Ep. 13 - Giant Pumpkin Update {& Seed Giveaway!!!}
All 3 giant pumpkin plants now have a pumpkin pollinated on them!! I have trained the vines to allow space for a massive pumpkin to grow on each plant. I placed plywood boards down with sand on top for each pumpkin to grow on. The board gives the pumpkin a solid surface and prevents critters from getting under the pumpkin. The sand provides drainage and helps the pumpkin slide as it grows. The 2501 Bernstrom plant is still doing well, the 1005 Clementz plant is hopefully starting to gain momentum and the 1643 New plant might be a lost cause.
Make sure to watch the video for details of the giant pumpkin seed giveaway contest. I am giving away seeds from my 1931 pound pumpkin and my 1970.5 pound pumpkin.

I would definitely ditch that leaf. One good gust of wind and its going to scratch+scar the pumpkin

Good thinking. I will have to get rid of it after this next round of rain we are getting tonight into tomorrow. I normally leave that leaf most of the season, but not with where it is coming off the vine.
Done, hope everything goes smoothly for you this summer.

Thanks for following along. It sounds like we are going to get another 1-2” of rain tonight into tomorrow. Hopefully you dry out soon.
Done! I have a leaf near my pumpkin keeps getting in the way. Cutting it off soon I think.

I think maybe rice would grow better in the new plot. Got to be a spring somewhere nearby.

I know there is a spring on the other side of the field next to that patch. Probably won’t grow there again.
Done, it’s currently too hot for my Atlantic giant female flowers to take. I’ll have to restart in a 2-4 weeks.

Done and im just starting down the big pumpkin growing rabbit hole i have been using dills Atlantic giant seeds but 3 years in i still haven't gotten a single pumpkin animals ate my vines 2 years in a row but this year all my vines at different times turned yellow and willted and died around a week after they turned yellow i was wondering if you would have any ideas on what it was and what i could do for prevention in the future

Also my goal is 250 to 350 lbs I would definitely take one bigger if possible but without packing a ton of fertilizers so that its still edible so I can share with family and friends and I'm growing with a small budget so I can't afford the like 10 different fertilizers that the pro's use and am open to any and all advice
@theturnerranchwi

Hard to say without pictures (and potentially still hard to say with pictures). Could be bugs biting the plant and giving it yellow vine disease/decline. Could be soil disease. If you were curious, you could get a soil disease test done.

Burying vines is probably the best option to get the best size without a bunch of fertilizer. I put a bunch of stuff into my plants, but definitely wouldn’t eat my pumpkins. We grow other pumpkins in a separate patch for carving and eating the seeds. If you have access to compost, that would help as well without the need for fertilizer. Good soil is key so compost would be helpful. To get my soil completely balanced for giant pumpkins, I end up having to add a handful of different fertilizers. Thanks for following along and good luck in the seed contest.
