Hi TT frrr t
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Most helpful video for growing pumpkins (in general) out there.
Great tips cos growing my own pumpkins this year
That is an awesome pumpkin! Wish I had the space in my garden for that. Good tips on manually pollinating them too!
The way he pollinated those flowers tho😍. I'll have to try this for my pumkin. Is there a way of tying it with out breaking the petals?
Very good very nice thanks
Very good your Farming
Los admiro por semejante labor
Oh my garden 🪴.
one trick that makes any fruit grow bigger is to trim the new leaves regularly. the plant "Intelligence " tells the plants to grow better fruit when it cannot flower more. its more like dealing with an emergency situation. when the plant cannot bear more fruits the few fruits it has will get all the nutrition to make it bigger and stronger. i had once tried it with cucumbers and it worked. i kept pruning the new tender leaves and used it in salads while the plant gave much healthier cucumbers
does he plant after he germinated male and female flowers ? oe it should have been done by not cutting the female one from its own stem ? I will try your description as well ?
Not to many years later and we are growing them over 2000lbs consistently
Good work
Wow 😮 cuántos 🍎 pies se pueden hacer de esa gran calabaza. Es un Excelente trabajo.
Very nice

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Very nice. I love and like agriculture.
Beautiful! 😊
But how do you move it? Is one that big edible?
It was a couple of weeks before I had any female flowers but I had plenty of male flowers early on.
What are the soil requirements? Ph levels? Feeding levels ? etc
Any good hard specifics? I just bought some Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds...I'm going to give this a try!
I plant pumpkins too before and that is what we call direct cross pollination, but when we chose the male flower, we choose the one that is almost opening. I haven't tried the flower that already opened if it works
giant fruits children would love, conserving sweetness and flavor, they love little giant things.
So excited that it's pumpkin competition season again. ;) Or...pumpkin season, period. Love the coming of the fall so much. These look GREAT, fun vid.
My first pumpkin appeared on the vine last week lol! Probably won't get this big but I'll see what happens
It's a fun sign of fall to come!
Thanks I learnt a lot

What is the purpose of growing giant pumpkins, are they edible, is it possible to use them in cooking?
shafaq007 some take them out for a competition. And the competition they make them into boats..... it looks more like a barrel race in the water but still pretty ridiculous
Think of it more as a sport. The gardener has to know what he's doing to get it to grow so big and its a fun challenge and its just cool to grow giant fruit.
Someones got to feed hillary clinton.
Competition and you can win money
Just try pumpkin bud leaves very tasty racepie
good very much good
Very good👍😇
he meant to say that bees would contamintate the flowers with undesired male pollen.
That is quite a bit of work to grow giant pumpkins. I wonder if the same procedure would apply to other vegetables also.
it certainly does to tomatoes
When should I start getting rid of the extra pumpkins. Also which one should I go with, the first one (biggest so far), or wait until the other ones get growing?
Wow....so big pumpkin
Good Sar
Wow great job that was amazing
12 years later XD It recommend for my channel XD
amazing! 😲😲😲😲😲thanks for sharing
That was very informative - do I also dispose of unwanted pumpkins to reduce the stress on the vine? In other words - Do I limit the vine to one fruit?
After 12 years
that polination is correct it will grow big biger
Wow nice 👍
very good

Elisabeth, that is sand. The pumpkin grows so fast you have to put sand under the pumpkin to reduce friction

So after you polinate the m & f what do you do with it? Plant it? You never said why and what you do with it.
Nice
Its very tasty to fry male flower with eggs.

What are the best seeds for giant pumpkins?
The variety is called "Atlantic Giants" its the only variety that can get that big
When the pumpkins are that large, what do they use them for? Food companies purchase them?

I know this is an 8 years old comment, so you’ll probably never see this but the cultivar of pumpkin used in this video and by the vast majority of giant pumpkin growers is called “Dills Atlantic Giant”
@@skeewherrl9584 hey thanks for the information. The wife and I are getting seeds in the ground this week.
Will order some online.

What is the white powder underneath your pumpkin? is it sand? Or lime?
great question!

The red tomato is better because you can eat it and it will taste good. These giant veggies dont have much taste to them.
khricket yeah but can you make a tomato into a canoe?
Sam Fisher okok
lol
khricket realy too supper seen a best one mob and Callao me soon Feel so so so much
Ha... exactly my thoughts... also... transport considerations... You're not gonna throw this over your shoulder and walk away to the house with it! But, these giant pumpkins actually can have excellent flavor (think squash soup - there is an EXCELLENT recipe from Frank Giglio in Maine!) though... but tomatoes can be picked and sold / eaten much easier. :)
I'm curious, can't you just dump the male part inside the female flower and close it up?
the male flower rotting would put mould inside the pumpkin and essentially cause it to rot
