    I watched the whole video. I loved it! This is my first time trying to grow a giant pumpkin. I've had trouble with squash bugs and cucumber beetles. My first one died. I'm hoping the second pumpkin will make it through somehow even though it has been the attack of the bugs. It is growing bigger daily now I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

      @QuantumPetshop  3 роки тому

      I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the red frame he's lifting with, that's something he had made, it's steel welded. If you mean the boards in the back of the truck, that is just a pallet and some plywood and pink foam core. :)

      @@QuantumPetshop sorry put the time stamp 1:11:20. The wood frames that he has the pumpkins on.
      After looking at it i have an idea.
      (Newbie here just trying to find better ways to move it. Not growing record pumpkins. Just growing because I like to. Last year had about 200 lb one, an brother and I man handle it on a garden trailer. So it could be in the front yard. If I could hook up a chain to a wood platforms, then pull it with garden tractor would be great)

      @@IAmHumanJake Ha, no problem. It's all backyard engineering! I've moved 300-ish pounders with blankets and a couple people. Many times its blankets and pulling across the yard. (FWIW, it's out the back of a minivan and into the yard, man-handled all the way.) The board there in the video, and dragging them around, makes it look easy because it is. I don't specifically remember anything about that, but get something under them and drag away! Good luck!

      Victor Cordero It depends on your geography. You want to plant them after the risk of frost is over. You can google your location to see when that is.

    11:52 This wife is so clueless, sorry. "Pretty soon we'll have nothing but garden", basically there is nothing without the garden, a flat boring lawn is "something"? I almost thought she was being sarcastic but I can sense by her other comments and expression she really doesnt agree with the garden. How sad she can't appreciate him.
