      Yeah I wanted to grow jack fruit on my subtropical lot in florida. Then I thought about it. No I don't want a 25 pounder falling 80 foot down us😮 Plus they're spiky too! So the moral of the story is when dealing with or growing something.Think about it falling on you and attacking you😂

    I am surprised that pumpkin didn't smash into pieces when it dropped. Just goes to show how thick and tough the skins are. I will be reminding you in spring to sew your pumpkin seeds nice and early and get that pumpkin patch ready!

    i miss having our old house. I use to love growing veggies. I was surprised the first pumpkin I grew survived. It weigh less than 20 pound but it felt great of an accomplishment. I hope next year you get into that competition with a beautiful whopping pumpkin 🎃. Dedicated to Rita. ❤

    Echo is like your literal shadow, but whenever he goes underneath the pumpkin, my anxiety levels rising. It made me chuckle when he immediately went to the goats and got spooked by the electric fence 😂
    It's a lesson learned for everyone: don't let giant pumpkins suspend in the air for too long 😂

    I've been waiting for this video. It obviously is quite a production to plant,nurture, nurse, and transport mega pumpkins. It looked like a lot of work, but it had to be a satisfying project. The first pumpkin had such beautiful color and skin.
    I've watched pumpkin contests before, but this time, I got to see the behind the scenes action.
    So, did you bring your critters any leftovers? Can such big pumpkins be used for cooking and baking?
    This whole process must have been fun. What's next?

    • @WhittAcres
      @WhittAcres  9 днів тому +1

      The pumpkins are sitting out for display, before they get soft they'll be cut open and the seeds harvested. The animals and compost will get the left overs, the giant pumpkins are typically lacking flavor being watered down.

    Is the 2nd one a different variety? It's just not as orange! But, it's huge, too!! 😮

    What if you grew a pumpkin in a mesh sling suspended off the ground so it grew more spherically and eventually. I’m thinking of something like a Bagster but with a mesh bottom so it could breathe and drain moisture away?

    My brother was a volunteer firefighter he was in for 44 years, he died of covid-19, when our children were toddlers we taught them to duck when siren took off that way my brothers could jump over them and they were not in the way or got knocked over by accident; after they where gone they'd wait to hear which way siren were going if they went by house they'd wave to the firemen- they knew better than to go into road (they'd be punished - they would be in house rest of day not outside playing) so they stayed away from road did not take long to teach them to stay away from there
