    Wow I won a hat! My guess on the Atlantic giant was 187 lbs. I've never won anything, I'm thrilled! You better not be hurting that back Travis because it will come back to haunt you, I know because I've had to have 2 back surgeries from lifting to much weight.

    I’m volunteering to growing a rare squash for monsoon season for a local non profit called native seed search.
    Mayo Blusher Squash. Cucurbita maxima. Looks like a pumpkin.
    The Mayo Blusher Squash produces white to light green fruit with orange flesh and will blush pink when fully ripe. They keep well for months after harvest. I heard it’s tasty staff favorite at NS/S in years prior.
    Collected from the low desert Village of Sinahuisa located in Sonora Mexico in 1982. It's a crop of the Mayo people, "People of the River Bank." They also go by Yoreme, "People who respect tradition." The Mayo are indigenous people in Mexico from Southern Sonora and Northern Sinaloa, who reside mostly near the Mayo River Valley and Fuerte River Valley. I’m excited cause I’ll get to keep half the crop for myself and give the other half to NSS for their seed saving efforts.

    I am growing Seminole pumpkins...they're c. moschata variety. With all my squash, I pour rock salt on the ground immediately after my last harvest and cleaning of the plot. I over-winter the ground with the rock salt as since it kills all of the subterranean pests and diseases. It isn't regular salt (potassium chloride) and so, by the next planting, it will have broken down and serves as fertilizer.

    • @markware7748
      @markware7748 2 года назад

      Huh? Neither rock salt nor table salt are potassium chloride. They're both a form of halite, sodium chloride, which was formed over the millennia by ocean evaporation. Table salt has been refined to remove the impurities and usually has added iodine to prevent goiter. Rock salt is just mined halite with all the impurities included and is not going to break down to a useful fertilizer. I'd be interested to learn which pests and diseases would be eliminated with salt without killing all the microflora present in the soil simultaneously.

      @@markware7748 I had an ag extension agent say that rock salt, like you get from the feed store, is potassium. Table salt is sodium chloride. He said that is why you aren't supposed to cook with rock salt as since it can give heart attack-like symptoms. He contended rock salt is already in chemical fertilizers. He said it would kill nematodes, etc. That was over 25 years ago and I have had fantastic results ever since. We don't get snow here in Florida, but I know of people who deal with that mess. Though most places now use sand for roads, the old timers would say, after a snow, the ground is lush with plants from all the rock salt they put out. So, it is something seemingly once known, maybe not known now, that rock salt promotes healthy plant growth the following year.

      @markware7748 2 года назад

      @@KenJohnsonUSA Ken, this isn't a great forum for a lengthy debate, but I'll put my reputation on the line in saying that you're 100% wrong and that rock salt is poisonous to plants and micro-organisms, despite your Ag extension agent. He may have been talking about sulfate of potash which can come from mined sources and is indeed an important fertilizer component (the K in NPK). Rock salt (halite) is about 96% sodium chloride and has no potassium. I would ask you to look up rock salt on the internet before encouraging others to apply it to their gardens.

    You done well for your first go at it in a less than favorable place to grow them! Mine are just starting to grow so hopefully I’ll hit 1350 3 times! Growing fall pumpkins I just planted those out as well, Jarradale, white boer, Cinderella, cushaw, store bought AG, and a few different gourds. Biggest thing here is making sure plants stay dry to avoid powdery mildew so I quit watering 2 hours before sunset and I use big box fans to keep them as dry as possible from dew at night. Use Daconil, fungi max, complete disease control to help out as well and pump the phosphorus and potassium to them as well as calcium and boron.

    Yeah, I was getting concerned watching you try to lift that pumpkin by yourself. Was afraid you'd hurt your back really bad again. Not what you really wanna do, I'm sure! But I was surprised how large a load of each variety of pumpkins that you got out of your garden this season! I'll have to look into those Jade Night varieties. Here in VA, my first frost date is October 20th. And day before yesterday I bit the bullet and attempted to replant about 4 or 5 Kakai hulless pumpkin seeds, in hopes that I'll get really close to full maturity before the frost date comes. Of course frost can come early, though I'm praying 🙏 since we've had such a hot summer, that the warm days may spread further out and postpone our actual first frost. Really been doing that with A LOT of seeds! I've been almost exclusively the only one planting the gardens for my family, and we've also been dealing with my parents not being well lately. But we decided to buy our own cultivator tiller this year, so I could work the garden whenever I could just get outside and get things done. But regardless of that, I've gotten extremely behind getting things planted and transplanted. So, I'm almost just throwing seeds into the ground by the handfuls in desperation 🤣. Here's to hoping I can get as much of it back out of the garden fully ripened before frost kills it all🤞. And by the way, I've seen a Spanish recipe on RUclips before of "Candied Pumpkin." That could be an idea for putting some of your pumpkin away. Canned Candied pumpkin, canned pumpkin puree for later pie making. Pumpkin puree is an awesome, moist ingredient for the Weight Watchers pumpkin cookie recipe. They're nice and soft and YUMMY! You'll have to look into these recipes and try them out!😋

      @joeyl.rowland4153 2 года назад

      I will give you an explain I hope you understand.
      Those numbers 10-10-10 each number means for every 100 pounds of fertilizer,
      10 pounds will be nitrogen
      10 pounds will be phosphates
      10 pounds will be potassium.
      13-13-13 will be
      13 pounds out of 100 nitrogen
      13 pounds out of 100 phosphates
      13 pounds of potassium.
      So yes absolutely 13-13-13 is more concentrated than 10-10-10.
      But truthfully just use 10-10-10. If you use it properly it will do everything you need.
      If you are wanting more organic use blood meal, bone meal and kelp meal, and fish emulsions.
      Or use the Nature Safe that Travis uses.
      But if you can there is almost nothing better you can amend your soil with than manure.
