- Patches are mostly filled in which means vine burying season is almost behind us. All 4 pumpkins are growing well. Some better than others. I also share how I move the pumpkins as they grow so that they wont tear themselves off the vine.

Great patch tour. Love the videos. Keep doing work.
@@docrodebaugh thanks Doc, it’s nice when the hard labor equals good results. Mother Nature doesn’t alway solve that equation the way you want. 😂
Doc giant pumpkin growinger you video sooo nice
Great shots. Your plants are massive! 🙌
@@evanpagano thanks! Now let’s turn that into a massive pumpkin 😂
Your set up is very professional. I’m growing a Big Max pumpkin and the giant pumpkin world is still pretty new to me. Do you use synthetic nutrients? NPK? How often? Yours are dwarfing mine lol
You should try watermelon a good start would be black diamond it can get up to 125 pounds
WOW
You are doing a great job. When you move the big ones forward I understand getting them free from the side vines but I don't understand how the main vine moves forward without breaking.
@@giantsquash usually you have the vine trained in a kind of “S” shape so you’re just relieving the kink in the “S”. The one in this video is more of a straight line so it’s slightly different. Easier to draw than put into words. Easiest way of thinking about it is the pumpkin expands in all directions equally. And when it expands back towards the vine you have to relieve it.
@@dawson_acres Thanks, I want to believe I understand...LOL
Can I ask what you bury your vines with? Do you add anything when you bury?
@@karrielandis3955 I buy a basic soil mix from my local soil yard. I sprinkle azospirillum and mycorrhizal fungi on the root nodes and then bury with the soil mix.
@dawson_acres Ok thank you so much!
how many kilos are the pumpkins now?
@@user-sk6py2xi2x the 2006 Wolf is 323kgs, 2560 Gienger is 228kgs and the other two are both about 142kgs
Okay tank you bro 😊
have u had a world record pumpkin?
@@troydefond2307 no, definitely not. Top growers have me covered by a lot.
1548? Did you mean 1584?
@@ashleighormsby8232 no, it’s a 1548 Marden grown by a local Napa grower named Andy Marden.
Why do people cover up the pumpkins ?
@@RedDireWolf93 it’s just to protect them from the sun which matures the skin faster which can prevent expansion. Also it’s a first layer of protection from birds, animals, etc.
