    Thank you for sharing your tips. Where did you find the seeds for those white and black pumpkins?

    I accidentally planted like 300 punmkins this year when I was trying to fertilize my new grass in backyard...and I forgot I had tossed all our Halloween pumpkins in our compost...after watering my grass for a couple days I realized little baby pumnkins popping up literally everywhere in my new beautiful grass. I plucked them all out and transplanted them over in a more appropriate area for em and theyre happy as can be. So I've got a very unexpected unplanned pumnkin patch this year and hopefully some will pollinate and grow some good happy pumnkins this year

    Omg! I nearly snarfed the water I was drinking as you mentioned using bras and about being optimistic by going with a double D!!! I LOVE your humor and appreciate the candid, honest, and detailed way you make your educational videos! I'm guessing you and your wife would get along really well, if not become good friends, with my hubby and I if we knew one another in real life.
    If my garden was in my backyard, I'd actually try your bra hack out with a few of my old bras😂. Instead, I bought a few yards of fabric on Amazon. It is labeled "solid stretch power mesh fabric". It is similar to the skin toned material you'd use on dance or ice skating costumes to make costumes appear skimpier/sexier while still covering the body with a slightly sheer material that mimics skin. I cut it into wide strips to support larger fruits/veggies that I'm trellising or to protect fruits/veggies/plants from animals, bugs, excessive sun exposure, and from the cold. The material is kinda like a combination of a semi-thick tight and a micro mesh netting.

    Thanks for including the drip installation in the video. Crazy that we just moved into a new build home and to my dismay recently discovered that the soil here is like solid clay with tons of intermixed rock. So I will have to grow everything in raised beds and pots and will need to run a lot of drip lines off the 3/4" irrigation tubing the builder put in. Didn't even think about investigating the soil when we were house shopping--surrounded by orchard and vineyard so assumed it was prime growing area 😏. So your videos on irrigation (and everything else) are truly a godsend! Thank you!

    I have good luck putting a bucket with the bottom cut out around my squash. I also do that with tomatoes. It seems to get them off to a good start. I don't know if they are warmer, or why it works. I imagine it wouldn't stop squirrels, but I haven't had an issue with them in the garden.

    I grew pumpkins once, here in Alaska. I used the pantyhose. They worked great. They were off the ground. We still have a couple of feet of snow here. We have such a short growing season here. Last summer was cold. Everyone had small vegetables and fruit. Hopefully, we'll have a better summer. My daughter is excited to do some gardening with me. We're going to start them inside in about a week, when we're able to get what we need. ❤

    The fact that pumpkins spread out and need a lot of space isn't a down side because you can take advantage of that to use that to cover plants that don't like full sun.

      I did a soaker hose on a timer this year throughout my raised beds. This is the first year I've not done it by hand. Seems to be working well so far. I just go out and prune and look for pests and get to skip the hour of watering. It's wonderful so far!

    My garden grow area is just under 700 sq ft. I've gotten creative in how and what I can grow.
    This year, I have adopted your idea for tomato tellis.. and using that for the cuc's as well.
    I also decided to take a stab at sweet pumpkins. Not having real estate, I went with pots.. big ones (25 gallons). Started them indoors.. transplanted with quality soil and they are doing fantastic. Just need to build a trellis.

    Lol, double D, it might be better with an H. That was really funny. Tulle is great for protecting plants. You can get it from the dreaded Amazon as well. I learned that trick from a UA-camr who does container gardening in California to keep squirrels out of her vegetables.Who knew something as inexpensive and very fine would deter small animals.

    We have a volunteer pumpkin plant that sprouted up in our DG, next to a flower bed. We didn’t know what kind of plant it was until last week when we saw the first baby pumpkin starting to grow. The vine is huge and I spotted 3 pumpkins so far. If I had known it was a pumpkin vine when it popped up, I would have transplanted it to a better location!

    omg - I didn't even THINK of tulle!. And I sew a lot, lol! I've been looking at the different options online for garden protection fabric and it's all just too expensive. Think I'll head off to my local JoAnnes and get a bolt.
    Excellent tip!
    I'm growing pie pumpkins and Sugar baby watermelons in the 28g galvanized tubs from Tractor Supply. I've had minimal success in the past with either in ground or in containers, but I've given them a little more space this year and I'm hopeful. The bottle gourds and zucchini I've planted in them are going wild, lol.
    I've used a modified hugelkulture method in the tubs. I drilled 4 holes in the sides at the level of the first indented ring on the tub (about 3-4" up from the bottom), then filled with punky wood to just above the holes, then filled the rest of the way with container soil. The tomatoes love it as the roots go deep enough to get to the wet wood. It doesn't really help the shallow rooted plants so much, but the soil does stay more moist when it gets hot.
    Now I just need to figure out a trellis system to use with them for the melons, pumpkins and gourds...

    Another idea to support the mellons/squash on a trellis... net type bags that oranges or onions come in. I used this netting to support butternut and acorn squash. Would use a twist-tie.. always would grab a few extra from the produce when I went shopping.
