I like how the wind came in on almost on cue to show the need for the supports. Haha. I've never thought of planting them on a slant like that. Great tip. 👍🏻
I know! That couldn't have gone better with the wind! Nature just had to show everybody that I did it wrong 😂.
Have you had any luck using biodegradable starter pots for squash and pumpkins?
I've used peat pots and "cow pots" before, but I'm not really a fan. I feel like they dry out quickly, and I'm not convinced the roots will be able to penetrate / break through and the pot to break down quick enough for it to be able to spread out like it needs to. I remember seeings someone's video where they pulled up a giant pumpkin plant that was only a few weeks old, and the roots had already spread out over 3 feet! I feel like the roots would still be trying to break through a peat pot in that time frame, but I've never actually looked into it that detailed.
Why do my pumpkins wilt in the sun ? Its only 65* where I live right now
If the pumpkins have been recently planted/transplanted in the past few weeks, it's possible that their root system isn't well enough established in the soil. It's not uncommon for new seedlings to wilt in the sun, even on mild days for the first few weeks until their root system gets stronger. Make sure the soil is moist as well (it doesn't have to be saturated).
is it possible to grow it without fertilizer and can I only keep the main vine I'm kinda limited on spaxe
It is possible to grow it without fertilizer; just don't expect to break any records. But you could still get several hundred pounds, and even over a thousand if your soil is in good shape. Your limited space will be more of an issue than anything. If you grow a giant pumpkin with just a main vine, It will be bigger than a regular pumpkin grown in the same amount of space, but you will be severely limiting its potential. Growers have grown pumpkins over a thousand pounds in as little as 150 ft², so you can theoretically grow big pumpkins in small spaces even if it's smaller than that. If that's all you have for options, I say give it a go and see what happens!
@@pumpkinista I'm not aim for giant I'm growing for normal size pumpkins
@@shanesimpson8213 I think it's worth a try!
The only thing more nerve wracking than transplanting is transplanting while on camera. Great video though!
Haha! I almost added a blooper at the end where I said, "I hope I hit record!"
