    Have you ever grown pumpkins? If so, were they a success and what would you do differently if you were to grow them again?

      Threw out a hundred or so seeds just to see what happened.
      At least 90% successfully sprouted.
      I have a crazy jungle of pumpkin leaves and vines 😂

    I love that this guy shows the good the bad and the ugly
    You can normally type in how to grow a pumpkin patch
    And people normally say
    Plant a seed
    Get good soil
    And walla a nice pumpkin patch...wrong !!!!
    It's a lot more than that and this guy shows it

    Awesome video sir! My son is 9 and buried an entire pumpkin last fall, as his own little experiment. It is actually thriving and he was researching how to make it the best possible!
    Your video was so educational
    to him and helpful!
    Thank you!

    The pic you had of squash vine borer was actually a pic of a squash bug which pierces fruit and leaves scars. Squash vine borer is a colorful black and orange moth that looks kind of wasp like.

  • @edwardschneider2716

    I know organically grown is favored by many. But the grass/weeds help harbor insects. Either spray or pull to help you here.
    Also add some trap plants such as Hubbard squash to attract insects away from your main patch. Keep those sprayed as well

    The grass will grow long again. The pumpkin will grow through it.
    Does this need some sort of action or will it be ok? Thick hay?

    The leaves allow the solution to rundown their stems toward the roots. There aren't specialized absorptive apparatus by plants leaves. I loclve this video. Quick. I could've followed. Thanks.

    • @lucasgrowsbestyt
      @lucasgrowsbestyt  Рік тому

      Surprisingly leaves do actually absorb nutrients, although there is some debate about how this exactly occurs. Check out this article: ipm.missouri.edu/MPG/2019/4/foliarFeeding/

    Hello‚ I'm looking for a pumpkin for Halloween but make sure it's a good size. Do you think that the sugar pie pumpkin meets that characteristic? what variety is the one you used beforehand thank you very much for your answer

    • @lucasgrowsbestyt
      @lucasgrowsbestyt  Рік тому

      Pie pumpkins aren't the best for Jack-O-Lanterns... they are too small. Just check the description and see if it mentions "large" or "jack-o-lantern". Not sure which one you are referring to...?

    is it possible to have a male pumpkin plant? I have a ton of flowers on my Jarrahdale pumpkin vine but no fruit. I would love any suggestions or advice on what to do as i am running out of time to get some fruit to grow, my community garden closes oct 15. Thanks

    • @lucasgrowsbestyt
      @lucasgrowsbestyt  Рік тому

      It's possible, I don't know. Normally pumpkins plants have both male and female flowers, with a higher ratio of males to females.

    The pollination process with male & female always confuses me

    • @lucasgrowsbestyt
      @lucasgrowsbestyt  2 роки тому +1

      Male flowers have long stems behind them, whereas the female flowers have an unfertilized fruit behind them. When pollen is transferred from the male flower to female flower successfully, the fruit will grow and develop. Is there something in particular you don't understand?

    Sorry to hear of your troubles again.(i watched you plant) Need better soil. Healther, non-disease plants survive better! Sorry to hear you went non organic pesticide. There are plenty of organics that work. How far down wind is the rest of your garden, tomatoes and peppers? You can't wait untill the pests are so out of control. Especially since you had knowledge of the Beatles in the area.Before you start such an adventure, especially if it is a dream, you need to plan. Plan not what and where only, but what ifs, as well. Plenty of research and video out there.Look, ask before you start. I row cover till flowers, watch daily, pick and spray.
