Have you ever grown pumpkins? If so, were they a success and what would you do differently if you were to grow them again?

Threw out a hundred or so seeds just to see what happened. At least 90% successfully sprouted. I have a crazy jungle of pumpkin leaves and vines 😂

I love that this guy shows the good the bad and the ugly You can normally type in how to grow a pumpkin patch And people normally say Plant a seed Get good soil And walla a nice pumpkin patch...wrong !!!! It's a lot more than that and this guy shows it

Awesome video sir! My son is 9 and buried an entire pumpkin last fall, as his own little experiment. It is actually thriving and he was researching how to make it the best possible! Your video was so educational to him and helpful! Thank you!

Thanks Jennifer, glad to hear your son is getting into growing veggies and that my content was helpful. Cheers!

The pic you had of squash vine borer was actually a pic of a squash bug which pierces fruit and leaves scars. Squash vine borer is a colorful black and orange moth that looks kind of wasp like.

Love 5:07 Lucas! Entertaining video as always. Really enjoy following your progress! Wish I could see it in real life! I also learned that the white colouration on the pumpkin leaves isn’t powdery mildew like I thought it was. Great info!

I know organically grown is favored by many. But the grass/weeds help harbor insects. Either spray or pull to help you here. Also add some trap plants such as Hubbard squash to attract insects away from your main patch. Keep those sprayed as well

@siege919, whap would be your recommendation in place of the deadly spray?

The grass will grow long again. The pumpkin will grow through it. Does this need some sort of action or will it be ok? Thick hay?

I’m no one special but I feel like some companion planting and a bit of agroforestry would be golden for what you did here

Hello, what varieties do you recommend? My soil has a good amount of clay, dou you think its an issue? Do you use fertilizer? What spraying do you recommend?

The leaves allow the solution to rundown their stems toward the roots. There aren't specialized absorptive apparatus by plants leaves. I loclve this video. Quick. I could've followed. Thanks.

How do you water them

Pie pumpkins aren't the best for Jack-O-Lanterns... they are too small. Just check the description and see if it mentions "large" or "jack-o-lantern". Not sure which one you are referring to...?

Can I ask what brand of 3-18-18 fertilizer you purchased for your pumpkins?

Haha yeah I realize I could've got more rows in but this was my first time growing on a larger scale and I just followed the spacing instructions in the seed catalogue.

hi i want to grow some calabaza pumpkin but the space i have is limited is it possible to grow the vine and cut it when it passes over 12ft before it starts flowering and remove the secondary vine and grow it with just the main vine, I'm from zone 13 I'm not worrying about the season just space issues

@lucasgrowsbestyt

Hi Shane. You can definitely cut the plant back in a pinch. Typically I don’t recommend this though because more leaves will be beneficial to growth. Give it a shot!

Good luck with your awesome pumpkin patch; it looks great!!!! For the pests, Jack’s Dead Bug works great on pumpkins, and it’s OMRI

It's possible, I don't know. Normally pumpkins plants have both male and female flowers, with a higher ratio of males to females.

Did you amend the soil before you planted ?

Male flowers have long stems behind them, whereas the female flowers have an unfertilized fruit behind them. When pollen is transferred from the male flower to female flower successfully, the fruit will grow and develop. Is there something in particular you don't understand?

Sorry to hear of your troubles again.(i watched you plant) Need better soil. Healther, non-disease plants survive better! Sorry to hear you went non organic pesticide. There are plenty of organics that work. How far down wind is the rest of your garden, tomatoes and peppers? You can't wait untill the pests are so out of control. Especially since you had knowledge of the Beatles in the area.Before you start such an adventure, especially if it is a dream, you need to plan. Plan not what and where only, but what ifs, as well. Plenty of research and video out there.Look, ask before you start. I row cover till flowers, watch daily, pick and spray.
