- There's nothing quite like harvesting from your personal pumpkin patch!!!
The pumpkin garden began a slow start to the season, but over time it picked up the pace and now the verdict is in. It has always been a dream of mine to grow a pumpkin patch, and I am happy to have had the opportunity to finally make it happen. Although it is far from perfect, the patch has been a great learning experience for me and in the end I was able to harvest some great pumpkins, Charlie Brown!

Came for the pumpkins, stayed for the spooky music.
And the pumpkins are so spooky they’re coming for you!
You have no idea how much joy this gave me. This is EXACTLY what I want to do when I get land!
Great to hear!
Same
It’s clear you love what you do.
I absolutely love this patch! This is exactly something that I hope to do someday!
Congrats man! It’s no easy task to grow a successful pumpkin patch. Great work.
Lucas. I'm a grower in Chicago. I'm starting a pumpkin patch. It's 120ft x 70 feet.
Questions.....
How far apart do you plant your plant starts?
How far apart are your rows?
Do you ever direct sow?go you water constantly?
We just sent up the patch w all wood chips. We will be planting into mounds of compost in the spring. I'm in Chicago zone 5b.
Please and thank you.
Wow.!!!! that's awesome.
I also hope to be frolicking around all 9 of my plants to celebrate a first successful pumpkin harvest this Fall lol. Can’t wait! 🎃
In Australia the major pumpkin we grow is the Queensland Blue which we roast, boil, mash as a major vegetable. It is picked when the stem dies off.
This is amazing Lucas! You grew sooo many good-looking pumpkins! Looks like a lot of work to move all those pumpkins to line them up at the end.
Wowza! Amazing harvest! It'd be awesome if you could sell them. Wouldn't be hard for a better price (any money you make would be a bonus), or I suppose you could donate them, if there's a church or group you'd be comfortable supporting. You had a great year with this project!
Thanks, I sold most of them and kept some for Halloween!!!
@@lucasgrowsbestyt How much did you sell them for?
@@Willow_and_Sage big ones are $15 in the grocery store! 40 years ago I sold them as a kid for $5 each!
*takes notes*
Amazing pumpkin harvest! YOU ARE THE PUMPKIN KING!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I always love watching your new uploads,,, beautiful bounty and inspiring 🥰🥰🥰
So impressed with your harvest and how your garden turned out! Especially love the pumpkins! Nice halloween music to go with the pumpkin harvest!
Great JOB Lucas ... They're GORGEOUS !!!: )
That Orange Color is so refreshing looking.
Thanks for showing your Bounty, truly Amazing !
What a great harvest of pumpkins! And what a lot of work to put them together like you did to put on the channel. The pics were amazing. What did you end up doing with them all? I love growing pumpkins more than anything else, I think. This year (2022) we got nipped by an early frost last Wed. here in Poland so many of my plants died - at least parts of them did. I did harvest quite a few, but hopefully they will just continue to ripen close by the house. They aren't nearly as gorgeous as yours though!
Thanks Becky! Your words are too kind :) I ended up keeping a bunch for Halloween and selling the rest at a local produce auction. That's too bad about the frost, but there's always next season!
@@lucasgrowsbestyt Yes...gardeners are perennial optimists...:)
Wow! That's a lot of pumpkin and I'm just happy to watch, I want to harvest many pumpkins too but
me last year I got only 2pumpkin🤣🤣🤣
same
A very rewarding harvest
Congratulations Lucas! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful harvest! 🤩
They all came out great.
Amazing seeing them all lined up!
Took me a while to do that but I thought it was worth it. Glad someone else does too :)
Great video, thanks for sharing. I was curious about your method of using the black plastic as opposed to using herbicides. We are looking to start our pumpkin farm this year and are debating herbicides verse plastic. Also was curious about how you actually planted the seeds. Did you simply do by punching holes in the plastic and planting by hand or did you use a mechanical planter of some sort. Thanks again!
Thanks for your comment! I highly recommend using plastic. I had to use pesticides once for cucumber beetles but I try to keep things as toxin-free as possible. No herbicides were used. It is a pain to install and remove if you do it manually like I did, so rent/buy a machine or don't bother. I sowed the seeds in cell trays and transplanted the plugs by hand after cutting holes in the plastic mulch using a knife. My method was extremely labour-intensive so can't stress enough to get the right tools/equipment. Definitely check out my half acre playlist for more detail: ruclips.net/p/PLBMgEHe5hSghZtrVvZ-HfKznF1IMxkNI6
That was AWESOME, So I have a question for you or any Pumkinner's , So far I've asked quite a few growers who are posting information and so far no one has commented back. So help please ! here's the question what do you do with all the vines after harvest?
Just let them rot on the field
Pretty impressive harvest!! Whatever you're going to do with them, enjoy :)
Thanks! Sold most, carved the rest for Halloween! 🎃
Your videos are a visual treat, my friend. The attention to detail and creative flair make each one a masterpiece. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Thanks for the kind words!
Congratulations on a job well done!
There are pumpkins... EVERYWHERE
Maybe I missed it, but what variety are the white? Such a fun size and beautifully white!
Blanco!
Such a blessed harvest! Are you planning to plant more pumpkins next year?
so you got 182 regular pumpkins, 36 pie, & 80 white ones for a total of about 300 on 1/8 acre in 11 rows! with no irrigation. I bet you could of gotten double that if you had irrigation. Pretty impressive. I want to do this at a 1/4 acre at my kids elementary school. how much labor per week should I expect? I was thinking of laying down landscape woven plastic fabric so there woudl not be any weeds. Not sure if that's a good idea since the vines self root though. Maybe lay it donw for the first month and then remove it so the vines have a good head start.
If you aren't using herbicide I would say weed barrier is a must. I wouldn't remove it until after harvest time. Once things are planted and the vines start to take off, not much labour is required.
That's amazing 👍
Looks like you had a pretty successful harvest. Would you be willing to share the name of the company where you buy your seeds?

Well done! I have a question. How did you keep from mowing over the vines in the walking paths?? Do you move the vines while you're mowing? I keep having issues with this....and if i don't mow, well the weeds just TAKE OVER! HELP!! ha ha
I guess most of these plants were short/medium vine rather than long vine varieties, so they didn't creep onto the walkways much. There were a few casualties though haha. I think farmers use herbicides to keep the weeds down. But then again, I've been to pumpkin patches that are full of weeds.
I had a pumpkin too
awesome produce!!! :)
Nice pumpkin 🎃
Start at each end and work them to the middle, it’s quicker
well done I have a question please..how did you do the watering for all thos pumpkins ? did you have a drip irrigation system underneath the plastic ?
I just watered the plants by hand several times early in the season, and afterwards let nature take its course. Luckily we had some decent rain last season. Here is a video showing my half acre garden irrigation setting: ruclips.net/video/uRAej4dvsAM/видео.html
@@lucasgrowsbestyt wow thats impressive !!!. I come from Malta and summer season is very hot here. I have a couple of pumpkin plants in a field that I cannot water very often was wondering how you manged to be this successful with your crops. I guess summer in canada is not that bad. Well done again and keep up the good work with your vids !!!
Help! I tried for 3 years now to win the battle with squash bugs. Any tips?
Unfortunately, pesticide is really the only sure-fire answer as far as I can tell. There are lots of natural remedies you can find online but whether they work is hit or miss. You could try planting a “trap crop” i.e. a squash variety that is sacrificed.
How often were you watering?
Great
Well done. Where can I order for the seeds please.
but why do made long difference between plants? Beautiful farm though,your answer is very important to me.
I realize that I could have spaced the rows closer together, but this was my first time growing pumpkins on a larger scale. Good to know for the future!
@@lucasgrowsbestyt you have beautiful land If it was me I would plant legumes in between.
Nice video .I bought 1 jack o lantern for Halloween from super market in Sydney cost me 17 dollars .how much are yours.
Like $4 for a large one
Использую посадки тыквы для борьбы с сорняками на своей даче, для чего сажаю длинноплетистую тыкву. А так как вкус тыквы не люблю, а только люблю жаренные семена, то сею только один сорт Голосемянную, у которой семена без оболочки и огромная листва, которая полностью покрывает землю и не дает расти сорнякам.
And here I am... waiting for my two pumpkin plants to grow those three sad pumpkins big enough lol. So disappointing. I did everything one is supposed to do. 😪😭
It's tricky, don't give up!!! 😃👍
I wish can grow pumpkin here in Philippines
Did you manage to sell them all
Most... kept some for myself 😆
no wild jack rabbits / wild life to come and destroy ?
Nope! But I did have some issues with cucumber beetles.
what variety is the white one
Blanco F1.
How many plants per row to get the 20 plus big orange pumpkins?
he said he had 30 of the white pumpkin plants in a row, so I assume he planted them all about 30 per row so that means rows 1 through 9 each only had 1 pumpkin per plant! I would of guessed more. so maybe I am wrong.
You could donate some pumpkins to a zoo. Many animals will eat pumpkins including elephants and tortoises.
I hope he sold the rest, he could make some serious money off of the pumpkins.
Dude...ugh...WHY didn't you teach us viewers anything about how you grew them??!!!! You mentioned you tried 3 previous times and were all pretty much failures, but this piece of land you rented and grew them in..you were finally successful. Super. But who really cares if we don't know who you are?? You need to TEACH the viewer, what specifically did you do that got you such good looking pumpkins?? I came on here to learn...so let me help you possibly help me.
-Did you start from seed? Plant spacing at start?
-What soil did you use? Did you dig a whole and backfill with just field dirt? WHAT DID YOU DO/USE..AND HOW?
-Did you control the plant growth with trimming? Add nutrients? If so .. when and what type and how much?
-Did you rototill the soil before planting? Amend of some time used?
-How did you water them, and how often?
-Obviously you used black plastic sheeting. Roots like that kind of heat?
Get the picture? Lol. Please help bro..yur pumpkins look amazing. I'm jealy...and annoyed.
Hahaha! A future video, I think. The truth is, I didn't do much. There was no magic here, besides the fact that we got decent rain last season. Cruddy farm soil was used, just tilled to a depth of about 6". Hardy, hybrid seed was sown in cells and transplanted to the field in early June. Check out my other half acre videos to get an idea of the process. Ultimately just planted and watched 'em grow :)
Donate to school in need. Some kids have never seen a real pumpkin before.
