You’re videos have been saving my butt with my first year growing pumpkins! Thank you for all of the good info!

Was super helpful! You seemed to have stopped posting, but hope all's well & you come back

My daughter and I are starting our first backyard pumpkin patch this year and we really want this to work but I have never done any gardening before. Thank you so much for these videos, they are so helpful and informative! 😊🎃

Your videos are so helpful! We are growing pumpkins for the first time this year, and we find ourselves coming back to your videos again and again for fertilizer advice, trellising advice etc. etc. Thank you so much!!! 👍🙌

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👏🏼👏🏼 I love your videos, you are a great explainer, very informative and don't talk to much! 😬😁 Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us! It is GREATLY appreciated! Happy Gardening! 🎃

Thank you. Our school is growing pumpkins this year with the children, so thank you for your help

This is awesome, thank you. I'm trying to grow giant pumpkins this year and reading up on the NPK and the ratios needed for each part of the plant growth was just way too confusing for me. You managed to explain it perfectly in just 6 minutes and I was able to understand exactly what I need and what to do at the different stages. Thank you and I've definitely subscribed. A few months ago I had watched an earlier video when you were preparing those mounds but I didn't watch the follow up videos, so I'm kicking myself a little bit. But my pumpkins have fruit that is growing very well and I now now to up the Potash for them 😊 You're awesome thank you.

I love this!! They look great! I've been giving my pumpkins Epsom salt too, they love it lol

I’m growing pumpkins for the first time. Thanks for the advice!

Kevin, these are all good points. Your garden is surrounded by fences and buildings, so the winds are blocked. Strong winds can blow your vines all over the place, crushing the tubules in the stems and leaves. To avoid that I bury the vines and the first few inches of every leaf. Where I want a pumpkin to grow, I leave that segment above ground. That also reduces the risk of stem bores. I use a second plant for pollen. I also cut off all but one pumpkin per stem per stem, but wait until they are about basketball size (my goal is large pumpkins). Thanks for posting. It was all very clear.

Nice tutorial as it's to the point, not vague and it's explained in a logical order; according to the stage's of the plant's growth.

I love that you DONT have background music!❤

FYI. I have 2 hills of pumpkins with 2 plants per hill. Concerning Potash I contacted Espoma Customer Service and was told to use only 1 teaspoon of Potash per hill ( not per plant). I gave my pumpkins that 1 tsp per hill today. We'll see the results (hopefully this week).

I was giving my pumpkins 18-18-10 the vines grow like crazy no pumpkins yet were about 75 days in. I need to start with the bone meal now hopefully we have enough time about 60 days left till Halloween

That's the same fertilizer I use! ...first time using this one....but so far my tomatoes and pumpkins are producing wonderful!

great video mate.. I haven't fertalised mine at all this year.. have 4 good pumpkins.. (though it's on my veggie patch so the soil is really healthy)

Ahh can’t I just use one fertilizer? And if I get the 4 different things, how much do I add per plant and how often. You said, “ A healthy dose of potassium “...but what is that per plant?

Great job🌱

Thank you so much for all your information. I will take your advice to fertelize my gourts in my garden, they are flowering now.

I've been saying it wrong, POT-ASH , instead of Po-TASH all these years. great video!

I feed mine only Alaskan fish fertilizer and FoxFarms Sea kelp fertilizer called Kelp me Kelp You. They LOVE it!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. But how often do you fertilize?

Just mulch your pumpkin plant with some freshly cut grass clippings, some half composted tree leaves, and some dried quail or chicken manure to it. Zero cost!

I’m using bananas 🍌 and bananas water. Epsom salt, egg shells. I just started planting this month and made many mistakes and I’m learning. I’m on round 3 and I just planted them yesterday.

Great video and very informative but not confusing!! Thanks🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

5-10-5. I PLANTED MY FIRST TWO PUMPKINS A FEW MONTHS AGO,NOW HAVE PLANTS ONE VINE IS 5 FOOT LONG. ON EACH PLANT NO FLOWERS YET.

You say if we are to use only 1 fertilizer throughout the growing season it should be the 2 5 3. Then a white banner shows up right after you say that. The banner says if we are to use just 1 fertilizer throughout the growing season it should be 5 10 5. Which is it? 5 10 5 is much stronger than 2 5 3. Did I buy my 5 10 fertilizr for nothing? Also use 5 1 1 fish fertilizer every 30 days or every 2 weeks? Thanks.

Great info! Plan to keep up with your videos as this is my first Pumpkin season!

Super helpful thanks you!

Awesome great keep it up bro pretty good.

should I use landscaping fabric to kill all the grass in my meadow before planting my pumpkins? pretty much iimpossible to mow the grass with all those pumpkin vines

Bone meal is an extremely slow release fertilizer. It could take over a month before any phosphorus is available for the plant to absorb.

My pumpkins are only one month old and are about 1.5 to 2 feet long but are already flowering. Is this okay or should i cut the flowers off and let them grow a little longer? I live in Southern California and the first frost is expected to be last week of November.

Planted pumpkins last year for the first time. Think i planted to late. Alot came up but didnt make it due to the cold. I only got 5 pumpkins and 6 apple gourds. My plot was small idk maybe 10’x30’. Next year im going bigger 50’x 200’. The whole fert and spraying makes my head hurt. Any way you can post a list??? Enjoy your videos will keep watching…thanks!!

I’m sure you have covered it somewhere so please forgive me…….but when do you Thin Down the plants and how many do I leave per mound?

Thank you

I know this video was made a few years ago... but I’m a new gardener, trying my hand at some pumpkins this year. I’ve got quite a few male buds on my plant, and a couple female buds. I’ve been using a general fertilizer with numbers similar to yours, and a liquid fertilizer 6-12-6 up until this point. I’ve just been following the directions on the bag and bottle for how often. But, I’m curious to know how often you fertilize your pumpkins each step of the way. After watching this, I am going to pick up some Potash for when my pumpkins fruit. Do you just follow the instructions about frequency on all your fertilizers? Or do you have a specific schedule that you have come up with? Please and thanks. And anyone else that may see this comment that has any suggestions, advice welcome.

Also, Espoma Potash is muriate of potash a.k.a potassium chloride. The potassium gets absorbed, but the chloride builds up in the soil with each application. This inhibits plant growth, so if you want big pumpkins you shouldn't use muriate potash by any brand. Potassium sulfate is a much better option for the same price.

How much bone meal potash do I add once they start flowering and fruiting I'm giving pumpkins ago this year and going all out only have 2 vines cause of limit space I don't want to kill them by over fertilizing

Do you just sprinkle that over the top of the mound? Rookie pumpkin planter here (me). Nvm, I asked too earlier...question answered 🤦‍♂️

Great information!! I use fish fertilizer all year long also I use tea I make from weeds and grass in and around my Garden.. But I really like your method, I must try next season. Tfs

How are you mowing the lawn with the pumpkin vines in the way?

Great video!

Thanks for the information. I replanted pumpkins for the 3rd this month 🥺

Thanks for so much information

lovely!!! thanks for ur vidio ....

Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you for this. :-) Breaking down what the plant needs throughout the season is wonderful.

👻🎃I hope everybody is having a great autumn 2022 magical we had a full moon a few days ago in Minneapolis Minnesota it was huge and had it almost like a super moon and it was a beautiful rainbow or around it and moon dog. My husband and I are having fun with the pumpkins but really not getting large pumpkins I think we only have six pumpkins and I think we have like twice as many vines as you vines got burnt or black in the other day from frost so I trimmed all those off today and we are having a record-breaking 70°F here which is great that I have part of the day off to do this work and then the rest of the week we’re going to go down to lower temperatures hopefully this fertilizer to use the bonemeal and the fertilizer will help because we only have 19 days till Halloween

I’m a little (alot) late to the party but i was wondering how do you safely feed potash to your pumpkins throughout the season?

I live in California and Espoma Garden Food with a 5 10 5 NPK cannot be sold in California (was told that by Ace Hardware). What other company sells 5 10 5 fertilizer? Have no idea why the Espoma brand is banned in Calif.

you have great videos !

your welcome po tash sounds like a slang word for something

I Can't find POTASH anywhere in my city, I live in Los Angeles California and nobody seems to carry this item. I've been to Lowes, Home Depot, Ace hardware, Armstrongs gardening and many others Any suggestion would help out a lot and I'm not going to buy off line. My pumpkin ( Atlantic giant )is falling be hide by about 3 week's and she need to plump up some. Thank you in advance

Thank you so much for your videos. They have helped my first time pumpkins immensely. How often do you apply the fish oil, potash and bone mea? I’ve read the directions on the packages but feel like I’m not providing enough to them.

Thanks! And do you have any links or places were to buy the fertilizers you use in the video? I have trouble finding some.

What is the frequency of of applying fertilizer. Specifically after I start getting fruit? Potash every 2 weeks and alternating weeks with 2-5-3?

when you fertilized your pumpkins did you use Jobes 2-5-3 and the Alaska fish fertilizer at the same time? or did you alternate? I just fertilized with Jobes 2-5-3 and wondering if I should also add the fish fertilizer? or will that be too much?

I also have 2 hills of cantaloupes w/2 plants per hill. I've been using the same fretilizer as I use for pumpkins. Any changes I should make?

Thank you so much🙏🏽

How often do you fertilize in each category? Every week?

I planted early and pumpkins are beginning to turn orange and ripen if I shade it will it grow more rather then ripen ?

What do you apply when the leaves become whitish with ( not sure) bacterial or viral infection.

What about compost tea?

Apka video aacha laga Mine bhi pupcon ligiya है

if you are planting pumpkins in 3 large deep plant pot, should that be fine? or will it effect the growth of the roots?

How often are you applying the general fertilizer?

Hi, I'm planning to plant some butternut. How often should I fertilize it? I'm a beginner, by the way.

My plants are so small but are trying to bloom flowers that keep falling off, oh no

I tried using banana peels for potash. Is that okay?

How about using 20-20-20 for Pumpkins???

What fertiliser is it

Pumpkins!!!!!🎃

Do you spray the vines themselves or just root feed ?

Our pumpkin has taken over...

Very useful......sub'd. Grace and peace Gilly wife of Mark

How deep did you dig the hole

👍💯

expensive pumpkins at the end with price of fertilizer, composted soils and water. But if we do it for fun like à hobby, then it's OK.

Great gardening mate. Just wish to get away from those packaged fertilizers event hough they are always labeled as "organic", they still ends up and harms the effects ecosystem.

I dosed. My pumpkin with nitrogen and espsom salt and some doctor earth

Thats a really loud bag lol

Man you’re saying potash wrong. Pot-ash

POTASH POTASH POTASH, NOT POE-TASH I liked the video though.

Pot-Ash..... not potash like potato.....

Jesus its pot ash !

Pot ash

😂😂😂😂😂Potash

It is pronounced pot ash not po tash

Kills me how we are now putting fish on our gardens wtf

its pronounced pot ash, potash lol

dude ... you are u sing way too muck chemicals to grow stuff ,,,, you have to eat that ...

I don't like any of this. You are selling product. I like natural resources. I shouldn't hav to go buy a bag of anything. My pumpkins are healthier than yours. After all that, I may as well go buy a pumpkin when I want one!
