More pumpkins? Why not?! We're going to give fall pumpkins a try and see if we can get them harvested before Halloween. Do we have enough time? We'll just have to see.

Last year (July 4) I planted some pumpkins in the midst of an oat/pea deer food plot at the place I hunt. I just mowed some small patches in the food plot with a weed eater and took an oscillating hoe to clear the ground. I then made a hill and planted seeds. It turned out great. The vines sprawled out in the food plot. Once the pumpkin fruits got some decent size, the weight kind of mashed down the foliage. I did this with about 10 hills. The varieties used were Big Moon and Connecticut Field. We got several 60+ pound pumpkins. With no water and one fertilizing.

I use low boy rye grass to intercrop my pumpkins, and radish, because cucumber beetles hate radish I've read. I don't mow it because I want all the mass of the grass to continue covering the dirt. When the rye gets up and before the pumpkins start to run I crimp down and terminate the rye. It will leave a nice straw mat for the pumpkins and alot less dirt contact. For a garden size like you have, you could get a push style crimper roller.

havent grown pumpkins for a while and no plans to do so anymore. i used to grow them along my ornamental borders, sometimes getting bumper crops. As i fill in my ornamental borders, i dont want them killed by pumpkins taking over, which they tend to do. i grew the pumpkins before i found out how to fertilize (frequently) with the right stuff, so pumpkins was always a single crop from spring planting to fall harvest. One thing that didnt help was our summer and fall being mostly dry and only hand watering. I'd harvest the crop of pumpkins, only to find the soil parched. anyhow, good show. with your current back problems, you have a chance to be inventive, for your own sake and for others that have mobility issues. it's not like the main market takes any note of anyone but the fit and mobile.

I made a planter stick with pvc pipe. I got an attachment that pops onto the straight pipe. Took a 90 elbow and attached it to that attachment piece. And then glued a 3 inch (?) Cap on the top of the elbow so it could hold my seeds. All i have to do is walk down my row and let seeds fly! (Im awful at seeds spacing so i was hoping it would help me be more accurate, i have an idea for a measurement piece that is essential the same as the seed holder but no cap, just a longer pieces attached to the elbow that are sized appropriately for the spacing im after. I think its probably overkill tho.)

I know this is an older video so I dunno if you'll see this. Have you tried sporadically planting sunflowers throughout your pumpkin plot? Im talking very thin, like 3 foot spacing. That way when they grow up tall, they provide a little bit of shade from the heat but not enough to shade them out. The deep roots can pull up water and nutrients from further down in the soil and share with the pumpkin vines. Sunflowers would be easy to terminate also.

Hey Travis - regarding the cover crop situaiton you described...would it be possible to plant a dwarf bush bean variety as a cover crop in that scenario? I'm assuming the dwarf size wouldn't out-compete the pumpkin plants, and the beans would restore some nitrogen back into the soil. I'd also guess the dwarf beans would kill off with the frost, or mature in about 60 days and start to die back. I guess all this would be dependent upon the dwarf bush bean variety and the plant could hold up to pest pressurea, drought, PM. As a bonus, you could have some bush beans via "intercropping" with the pumpkins if it worked out. I saw some bush beans marked down 75% on a popular seed supply site and thought about using them as a cover crop. Thoughts?

Not sure if this has been said, but what if you just let the cover crop go to seed since it’s a fall plot, then the seeds will just naturally sprout in the spring. Then you get an early cover crop in the spring and you can terminate it before it goes to seed for your summer vegetables.

Hi Travis, what do you do about stink bugs? Do you spray for them? They are now starting on my tomatoes and peppers..thankyou.

@LazyDogFarm 3 жыл бұрын

We get "leaf-footed bugs" on our tomatoes and peppers. That may be what you have. If you Google "leaf-footed bug," see if that's it. The adults are almost impossible to kill unless you go non-organic. You can kill the little guy and minimize the population boom with something like spinosad.

If you're looking for high-quality cut flower seed, GeoSeed is your best bet. They don't have a lot of color photos and it's best to call when ordering, but they have a huge selection. Here's their site: geoseed.com

Travis, I’ve noticed you don’t plant much with a seeder. Any reason? Just wondering.

@LazyDogFarm 3 жыл бұрын

I do if I'm planting several rows of the same thing. I use it for my sweet corn and if I'm growing a large plot of peas or beans. But if I'm just doing a single row, it's not worth the time to calibrate a plate for a specific variety.

Why do you not spray liquid seven concentrate on your winter squash that you're going to eat? I had to spray it on mine it was the only thing that would keep the squash bugs and the cucumber beetles off. The label says you can still eat stuff after it's been sprayed with it

@LazyDogFarm 3 жыл бұрын

I just try to minimize my use of it if I can. It's not so great for the bees, so we try to use it as little as possible.

@@LazyDogFarm okay I have hives so I understand that. I went through and doctored all of mine a week ago and it's keeping the squash bugs off and the cucumber beetles but now I have something eating at the base of my plants that's leaving like a frothy substance and basically just cutting it off at the ground. Any idea what that could be? I went back through yesterday and sprayed the base of the stem and all around the ground in an effort to stop this even though I'm not sure what it is.

Do you know if anyone has used your irrigation system with a PTO roller pump out of a pond? I live in south central Kentucky and have to plant where I have a flat spot or to stay away from the deer lol. Have no well or power in those spots but do have big pond. Wife is going to get me a wheel hoe for Christmas was wanting to know about roller pump usage so I could plan on what hoe attachments would not want to waste my money on irrigation system if it didn’t work on roller pump. And I have my grandpa’s ol high wheel cultivator hoe and am afraid I am going to break it so I am going to retire it and hang it up for people to look at and your hoe will take its place.it looks like the best built hoe for the money. Thanks and I love your channel love what you do and teach. Keep it up

You can pump from a pond, but you need to add a pretty decent filter to catch the debris before it enters the drip system.

Man we gotta talk fall sweet onions. I know hoss is on the past but the boss tool chart says not recommended for a fall crop. I’m some 8a and you are zone 8b and you get your onions in the ground come November?? When should I start them in seed trays? I’m stressing here. I don’t care what google says, I go by what Travis says. Maybe a video?? Thanks man

@LazyDogFarm 3 жыл бұрын

I'll probably start mine in trays around mid-September. Supposed to be getting a greenhouse in a few weeks, so that will open the door for lots of good seed starting videos.
