Planting Pumpkins For The Perfect Halloween Jack-o'-lantern

- If you want your pumpkins to be ready for harvest a couple weeks before Halloween, you've got to get them in the ground by absolutely no later than the first of July, but even earlier would be better. Here's how we did it.

I’m getting ready to plant pumpkins. Thanks for sharing. That’s so kind what u said about your wife. I’m sure you made her day!
I am a combat vet and I appreciate this patriotic gardening video. I live in the Smokey Mountains region of East Tennessee, so this video was particularly helpful to me. I have an old, creepy house with a little land and an adopted black cat, pumpkin mounds will be the perfect addition for our Autumn home.
Gregory Hadley Ha! I was just saying we live in East Tennessee, we have a small home but a large piece of land with several mountain ranges behind it. There is an old wood mill that used to take lumber from the mountains. All sorts of bottles and collectibles in there!!! We love where we moved!
Gregory Hadley But back to behind the barn, at the bottom near the creek are the remains of an old wood mill and brick and mortar building from the late 1800’s. There are bottles 100% preserved under the clay that has accumulated. Some filled with honey still, some Coca-Cola, some just no writing but TN, and have liquor in them which is more like gasoline now 😂. Amazing how things can be preserved!!!
Thank you for your service Hadley! Tennessee is a pleasant place. I spent some time in Clarksville two of my kids were born there, I was to busy to enjoy it but sure did love it.
Gregory Hadley, thank you for your service!
Thank you men for your service! God Bless You both.
You are so sweet to your wife!
oh my word, you were born the same year my sweet husband and I were married - three months after I graduated! Aug 30, 1973 - one of my favorite days in history!
Very informative and well put together. Came for the pumpkins and stayed for the stories!!
Thanks for the video. Thanks for your service.
I served in Iraq too. I put hay on top of my mounds and around them to keep moisture in and weeds down. North Alabama here. Roll Tide.
Keep enjoying life, you deserve it!
Iv been gardening for four years and I'm going to get my dirt from the woods this year to see how it does. It makes the most sence to me and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.
I'm from angelica ny
It’s July baby! Time for me to plant pumpkin seeds for the first time ever.
Mine growing out so fast.... This my first time.... I got 2 and they about 20 feet already.... What should I do?
@@keyroncampbell if its the pumpkins harvest it and then replant. i hope you can make more pumpkins so keep planting!
@@gracielasantosduarte9896 I ended up growing 16... It went out of control....
It's gonna be July and I've never planted pumpkins before so I'm gonna plant some
l just came over from your homemade Japanese beetle trap video. What a great idea with the sled. I see lots of potential applications. Thanks for the reminder to get those pumpkins in, consider me subscribed.
I love how realistic you are in your teaching! 😂 “ima use this $1100 mower”
keep us updated on how the pumpkins are doing ! subbed
Wow Kevin after I learn how to plant pumpkins I can go directly to watching your woods with you!
Great video! I really enjoy watching your journey with your family and land.
Since my elderly Mom has taken few steps back due to her 98 th year I will get another small pumpkin and we will cut it in her room at the nursing home. We were raised eating pumpkin jam I get her also hold it and smell and i will take it home cook it for her enjoyment And return with a baby jar and take some family pictures. For all future generations. The pure joys of life. Thanks for allowing me the privilege to pour my heart..you have a real pot of gold at the of your 🌈....
thanks for the fine education and simple humility
thanks for your service
i was born in 1956 and i learn something from you and your fine family every time
almost wet myself the time your son spoke about mom's happiness while picking in the garden!
That first item you showed looks like it could be a piece of some stone wear. Like those brown and tan pottery jugs. No idea on the age but you see them frequently in antique shops.
Awe! You guys are so cute! Love your team work!
Thank you for your service! I found this video to be very helpful, I’m going to plant some pumpkin seeds tomorrow! Thank you for making this!
Mahalo for the information. You were very very helpful for myself and mother to do this project with my girls, her grand-children! :)
You both are AWESOME! I am in Oregon off the coast N of Newport. I just find you and so happy I did!! Your teaching people how to garden SMART! I love it!
You guys are so sweet, love that she's "the most beautiful woman in the world!" Thank you for this video, I planted my pumpkins last week, they probably won't be ready for Halloween but it'll be fun to watch them grow anyway. Maybe they'll be ready in time as porch decor for Thanksgiving!
Thank you for your video, now I am planting my first time pumpkin in my backyard
So I still have time good to know thank you
As you know, Euphrates flows through Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris together they formed the fertile Crescent which made Western civilization possible. I hope to buy had a price of property that have three water sources, what a wonderful resource.
HEYYYYY KEVIN!!!!!! IT'S 2021 !!! LOL I WENT THROUGH ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND FOUND THE VERY FIRST ONE I EVER WATCHED!!! IT'S THIS ONE ABOUT PLANTING PUMPKINS... HA HA
Drop a bunch of wood chips there... it will take a season, but it would add a lot to the soil. It will help with aeration, moisture retention, and nutrients. It will raise the acidity of the soil for a bit, but some lime will counteract it easily.
Ya had me at $1100 Troy built mower! Haha
I live in East Tennessee and yesterday I planted a pumpkin and I was watching your video you really helped
Great informative video, I will plan for the next July. I know the feeling you get in the garden and especially the black soil that smells very earthy and rich. I enjoy the smell of fresh cut grass and the outdoors minus the carbon, I like the quiet to where I can hear birds sing and leaves on trees blow. Your video was comforting. Great thanks to you and your wife. Thank you for your service battle!
This is one of the most down-to-earth videos I've ever seen! I usually work as a photographer/content creator, chasing the recent advanced edited videos with "swoosh" "woosh" effects! :D Drawing back and just watching a simple and very natural video like this made me so joyous and calm! I thank you sincerely for that! I absolutely love this! Keep up the good work and I will be looking forward to plant some pumpkins today! :)
Love and greetings from Sweden! :)
Good video as always
Amazing video Brother! Thanks for all the information, I planted pumpkin seeds for the first time in June of this year, I'm in Brooklyn, NY. Hopefully I'll get some beautiful pumpkins for Halloween! Just subbed!!!
Gotta subscribe! Northern Virginia here!
Thank you for demonstrating proper pumpkin seed planting, my hubby and I are planning to leave california and have a farm near Eugene Or...we would love to have a punkin patch for the local children to come visit...God Bless You and your family!
Roseburg here! Well, Canyonville now. But watching before pumpkin season.
Well done
I love the sled idea! Definitely going to be doing that!
Out Country sfhhgxssd
Awesome video! I forgot what I was here for halfway through the video. I was digging into all the good info you gave before you got to the pumpkin mounds!
That coca cola bottle makes me imagine two teenage lovers sneaking off to the woods to enjoy a coke together alone. 💖
That’s wholesome as long as they don’t do any dirty things :))
. like make mud pies .
You earned a subscriber!
I'm in South Central PA and I always plant around July 4th. Right after I dig up my potatoes, I break out the cow dung and plant the pumpkins. By second week of October, sometimes late September, (go figure that weirdness) I've got lots and lots of Halloween décor.
Love you and your Wifes videos!!
The Bigfoot brought me here ..... The knowledge had me stay
Hey hey what do ya know I was looking into fall planting and good old crazy Lake pops up from 4 yrs ago 😄
I read that to dramatically increase worms in the soil use cornmeal and cardboard or newspaper dug lightly in the dirt
Real Virginia Man U spit on the bottle to clean it off...good info just planted my seeds today .
Love your mower tractor. Lol
I'm in New jersey I jus started put my seeds in some water I hope I'm not to early
I live on a farm in Maine. It looks very much like Virginia, just not as hot or mountainous.
Hello from Vermont!
Awesome! With some words of wisdom
Thank you guys so much for the video!
Did you get your pumpkins? About to plant my seeds, thanks for the video! It is July 5th..in VA, hopefully I make it in time lol
We're in the Philippines...wonder if big jack o lantern pumpkins would grow here. ??
Awesome video !
Hey!!! I use that exact sled to move stuff around my place! I pull mine with my 4 wheeler.
I’m in a mess my pumpkins were accidentally killed I have only one plant left rowing I started in June 😭 so I’m planting mini pumpkins an hoping my one plant makes more then one pumpkin. The one plant has a pumpkin growing I’m just shocked this happened but nothing we can do. The fence installer was very sorry they accidentally dropped the load of fence on top of the path by the time my husband realized it was to late for them to come back and move it if the patch.
I got to do that with a sled
Nice video. I can offer you maybe some helpful advice. Go to your local village and check with them about getting the black gold you referred to. Sometimes it’s free, or super cheap and you can mix it in with your clay soil! Before long you will have the same soil as your Mesopotamian patch!
Awesome video bud!! If i may give a couple suggestions on how to richen that soil, all natural. Get woodchips from a fresh cut tree, and dig random holes in the garden area. Bury handfulls of chips and recover with the original soil. Also if you have a dog, bury the dog poop in the garden. Water heavily. unless plenty of rain. let sit a few days. Turn the dirt every week and spread the dirt into spots lacking the chips or poop. It'll all break down fast and provide plenty of nutrition to the soil. After doing this for a couple weeks and further, you won't have to do much just keep up on weeds growing. try it out, and i bet you'll have the best soil in town 👍
AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you! Very helpful video.
Was wondering how much water the seeds and plants need?
chickens would love to help you garden with your Fertile Crescent soil.
Can I plant them in June? I'm trying to grow them for Halloween and Thanksgiving
You can, but you’ll have to do a little bit earlier Harvesting. You’ll have to harvest a few in around early August.
I need pumpkins for mid November I'm in South Mississippi and have great soil, I just grew a bunch of mammoth sunflowers that are blooming now so it's been a good season for me even through the heat, but do you think it is too late for me to plant some pumpkins?
My seeds sprouted up in like 2 days, now a week later they're already about a foot out, I am so surprised, I wasn't ready for them to do that,i was still working on my 3 sisters planting thing, my corn isn't coming so quickly, green beans are already going up the fence I've got a couple feet away, they just reached over to that instantly before I got my poles up after realizing my corn would take more work and time I guess. Idk. My pumpkins though are what I'm most excited about though,and they're off to an awesome start. I'm just wondering though, I planted 4 seeds in each mound, do I need to spread them out or will they be ok with all 4 growing out of the one mound, the mounds are far apart, but the 4 in one mound are fairly close to each other
Hey what’s the cucumber salad recipe if you still have it by chance? Thank you!
Kevin that looks like a piece to an old bean pot, 1800's or early 1900's
Your soil should be rototilled first before mixing in the richer soil. They make hand tillers that look like very wide pit forks that you can stand on and easily till.
love this! I'm in NJ and that's the sled I use too to drag my compost! The yellow rope as well.
Every man knows they are married to the most beautiful woman in the world 👍
We live on a similar property. Out behind the barn there is a large mountain, at the bottom is a creek, we take our soil from there, but we find spear points, pottery, even old sea crustaceans and we are in eastern TN. Anyway, when it comes to the pumpkin, doesn’t it need to have female flowers that become fertilized?
I'm planning on some urban pumpkin farming for a suburb here near Detroit. With the large leaves, is there a danger of large pests like rats finding shelter or collecting around the pumpkin patches? I just don't want to create a hazard for the homeowners. So I suppose rabbits would be OK but mice or rats would get into homes. Thanks!! Your wife is beautiful if I might say.
So many worms in here, that's because your shovel chopped them up into a million pieces 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Happy 4th, a year late.
Im from South TX and.... I got 60 days..they are growing tho!!!
You may have found the garbage pile
Work smarter not harder with the tools you have.
What zone are you in?
What about the worms ?I am having a horrible time keeping them out of my plants .
👍
What about living up in Wisconsin
5:35 kill 2 birds with one stone, drag over the soil and do the mowing on the way
Try Morgan county seeds , their the best
They’re, the best.
How do you stop squash bugs
You squash em!
I use to live in mesopotamia
incredible amateur camera operator
I'm, eight years, older then you.
Thank you for the pumpkin lesson. I also like how you did your cucumbers - now I'm getting hungry 9-)
