What a delight! Thank you so much for taking the time to film this! I think I'll try some pumpkins next year.

Fun Fact: planting Marjoram, if used as one of the pumpkin growing companions, is said to produce better, richer tasting pumpkins!

My 5 year old son and I enjoyed watching this. Thank you for making it.

I've seen a couple of comments asking about flowers on the plant so I'll go ahead and explain because I enjoy explaining😂: Many plants such as any type of squash including cucumber, watermelon, pumpkin, zucchini, and melons or plants such as tomatoes bloom after a certain point in their growth. The first flower to bloom are known as male flowers because they do not carry the baby fruit or vegetable. Instead, they for, a week or two before the female flowers to attract pollinators like bees. Female flowers can be seen before they bloom and are identified based off of the baby fruit or vegetable behind them. By the time these flowers bloom, it is only a matter of time before the baby fruit or vegetable becomes big and ready to pick. Pumpkins take longer usually depending on of they are bigger because of the time it takes them to become big. However, by the time a female flower blooms on something such as a squash plant, it only takes days before you can pick the squash. I hope this is helpful:)

Leigh B. Sorry for the late reply.... It looks like their could be about four or five plants there. It's always good to plant quite a few, especially if you want a better chance of harvest but the vines do get extremely long. Pumpkins can be more difficult to get fruits from with only one plant though.

I just began planting this year. Started with watermelon and canteloupe. All trial and error but theyre doing great. Started late in july tho so i definitely wont see any fruit. Pumpkin is definitely on the list for next year. Doing my research with these videos. You have a great video keep up the good work.

I love your long growing season. I just got my pumpkins in the ground today 5/28. You're pumpkins already have flowers and and fruit by the time I can get mine in the ground.

The plant wasn't given enough nutrition, as you see the plant dying out in some area and pumpkins not fully maturing.

from what ive learned, not all pumpkins on the vine will grow. the bigger ones dominate and tend to use up more nutrition. not all will live.

This was cool. Was hoping to see it all the way to the very end, but was very interesting to watch.

How many pumpkin seed did you originally plant please:) and what camera did you use to do this so cool. Thank you!!!

How many pumpkins did you get from that one plant.? What to grow sugar pumpkins next year for baking.

Hey dustin, I notice many of your pumpkin leaves end up withering away... you know you can eat them right? the flowers too!

Mins is starting to die, (I think) bc I think we skipped fall and went straight into winter and it’s starting to die? How to I fix it also are the mini Vines supposed to wrap around the plant?

How long did it take for the pumpkin to get big?

You must be in a good zone. My pumpkins are at least 1.5 months behind. LOL

How many seeds did they start with?

LOVE time lapse videos!

I have a few questions, the first is about the flowers: do they fall off prior to the pumpkins forming, or do they stay on? the reason for that one is we have a pumpkin plant and the flowers keep falling off (or being chewed off)... the second is about what is the timeframe for the first pumpkins to show after planting?

How long was this

That was cool. I think I counted 4 pumpkins... how many pumpkins did you end up getting that year?

Thank you!!

Benjamin each plant has male and female flowers. The female flowers have a small pumpkin under them, the male flowers are the ones without that small pumpkin and die/fall off. The male flowers typically show up before the female flowers.

I expected the vines to get much bigger than they did, but maybe this was a small variety.

Leaves look a bit yellow, pumpkins are hungry for nutrient, maybe mulch next year's spot deeply with grass clippings to add richness to the soil. Bonus: pumpkins cleaner underneath

Cool, how long did this take?

The pumpkin is just a fruit growing off of the vine. Like cucumbers or grapes. The roots are connected to the vine. I wish more schools taught gardening. It's a shame that any of us grow up without a hands on experience of growing our food, and really feeling what it's like to be a part of the process.

I did a whole packet of seeds in a smaller area about 1 week ago so hopefully doesn't get that crazy LOL
