You are such an inspiration! I love learning how to do things on my own, so watching you learn as you go just tickles me to death. I picked my corn last week, and I seem to have started my pumpkins not even a week after you so it will be nice to have someone to compare plants to. I only have two plants though, and am planning on growing them up a nylon trellis - good luck with your garden, can't wait for updates!

Hey man I really enjoy your videos please keep sharing. I planted pumpkins last year but the squash beetles completely ate my plants before I could spray. I hope to have better luck this year. Look forward to your next video and good luck with your harvest.

Your daughter is so cute. I'm showing my grand daughter to also do some gardening. I planted pumpkins around April but here lately it rains every day. It's so hard to garden outside. I notice that this is happening all over. Now I have to wait until after Sept when hurricane season is gone. Great garden.

I totally agree. Another thing I might try is trimming back the vines a few feet from the pumpkins. Select only a few from each plant to let mature. Don't let the plants try and grow too many all at once. yup 4 or 5 plants each with say 2 or 3 pumpkins should give you larger results.

Good job on the videos. I've really enjoyed them. Hey, I just wanted to say though that I think the reason your pumpkins were so small is because the roots of each plant is too close together. I would recommend thinning them out to 4 or 5 plants. I think that'll increase the size of your plants and up your production. Basically getting more/larger fruit off less plants. If you want to see if that's maybe what's going on you could plant 2 or 3 plants over by themselves spaced about 4 foot apart.

Yes its really great. I plant without thinking about the weather. Have a nice weekend

That's a great picture with you and your daughter at the end. She is super cute.

i look forward to seeing how they go!! i'm starting my own pumpkin patch this year and i'm excited to see if it's a success or not haha. i'm new to this. your info is really helpful, especially the mulch comments. thanks so much!

Okay thanks I plan on getting me some bee hives In feb. so Ill have plenty of bee's I cant wait

they look good

Thanks

hey thank you It seems like I learn something new everyday and just keeping it all in my head is the hard part Ive got stuff written down all over the place lol How did you do on your corn? keep me updated on your pumpkins and watch out for them stink bugs they will kill your plant "oh nooo" lol

Lol I did fair on the corn, I didn't know ANYTHING about what I was doing, so I only planted four plants. I got three cobs off of them though, so that's about a 40% average, I was happy getting one. ;-) My first true leaf broke off my pumpkin vine today, think the rest of the plant will still grow okay? I...don't really know much about those either, ha!

Not all of them but maybe I will isolate a few if I want to save seeds and make sure they are true to the variety. I did not tape the white pumpkin bloom but it was growing by itself and was the first plant to begin blooming.

Yea you gotta keep onto of them bad boys Im talking everyday go out there and spray.I had lots of them last year and I sprayed almost everyday. good luck man

I didnt think about that Your probably right Ill thin a little more Thanks

Omg im so happy...i also have a pumpkin patch and its my first time ^_^

are you pollinating them flowers of yours and then taping them up?

Yes she is she's my little angel Thanks for the comment

South Carolina

Yea I hope she keeps helping me as she grows cause we all know they grow up. lol

okay Ill try that thanks

I did that cause I wasnt getting any pumpkins and the pumpkins I saw coming just turned black and died so I started doing it myself and actually got some pumpkins to grow.

lol your me two years ago I didnt know anything or very little not sure if they will grow or not they might and pumpkins are easy just plant and make sure you get good pollination or your pumpkin will die oh know we dont want that lol what kind did you plant?

Don't see many bees anymore. Kind of worries me.

Where you located?

your welcome

Okay well once I see a female bloom Im out there pollinating it that way Im 100% sure that that pumpkin will grow. I need to thin my patch alot this year found out Ive been planting to many plants lol

You should try growing some golden bantam corn

Alright get you dish washing spray ready for them stink bugs cause you will have alot of them
