@@jasonquayle7466 I know... Sometimes "dirt" slips out of my mouth, and then I cringe when I listen back on the video 😂.

@ i love your helpful tips and tricks on these videos

@@jasonquayle7466 Hi Jason, unfortunately I can't send seeds internationally. I've tried multiple times, and they get turned away by customs.

Great idea! Love it!

@@jhaychjh great idea!

Oh man, that's a lot of seeds!

​@@pumpkinistahaha i know every grower has a ton and i wonder which you have 😅

The greenhouse heats up nicely in the sun, but once the sun goes down, it loses all heat. In the spring, I make a mini Quonset hut to go inside the greenhouse and I put a comforter over it at night with a chicken brooder heat lamp and an LED light to keep it warm and give it a little extra light to photosynthesize. I made a video on it and will put the link below. I LOVE your idea about using a pipe extension! Another option might be to stick some rebar in the ground if it would fit up the post. Thanks!

th-cam.com/video/TNqFq9BbWb4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G4PjoPQLryiw4pDt This is how I keep my plants warm at night and in cloudy weather!

@@pumpkinista Awsome thank you! I will take a look!

@@pumpkinista no problem! I have the same problem. Keeping the hoop warm at night. I think this year I may need to try a light over the plant at night to get a little more photosynthesis going!

Thanks!

@@DaleHartt 😂

😔

@@Ur_Fave_Peach I did! He also had other tomato friends - Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Fluffy!

@pumpkinista that is actually super cute, I have a cactus that I named Neville and my friend made a clay toad that we named Trevor, and Trevor sits in Neville's pot

@@Zo3yX 😂

I've tried sending seeds to Europe, and they turned them down. I'm sorry. Your best bet would be to find a grower in Europe or buy from a seed auction this winter at bigpumpkins.com

@@Ilovechocolates13 Deerfield Fair 🙂.

@pumpkinista that's only like an hour from my house 😊

@@StockHeightChevy603 😭 at least I'm not from Massachusetts!

@ ooff I am 🙃 well my family is I was born and raised in seacoast NH Seabrook

I wish!

Technically you can eat it, but they don't taste very good because they're 90% water and very tough/fibrousy.

@pumpkinista Thanks so much for replying! I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and pumpkin is eaten often in our diet. A pumpkin of this size would feed so many people!

All pumpkins/squash have male and female flowers on them. There are always significantly more males. You can tell the difference because female flowers will have a baby pumpkin at the base, while male flowers only have a stalk.

@@pumpkinista thanks. after watching your videos I realized they were all male flowers I was working with. Maybe becuase I started this plant so late it didnt have any female flowers developed . This is the first year I tried growing it and didnt know what I was doing. Your videos have been helpful. Going to try again next year along with more winter squash and pumpkins !

The seeds are HUGE and the shells are very thick. I feel like if you tried roasting them and eating them, the shells would tear up your intestines! Plus, the seeds are much more valuable to share with other to grow other giant pumpkins because of their great genetics.

@pumpkinista ok

@@hopehowell4338 not usually! I usually harvest the seeds before they have a chance to sprout.

@@EvolvingLark technically yes, but they don't taste very good because they're 90% water and very tough/fibrousy.

@ So, they’re purely for competition?

@@EvolvingLark I grow mine for competition, yes. That's the main reason for growing them. But after the competition, they often go on display at pumpkin festivals where they get decorated by artists, dropped on cars, and turned into boats for the pumpkin regatta.

@ Pretty sure I still don’t understand the “dropped on cars” bit.

@@3katfox I try to show all my methods throughout the year with my TH-cam shorts 🙂

“Fruitless endeavor” bro it’s a pumpkin

Fruitless endeavor are you blind that's literally a giant fruit.

@@montyshark3993 the most important part is to get a seed from another giant pumpkin (Atlantic Giant Pumpkin variety). If you try any other pumpkin, you'll never get it this size.

@@enysesilva It was a pun i needed the setup 😭

@@pumpkinista alright sweet definitely try that
