Ep. 15 - July 22nd Patch Tour - Growing Giant Pumpkins 2024
Patches are mostly filled in which means vine burying season is almost behind us. All 4 pumpkins are growing well. Some better than others. I also share how I move the pumpkins as they grow so that they wont tear themselves off the vine.

      @@giantsquash usually you have the vine trained in a kind of “S” shape so you’re just relieving the kink in the “S”. The one in this video is more of a straight line so it’s slightly different. Easier to draw than put into words. Easiest way of thinking about it is the pumpkin expands in all directions equally. And when it expands back towards the vine you have to relieve it.

      @@paulameredith4843 this variety (Atlantic Giant) does not naturally grow in that orientation. However, with very careful vine training and some special care given to the blossom end it can be done. You need to dig a hole or grow on something that gives clearance for the blossom.
