🎃🧡

Yes, I have the ability to water all of my pumpkins. Really not sure what I am going to do with the swamp patch. Might move to a new location for next year or just grow 2 pumpkins. Yesterday, I trimmed off some of the dead leaves/vines and uncovered any vines I had buried earlier in the year. I also put compost under the vines to get them a little elevated.
