  • 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.

      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.

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

    • @theturnerranchwi
      @theturnerranchwi  Před 6 dny +1

      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! I have a leaf near my pumpkin keeps getting in the way. Cutting it off soon I think.

    • @theturnerranchwi
      @theturnerranchwi  Před 6 dny

      My leaf will probably come off soon too. Good luck in the contest!

      What area are you in? What kind of temperatures? Our highs are only in the 70s right now.

    Done, it’s currently too hot for my Atlantic giant female flowers to take. I’ll have to restart in a 2-4 weeks.

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

    • @theturnerranchwi
      @theturnerranchwi  Před 5 dny

      I know there is a spring on the other side of the field next to that patch. Probably won’t grow there again.

      @theturnerranchwi  Před 6 dny

      Thanks! Went 5 days in a row with no rain, then got a decent amount and now have been dry 3 days. Heard we might get 1-2” tonight into tomorrow.

    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

    • @Luke-fj3ih
      @Luke-fj3ih Před dnem

      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
