Nice video. I had issues with my pumpkins being pollinated. I eventually just stopped wrapping the runners around (they're planted in old truck tyres) and they then pollinated and didn't die off. I will have to get some less unruly seeds for next year I think (or ideally, set aside a couple hundred m2 for a veggie garden).

Every fall I collect the pumpkin seeds and dry them out carefully, then I grind them into a fine powder. This powder I mix with a kelp and keep the mixture in a jar. It can be kept in a dark cool room for upwards of three years. When I have some itchy rash pop up on my taint area I lather on a good portion of the pumpkin seed / kelp mixture with the back side of a common tablespoon.

Styrian pumpkin is grown for seeds.

No. So the semen is actually the pollen that the bees carry to the pumpkin plant. Once that reaches the flower of a female pumpkin plant (pumpkins are not like most flowers which are both male and female), that female plant will produce fruit that contains seeds. The seed is the zygote (fusion of sperm and egg) or the child in other words. The pumpkin fruit (along with every other fruit) is developed simply to help spread the seeds. Not every seed is genetically viable though so some don't end up growing. Not sure if those are the ones you buy in the grocery store or if there are farmers that willingly put their best seeds on the market (the latter is unlikely because it doesnt sound like a sustainable business strategy).

It is actually best to fertilise with high nitrogen fertilisers before planting. After the vines develop, and before flowering, keep away from high nitrogen fertilisers as this can cause the female flowers to fail. Once the flowers appear use a high phosphorus fertiliser low nitrogen. As the fruits appear use a high potassium fertiliser.

You have a point, however, if you have pests that eat you seedlings, and birds that seem to find seeds then sometimes you need to start them off in containers.

Also avoids late frosts. However, each to her/his own.
