New to pumpkins, and never knew of this process or even that you could do this. I'm now ready for next year, but going to leave this year's crop as it is. Many thanks!
I Have never heard of this before. Thank you so much for the clear and precise explanation. Really, very good video. Wow, I hope I get my plant up and going because I want to try this out. I will check your home page and probably subscribe. I always check home pages ....Miss Jeri.
Hi there new to your channel. Like the video. Short and to the point. Can you tell me what is eating my pumpkin and zucchini leaves and how to fix it? Thanks!
@growbigpumpkins It seem you did two different applications for the thrusery stem. At the begining you just cut off leaf leaving one leaf, in the second one you cut off the actuall stem. If thats what I saw, is both applications right? Or if thats not what is shown, I stand to be corrected in my understanding. And thank you for the info, good knowledge to have, and a great looking vine there😊
Pumpkin 🎃 Would you please tell me what kind of antifungal powder use I couldn’t find any at Home Depot I’m actually here right now they’re all out. Oh really good video I can’t wait to try the mud pack.
I live in NE Texas and have had wonderful results growing squash/zucchini... until the squash vine borers get to them. Will I have the same issue with pumpkins?
So right around February I threw a whole pumpkin into my back yard. I didn't think anything of it, but it took off like wildfire. Today, I cleaned up the back and preserved the vines as much as possible. But I know I bent a few. I don't have a green thumb, but I'd love if it yielded at least one. Any advice?
Will pumpkins grow good pumpkins without doubling and burring roots? I just have a bunch rooted in planters and I just want to throw them in the ground....will they render pumpkins this way?
Interesting video... You may be interested in my unorthodox method that is similar to this. Last year we bought some pumpkins from Trader Joe's. They say until March 2018 and started leaking. Just prior to this, I had just gotten motivated to remove a massive, solid root from an old Orange tree that reached full maturity and was easily 40 to 50 years old. The root was massive and left a hole big enough to literally make a pond out of... I thought, let's try an experiment. (My garden is in La Habra, California and it has been very hot this year) I tossed both rather large pumpkins into the hole and they smashed pretty good. A few weeks later I started to notice the sprouts and just started watering. I have to say, every other time I have grown from a mound and they never looked this healthy without some sort of artificial fertilizer. All of the vines have grown out of the hole and have spread all across my backyard, over 20 feet in some cases. As it progressed I set up a few water points that created an alluvial fan going into the hole and started covering some vines. I compost daily, however I started throwing my compost directly into the center of the hole and let the alluvial fan slowly cover it. It's too soon to see if my pumpkins will be larger than the seed they came from, but so far I am seeing some very healthy fruit and flower. Oh and incidentally, the fan is covering up the vines with soil naturally. Thank you for sharing this.
Hello I would have liked to see that hole and how your vines are growing. My ?, what is alluvial fan and why did you use whatever it is or means? Excuse me I'm a beginner gardener😊
Any tips for dealing with aphids..? I live in tropical country.. Aphids can always attack our crops. I tried some home remedies tips from youtube like mixing a baking soda, vegtable oils, & dishwasher liquid soap into one. Welp they did kill them but in the next 2 or 3 days the leaves turned into black like it was burned. I want to change into some vinegar mix but I heard they can cause the burn effect as well pretty similar to baking soda ones
I have a pumpkin which I self pollinated. It has been getting larger but no it is about 1 1/2 diameter and about 5 inches long. Today I felt it and it feels like it's getting softer. Is this a normal process? Ty
I have one main vine with tons of flowers and no pumpkin yet. some flowers has a little a little pumpkin underneath. so I guess i have to manually pollinate it since it's now August here in NY.
Pumpkin plants sprawl naturally, that's just their nature; some varieties do so to a lesser degree but vining plants tend to take up a chunk of space. If you want to minimize their reach you'll have to manually direct the vines as they grow (wrapping in loose circles around the center, kind of like a bullseye, works to keep things tidy. Dont pull against the vine though or you risk splitting, just so far as it can comfortably move, follow the direction is grows from the base). Just remember more pumpkins = a little more time needed to ripen, they distribute resources rather equally so if the plant has a lot of fruit you'll need to put a decent amount of time, effort, and nutrients into each.
I was wondering if u can help me? I'm doing my first ever pumkins,I have about 7 or 8 plants that have been doing greet all summer long until now,I don't have alot of space for the garden but again they were doing good ,now the roots are splitting and cracking I did try bury the parts with fresh soil but didn't work.now I've lost about 3 plants and am very disappointed, I have a plant that has a couple pumkins started,and am afraid to lose them I'm going to post a video on my channel if u can check it out and give me some direction, my growing is in connecticut
All my flowers are male... This explains everything. All of my pumpkin’s have barbed stems that are incredibly painful to handle. Is this typical of large organic pumpkins? I got the seeds from the pumpkins myself, last year.
This is for places that have a long grow season. That slows growth for awhile but pays off in the long run, but here in the mountains i dont have the time to achieve this.
Annakist, probably the rooting part. That take energy from the vine to grow new roots. I really don't have that much time this year. At the last minute I decided to start some pumpkins. AKA, The last week of June. As long as it stays reasonable through the first week of October, hahahaha, I'll be good.
It’s a great idea but doesn’t work for me. One of my butternut-squash is on top of the shed the other one is on the tree and the winter squash is on the fence since I don’t have space for them
4:06 Insert some generic house music & you'll have yourself some pumpkin porn!! Unlike some poser pumpkins, this pumpkin didn't have the other pumpkin sign an NDA...
Just cover some stems with some grass clipping or half composted tree leaves. You can do the same for tomatoes. Tomatoes grow naturally without any trellis. :)
The pattern. More vine means get can get more nutrients to the pumpkin. When he said remove this part of the vine is because it can overcrowded an cant keep track of plant very good
Thanks for this video! I’m excited to grow pumpkins next year.
This is amazing and educational! I learned so much in such a short time! Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed your first two videos. I will have to try the mud patty method. Good luck this season!
Very informative. Going to try this on tomato and cucumber plants.
1k subs...you should keep going with vid's, replies and see it fly!
New to pumpkins, and never knew of this process or even that you could do this. I'm now ready for next year, but going to leave this year's crop as it is. Many thanks!
This information has really helped me this year. The pumpkins are really growing and the plants are huge! Thank You so much for this video.
In October he will sit in his pumpkin patch waiting for THE GREAT PUMPKIN! 🎃
Classic
A perfectionist for sure! : ) Beautiful job. Thanks for the tips!
Prob is a mid level manager and treats employees like hell. One that creates busy work for employees.
That’s a crazy plant! Do you trim flowers off till you’ve reached the bone growth you’d like?
I Have never heard of this before. Thank you so much for the clear and precise explanation. Really, very good video. Wow, I hope I get my plant up and going because I want to try this out. I will check your home page and probably subscribe. I always check home pages ....Miss Jeri.
Me too !
Great video, best so far. My vine is growing really slow and its not looking good. This will help. I hope I get some pumpkins.
Such a clear information for the beginners.thnx bro❤️
Hi there new to your channel. Like the video. Short and to the point. Can you tell me what is eating my pumpkin and zucchini leaves and how to fix it? Thanks!
Interesting, I had no idea you could bury the vines to grow more roots. Thanks!
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much you helped.
did he say FUN-JIE!!! did he say RUTS!!!!
I love it. Where do you think that accent is from?
Yea..that's what I heard too and couldn't watch anymore....
Must be from Central America. Lol rhuutz, warsh, funjeye. Lol
🤭 I always say rhuutz, my 13 yr old always gets a kick out if it
He's "old school"
So helpful! Thank you!
Enormously helpful. Thanks! Question: Can you fertilize a female flower from a male flower on the same plant?
Yes, you can.
真正的教南瓜人工受粉！先找出公花，摘掉剩雄蕊，然後再找母花受粉！一般視頻都不會把公花跟母花講清楚！這個視訊贊！無私沒坎步！
Great video. Thanks so much. Very informative.

And thank you for the info, good knowledge to have, and a great looking vine there😊
Great Info, Thanks!
Great idea! Good technique
Can you put semi decomposed wood chips on top of the vine? Also can you put wood chips on the soil late into the season?
Should I reduce watering my pumpkins once they stop growing, so they don't split?
Pumpkin 🎃 Would you please tell me what kind of antifungal powder use I couldn’t find any at Home Depot I’m actually here right now they’re all out.
Oh really good video I can’t wait to try the mud pack.
This is an awesome video...many thanks

Great videos... don't stop...
I have a lot of bees in my garden there doing a great job
Great video👌🏾 great tips
very clear and informative effort. can pumpkin vines root themselves into grass my vines are anchoring to grass and seems to be going well so far
Mine do :)
Hi sir.... I am from India... I am very much impressed with your cultivation. Can you provide seeds of this pumpkin plz...
Excellent garden
How many pumpkins do you allow to mature per plant? Just one? Where along the central leader do you allow it to set?
Very well explained 👍
very nice my friend
Can you burry the main stem from where you planted the seed without any harm?
Would you recommend cutting off a male flower and taking it around to your open female flowers to ensure they're all getting properly pollinated?
NO..... if you need pollination, you need bees.
Very helpful. Thank you
Great guide!
So right around February I threw a whole pumpkin into my back yard. I didn't think anything of it, but it took off like wildfire.

How many things I need to learn, thanks 😊

Yes they will. You just won't get them as big as you could.
very interesting and informative.
Great video, cheers!
Plc bi
Will the pumpkins not grow if you don't manually pollinate? I thought my friends the bees did that? tia
A better looking Will Ferrel! Thanks a lot. Growing pumpkins soon.👍
Mind blowing stuff you got here.
Thanks for sharing important tips, I subscribe your channel :)
Very informative. Thank You for uploading!
Do you use inoculant on your seeds also? Or just when burying the vines..(.mycrobial fungi)

Interesting. Can you explain more on the alluvial fan and water points? My brain is lost on that without context.
Hello I would have liked to see that hole and how your vines are growing.
My ?,
what is alluvial fan and why did you use whatever it is or means?
Excuse me I'm a beginner gardener😊
i love pumpkins so much

Hi. Excellent video, very important information. Thanks 🙏 Zz.
I have one main vine with tons of flowers and no pumpkin yet. some flowers has a little a little pumpkin underneath. so I guess i have to manually pollinate it since it's now August here in NY.
It is easy and very nice thanks 🙏
Hi would it br possible to do this with any vine/plant for example cucumbers and watermelons?
nice video.thanks.
Any tips on preventing the squash vine borer from killing pumpkin plants? It is what happened to me last year 😞
Try companion planting . Also be diligent with checking for eggs and adolescents
It’s been an issue of mine too and this is stuff I’m researching
My vine is only 5 ft long and I already have female flower, should I be worried? It’s a Connecticut Field Variety
good job..
Thank you!
Okk my pumpkin plant it’s almost 4-5 weeks old , when they r mature enough do I have to really do this , or I can leave them alone ,
I don't intend to grow a giant pumpkin, but many smaller ones for food. Will the plants, if I treat them well take up as much space?
Pumpkin plants sprawl naturally, that's just their nature; some varieties do so to a lesser degree but vining plants tend to take up a chunk of space.
If you want to minimize their reach you'll have to manually direct the vines as they grow (wrapping in loose circles around the center, kind of like a bullseye, works to keep things tidy.

Can we cut old unwanted leaves
Gonna try it it year

All my flowers are male... This explains everything.
All of my pumpkin’s have barbed stems that are incredibly painful to handle. Is this typical of large organic pumpkins? I got the seeds from the pumpkins myself, last year.
It varies depending on the type of pumpkin. So one can be soft and one be very spikey!
There at the end of the video you say you are standing in front of the plant in Chistmas tree form , is that just one plant ?
Yup! It is!
what fertilizer do you use on the 1:00 minute mark ?
This is for places that have a long grow season. That slows growth for awhile but pays off in the long run, but here in the mountains i dont have the time to achieve this.
Which part is for long grow season? The trimming or what du you mean? (Just curious, cos I'm in a short grow season area).
Annakist, probably the rooting part. That take energy from the vine to grow new roots. I really don't have that much time this year. At the last minute I decided to start some pumpkins. AKA, The last week of June. As long as it stays reasonable through the first week of October, hahahaha, I'll be good.
That is very cool method
very good.........
Wow thank you
So you are telling me i have a holy moly amount of male flowers and one female flower 😭
Thanks for shareing
How do you make your mud paste
No new videos or replies to the comments after this video....7 years back
It’s a great idea but doesn’t work for me. One of my butternut-squash is on top of the shed the other one is on the tree and the winter squash is on the fence since I don’t have space for them
I thought pumpkins usually form roots along the vines on their own, but maybe they grow faster if you help them..? Idk, I might try this next year.
Can you go over the difference between primary secondary and tertiary vines? I'm unsure if I'm about to cut a secondary or tertiary vine off.
Seems like tertiary vines are bad. They take away from the secondary vines that grow pumpkins. So leave secondary ones
There are some great sources on the net with diagrams. It is the only way to really make sense of it because it is sooooo confusing!
Cool, ty
4:06 Insert some generic house music & you'll have yourself some pumpkin porn!!
Unlike some poser pumpkins, this pumpkin didn't have the other pumpkin sign an NDA...
I didn't do this all but my pumpkins growing like crazy everywhere and so big👍
Thanks
shit i need to cut some terpiary vines and save my baby! what do you put under your pumpkin to keep moisture away from underneath sir?
Thanks 🙏
Hi nice watching your video
Just cover some stems with some grass clipping or half composted tree leaves. You can do the same for tomatoes. Tomatoes grow naturally without any trellis. :)
Do I want to do that christmas tree pattern if I want BIG pumpkins? I thought I wanted one single vine with one pumpkin?
The pattern. More vine means get can get more nutrients to the pumpkin. When he said remove this part of the vine is because it can overcrowded an cant keep track of plant very good
🎼there's a little white spot on the vine today. It's the same old spot as yesterday
