In some parts of southern Africa namely Zimbabwe and Zambia, we eat the pumpkin leaves as vegetables much like your collard greens in the US. However in Zambia we add groundnut powder and in Zimbabwe we add peanut butter. We obviously strip the prickley bit but just thought I would share a little of my heritage
In India, at some parts as well, we eat the leaves, flowers, steams and fruit. Maybe, Ayurveda may even incorporate roots, but imma not sure about that.
You don’t even need to bury the stem, as long as the root senses the soil it will burrow straight down deep and spread out, and you definitely don’t need the rooting hormone to make this happen, it happens naturally with pumpkin and varieties of winter squash like Butternut Squash. However, if you’re trying to grow 200+ lb watermelons, I suggest slightly burying the vines and adding a decently thick layer of mulch to promote and encourage anchor roots at leaf nodes! I grow Giant Pumpkins and Giant watermelons and have been for 8 years now! The varieties I use are Atlantic Giant for pumpkin and Carolina Cross for watermelon…
Strawberries do this too so if you see a LONG leaf it’s not it’s called a runner and make sure it’s touching the dirt so it can root when ready and grow a new plant!
On wild strawberries especially it's like a daisychain of connected plants, spreading everywhere. They just keep pushing outwards until eventually one plant in the chain hits a surface again. They can grow through weed fleece.
That's not the same thing. Pumpkins are vines that develop roots along the stem. Strawberries don't do this. They make new plants. Strawberry runners are not vines.
i threw out some leftover seed from my parrots. there was also shredded cardboard, they like to chew it up while i watch tv. some of the seed was still viable and started growing in the cardboard compost after a few heavy rains and now i have lots of gourds and funny looking pumpkins. a few of the pumpkins are getting huge! i think it's because most of their growing stems were covered with just leaves and small stems coming out of the compost.
Don’t even need rooting hormone 👌the nodes have sensory tissue that knows when it’s underground or near dirt. Doing this helps all vining vegetables; zucchini, cucumber, squash, and surprisingly even tomatoes (but they still need additional support to keep the fruit off the ground). Plants like this are also easy to grow vertical in small spaces if burying like this isn’t plausible
I just rooted some bamboo and some of them fell in the prop box and they where on a angle the tops where inches from the perlite they grew roots a few inches down into the perlite
You can soak the year's willow branches for a couple of days to get a solution with some salicylic acid, and use it to water instead of buying the auxins ;) aspirins also work.
It doesn't hurt tho and for a lot of gardeners, especially those relying on a garden for most their food, its important to do everything possible and like he said it just makes it happen _faster_
Pumpkins root very quickly and they will self root as long as the vine is touching dirt it anchors it’s self with them as it grows along no need to bury them or root hormone, I mean it may help grow even bigger pumpkins but Atlantic giants already get big as long as you trimming them down to 1-2 pumpkins per vine I actually live 10 mins away from the farm that first grew the Atlantic giants the Howard dill farm in Windsor NS I have some growing in my yard right now lol
Haha I already commented on this, was about to say something similar but let me just add to this. If you bury your pumpkins like this you might have to uncover them once they root. Depends on your soil if it holds onto to much water vines can root. If you have Sandy soil should be good.

The indole-3-butyric acid in the rooting powder causes plants to create callus tissue at the cut site that is undifferentiated, and that undifferentiated tissue can become root tissue. Just sprinkling that near where you want roots is not the proper use of this product. You want to apply it to a cut site so that the tissue you just exposed can take the product up and grow undifferentiated tissue that can become roots. So for your fig marcotting, put it on the cut-through tissue at the top (growth point side) of the collar, or for cuttings put it at the bottom cut site. For pumpkins, best to not use this.
@@Margatatials my growing season is so short I usually end up keeping only one pumpkin on each plant, because if I don’t they don’t get big before they start dying off in the fall.
Yes, it just takes a little longer. Depending on which zone you’re in and the length of season. Hormones just speed the process. Cinnamon and/or honey work too.
Huh first time grower and I kinda figured this one out on my own (albeit, your method is far more intentional). I'm curious though, is it advantageous to continue watering every node or should I just water the main stem?
I am a 3rd gen Pumpkin farmer and the Atlantic giant is my family’s best seller. We get them to vine out on their own by applying granular 19-19-19 fertilizer (percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and pot ash. For best results use seeds treated with Farmore. It makes the seedling resistant to various diseases for the seedling stage.
Can you add in your video is the time of year and temperature you’re planting and how much sun I would so appreciate it. Your garden is very inspirational. It’s the next movement
I did this for years with weed! It’s called super cropping! In just 30days of vegetation the canopy of only one plant in a hydroponic bucket would be 6feet by 6feet wide! due to the low stress training it also causes the plant to have huge branches and extremely raise THC and resin levels naturally! The only downside is your “flowers” wont be as huge as they would be normally! Instead of them being the size of a 2L bottle they become more around the size of a 1L! But still due to the increased amount of “flowers” you will end up with alot more doing this! (Im in Canada and had a licence to grow)
Pumpkin tips are so tasty! You just need to know how to clean them and remove the excess "fur," but if you ever try it, it's an unforgettable and unique, almost buttery taste.
Blessings on your new home and your upcoming baby 🙏🏻 Wanted to ask Can I mix different polen varieties to crooss pollinate? Like mixing ecuador palora, american beauty and SG to pollinate each one or other varieties
We eat the stems, flowers and leaves in Greece. They're even tastier than the actual pumpkins or zucchinis. I like to cook them in a stew kind of way with tomato sauce. We call it kolokythokorfades or korfades. Absolutely looking forward every summer just for having them ❤️
The logic is sound. Instead of many stems making mant pumpkins. All those stems are absorbing nutrients to provide even more neutrian to the lone pumpkin. Givinf it more nutrictian then all the small pumpkins could get.
This propagation technique is called layering. Layering is a method of plant propagation that involves growing roots on a stem while the stem is still attached to the parent plant. The technique was invented in the 1850s.
No need to do so. Use garden staples to force the node closely touch the ground is good enough, once root grow, pluck the garden staple out and do the same next section/few section. These years the cucumber beetles damaged so many squashes, zucchinis, cucumbers, even cape gooseberry now! What a bugger! It is very hard to kill them all if grow organically.
I live in a small apartment but for some reason this info feels really useful 🤔 I'll store it in my long term memory while forgetting i don't even have space for a big plant pot
Good to know I wondered if this was okay that my butternut was trying to root to the ground. I will let it be in that case. Great tips and info as always, sir! 👍😃
I've never seen that many perfect leaves .... Powdery mildew has always effected every kind of squash fam type... And I've lived literally all over the world
Hey guys....this doesn't JUST grow giant pumpkins! This tip also foils the dreaded vine borer. The larvae that kills squash vines isnt stopped by this, but the plant had so many roots along the vine that it can live and produce more fruit- even if the vine is turned into swiss cheese by the borers !
This makes sense as vines like to put down roots at all their nodes. I do this with my vining houseplants to make them stronger and fuller.
And sweet potatoes. Every a leaf node that roots grows more sweet potatoes.
You can do this with regular Ivys (houseplants) ?? 😮

Sending 12 pumpkins worth of energy and nutrients to a single pumpkin woah
You cut the stem almost all the way through when cutting the little pumpkin. Did it die or the area just hardened when left alone? God bless.
Makes sense actually. More roots = more nutrients for the plant. More nutrients means possibility for larger fruit.

Root hormone not necessarily needed for pumpkin vines. When I do this it only takes a day or two for them to send out roots on their own
Salam perkenalan Indonesia hadir, mau tanya kalau boleh tahu apa nama bubuk yang berwarna putih itu ? Terima kasih atas perhatiannya,
I bury mine above ground. You really should look into it. It'll change your life.
A good thing to remember if you grow pumpkins.
I live in a small apartment but for some reason this info feels really useful 🤔 I'll store it in my long term memory while forgetting i don't even have space for a big plant pot
the unthinkable for me was not burial of stems, it was removing ever single pumpkin BUT ONE..
Good to know I wondered if this was okay that my butternut was trying to root to the ground. I will let it be in that case. Great tips and info as always, sir! 👍😃
Would I be able to do this with regular pumpkins?
Ive heard of “over burying” tomatoes but i never understood why it worked, cool that the same theory applies to other plants too!
I've never seen that many perfect leaves .... Powdery mildew has always effected every kind of squash fam type... And I've lived literally all over the world
Even watering alone along that stem must help!
I thought you did the trench just to give the vine an easier path to grow. Makes sense to bury it
I hope it works well for you!!!
Thanks for the tip! Any ideas how to keep beetles off? They kill my pumpkins every year 🙁
Can you please any link to buy the rooting hormones.Thank you
Hey guys....this doesn't JUST grow giant pumpkins! This tip also foils the dreaded vine borer. The larvae that kills squash vines isnt stopped by this, but the plant had so many roots along the vine that it can live and produce more fruit- even if the vine is turned into swiss cheese by the borers !
Thank you for that secret.
The key to having huge pumpkins is to have a big black dog watch over it
