Pumpkins and Squashes | How to Grow | Pruning | Training | Feeding | Green Side Up
I’m a Norfolk bumpkin …. Local term for us country folk. Beautiful music 👍🏻
New subscriber from canada i live in zone 3. Your video is what i needed to see to know how to control my pumpkin. I find some of the pumpkins even when fist size will turn yellow and fall off the vine. What would cause that to happen. Thank you very much for the tips. Much blessings
Just discovered that pumpkin leaves are edible
Great tips! My squash are starting to get a bit adventurous so this was great. I actually do have a giant bumkin but my boyfriend doesn’t mind 🤣🤣 it is also home grown
I was looking for a way to control the out of control pumpkin plant that went crazy while I was away. I liked your video the best and did the sticks for training, as well as pruning to keep only the main branch. Before that I was only getting male flowers but today, I saw 4 female flowers on my plants, even though both of them are even 10ft long yet. I'm so happy. Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna try to train them vertical too. :D
do you pickle any of your beetroot? If so, any recipes? I tried last year but the vinegar taste was overpowering.
those are great tips Steve, I'm growing squash for the first time this year but the problem is the labels have faded so I've no idea which is which and when to harvest.
If you cannot grow pumpkins, squash then it is time to find another hobby tbh.
And so, is cucumber grown the same way?
I think I’m a giant bumpkin 🤣🤣🤣
When fruit forms, do you leave the dead flower on or remove? I tried growing in a poly tunnel but the fruits rotted - why?
I find that if the fruit rots it’s usually because it didn’t get pollinated. As you know the flower doesn’t last long, you can help pollination by taking a male flower and rubbing the centre parts (anthers on the male and stigma on the female) together. I also tend to remove the flower when the fruit starts developing. Hope that helps.
Thank you very much Steve. Very thorough and easy to follow. Butternut is what I've got.👍🏼👍🏼
I'll know better next year how to grow those melons and squash. Thank you for such helpful tidbits on the subject. Last year, I grew them, but didn't understand their ways, or why I had so much winding, (poking, too) vines, all over the place vs. the amount of crop. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much Steve really informative vlog much appreciated 👍
Great video Steve.
I'm doing butternut squash for the first time this year and have picked up loads of useful tips from this one.👍
I love my pumpkins always have them ready for my delicious spicy Chunky pumpkin & tomato stew every Halloween and bonfire night. Mind you every year the local kids nick some of them to make jack lanterns.
Great advice Steve, your choice of music is beautiful, who was that singing, its so beautiful, lovely and calming. Great advice re squashes,good idea re training. Saving this video and will pass on too. Thanks Steve
HI Lorraine and thank you. The music is "Stay Wide Open" by Loving Caliber and I have added it to the description also, thanks for watching...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp thanks Steve, you are so kind, your plants look so healthy, keep doing what you are doing, well done.Steve dont know if i missed where you show your flower area, i know you love bringing them home for your lovely wife, how are the flowers this year.
Love your videos but is there any chance to have some happier music? The past couple the music has been a bit sad and I watch your videos for motivation to do my own! All for the music on the videos but just would like some happier music if possible please :)
Great tips as always Steve. Loved the bumpkin bit ... I did giggle
Good advice, I'm currently training my pumpkins round the frame of my lads unused trampoline.
Squash not squashes 🤦🏻♂️
Both are correct Alan...www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/squash
squash noun (2)
plural squashes or squash
Definition of squash (Entry 4 of 4)
: any of various fruits of plants (genus Cucurbita) of the gourd family widely cultivated as vegetables
also : a plant and especially a vine that bears squashes
A excellent interesting and informative video Steve now everyone growing squashes, courgettes etc will be hopefully getting a great harvest once they apply your tips. Stay safe and well and happy gardening and have a good Sunday and week.
Thanks Steve, enjoying all your video's.
I used to train my butternut squash up a fence, I never heard about rooting them at the nodes (they went all around the plot and gave a fantastic unblemished harvest), but feeding it was a royal pain. This is a good tip to let them root along the way, and I like the way you pinned them down with the crossed twigs. There’s much to consider here. Thank you!
Very informative, Steve Thank you very very much : )
Thanks for the info. On another note, how do you keep those beetroot for later in the year?
👍😀👍❤
Thanks Steve, great advice for me to follow. Hopefully I'll get squash and melon this year. 🤞 It's a very lush and plentiful green side up at your allotment 😊
