The good the bad and the ugly...aint that the truth. Great video,very informative, very nice, thanx for sharing, Randy
Yes it is a sad reality of us giant growers that we will run into the good the bad and the ugly hopefully at the end of the day it’s more good!! I do thank you so much for watching these videos I really appreciate it!! Grow’em Big!!
Impressive, awesome video, new friend here.
Thanks for watching!! I really appreciate it friend!!
Awesome update. Keep up the hard work 😎
Thanks 😊 I’m giving it a great fight!!
One of your pumpkins is the equivalent of both my front and backyards combined 🤣🤣🤣
Well at my rate I probably won’t have any pumpkins left here in a week or two lol….
Plenty of season left you’ll get some monsters I know it!!!
@@GardenofGiants what you mean you won't have any pumpkins left in a week?! They still need to get 3000lbs 🤣
Also, on the Red Beefsteak, I have 2-3 double megas (one sexy one) and then secretly, one pollinated that seems to be a 3-4 and all pollinated. Bit late to focus on the one but sure as heck will see how big they will get lol
Well if I can get 2000 pounds I will be thrilled Beyond belief!!!
That is so awesome that your beef steaks are throwing these double, and triple megas!! I wanna see a monster from you!
@@GardenofGiants working on it!
The double Mega probably approaching half a pound now. But let's see. I'll save from the largest tomato on this plant and send ya seeds. Maybe you can like breed with some of yours or whatever. Meanwhile, I'll try Domingo next season. I doubt the Big Zac this year will do much tbh lol
But next year...let's see what happens lol
That would be awesome 👏
I was hoping to see your long gourds
Longgourds next week I promise
@@GardenofGiants these videos are so helpful. I'm learning every step of the way
I love hearing about your season, this is so interesting! I hope Andy and I can try again soon! And I hope you get the pumpkin you’re hoping for!
Thanks for watching!!! Yes you definitely have to try and if you need seeds I got plenty!!
Last year I had a pumpkin abort at 500lbs. It had the identical white spots. I attributed it to too much compost which then retained too much water which resulted in disease. My mistake.
The rest of your patch looks very strong!
That’s how mine started years ago.
The battle continues!🤦🏻
Oh what a sick feeling it would be to have a 500 pound to go down on you I just can’t even comprehend that. I truly hope you never have to deal with that again!! Thanks I’m gonna do what I can to keep the rest of the patch happy
Well it’s your first season at the new place, you are bound to find some issues. I hope it turns around for you. 🎃❤️👍🏼
Thanks hopefully I can keep it to just a few bad plants and the rest I’ll do phenomenal
What a bummer. 14 years and about my 5th year disease started. Those stumps are normal in my patch now because I can’t rotate living in the city.
Taking the year off for the first time ever and working on my 3rd cover crop. I’ve been given a pretty good cover crop routine and some good chemicals for 2024.
Such a bummer and disease is never fun. 1700 1800 is about all you can get with heavy disease.
I’m hoping this year off and what we have planned for next year helps.🙏🏽
Good luck and thanks for sharing!:)
Your plants look beautiful!
Have you tried burning your soil?dig it out and replace it? If you can’t move that might be things you can try.
Oh wow that would be so depressing and stressful…. I really hope everything comes around for you and you have an amazing 2024!!! Hopefully I can work out the issues in my patch otherwise I might be asking for some advice from you lol
Thanks so much!
Do the heat cables add much to the electricity bill? I assume they are low energy like the heat tape we use on our water pipes.
We are definitely putting them in the pumpkin patch next year.
Thanks again for the videos
No I don’t really notice any increase in my bill with the electric heat cables…. They are lower watt, they keep the temperature about 70 and if you have a hoop house over them it kind of insulates the ground and keeps it real steady so they’re not cranking all the time.
Thanks for watching!!
@GardenofGiants that's what I thought. We use the little heaters yall use under the house too.
Thanks. Ttyl
If growing field pumpkin, do you treat it the same way as a giant pumpkin
For the most part…. I would grow them in a Christmas tree pattern set a pumpkin 10 to 15 feet out however know that a Field Pumpkin will mature in as little as 30 days upwards of 50 days whereas a AG will go 100 days
@@GardenofGiants that's great to know thanks.
Last year I had a foaming crown early August. I cut all the way through crown and cleaned it out daily. It still grew 300+ afterwards and ended up weighing 1029. Not sure why but personally, I think I over watered.
That’s great you were able to get some growth after you cut it. I decided just to take the whole plant out. I grow so much I don’t really have time to baby one plant…. And the two pumpkins I had on the plant both aborted so I’d literally be starting over with pollination and just didn’t want to deal with it.
