Hello, this year was the first time to tried to garden. I’m talking full raised, protected and everything. Complete failure and waste. I also planted some pumpkin seeds, and first set took off. And bam vine borers tried to fish them out but was too late. However I tossed some wasted seeds over the hill side and boy did they take off. I have 3 pumpkins taking off one size of a beach ball, the other size 3x ‘a size of a basket ball, the last the size of volleyball. I see a few females trying but then the turn to mush. I started taking off the male flowers and pruning but idk if I’m hurting or helping. Is there. Way I can contact you for tips. I’m not a competitive grower just now hooked for using these guys for Halloween bit I’m hooked on growing them now.
@@docrodebaugh thank you . I bought a probe this year, same as Nick K has, he ran at 55 last year... it has done nothing but rain here in WI..had 5 dry days and my probe is at 57..so i have to contemplate watering for 1st time this year and at what level i am shooting for.
Beautiful pumpkin and melon.
Absolutely great video a lot of people will benefit from this.
This is extremely valuable stuff. Thank you doc.
Thank you Nick. I hope it helps folks to know what I check and how I think.
Great information Doc! Thanks
Thank you
Great video boy it looks like a high wind would truly destroy that thing now that it's grown so high
Thank you. Yeah weather is my #1 worry

Great video Doc! I made a list :)
Thank you Steve
You're a great grower to me. Alot of information comes from your videos like mike and Colorado grower. But was that a banquet? I got to know. 😅
Of course.... Taste of the Rockies in Appalachia.

Please tell me how do I stop all the tershearies (sp)? I am running around cutting them out like mad!
94 pounds! lol
Really learn a lot from your videos, you comment about roots popping out..how wet do you keep ground?
Good question. I try to stay 1-2% below saturation. So if my probe shows saturation at 30% I then shoot for 29-28%.
