Great video packed with lots of info for newbies. I've been raising them for almost 10 years, started with jack o lantern pumpkins, and then upgraded to big max 120- 200 lbs. I donate all of them to neighbors and friends and local farmers market, it's addicting.
I tossed a pumpkin last year into my compost pile, it rolled down to sit in between my compost pile and my top soil pile, it started to grow this year and has some leaves on it almost 2 foot across, it picked just about the most prefect place ever to grow. I can't wait to see how big the pumpkins grow, i covered all the ground with grass clippings so it doesn't have any competition at all.
I need an update on how your pumpkin did!!
@@timothyk9086 the farmer behind me sprayed it and killed it. Made me so mad
That's such BS I would be pissed too
@@green_ghost_organics this comment broke my heart. You had so much hope a year ago haha
@@strat458796 yeah it sucks. I moved the compost pile and we put the surprise cantaloupe from this year back into it and we sat 4 pumpkins on it. Had a long talk with the farmer and he's gonna let me take care of the fence line from now on. Much love.
After my giant pumpkin fail I had this season… I’m going to be turning a huge chunk of my yard into a pumpkin patch next year. Going all in!
Love that! Keep me posted
I had a surprise pumpkin pop up on my back yard after we tossed a decorative one outside a year ago. Man I'm excited to be a new pumpkin mom!
This is my first year to grow pumpkin. I hope I get a full crop. Thank you, for the info!🙏
How did it go?
@@julietblack1831My pumpkins were small but, I got 35 of them....
Hey same here. I'm growing them in a container. I'm hoping to get 2 pumpkins so I can have 1.for me and one for my pup
@@donavintrip713 did ya get more than 2? I’m sure you got more than 2 😊
To get bigger pumpkins only let 2-3 per vine grow. For giant pumpkins just one per vine:
Sandals in the garden. Very California. Love it 😍
There's not enough good things to say about The soil king what's better than our children growing pumpkins much love much respect
You are my soulmate! Right at the start, pumpkins and sunflowers, my favourite plants!
Hell ya soil king love u i just got your m1000 im so excited to grow em i want some giant pumpkin seeds
I did not expect my pumpkin search to lead me to the soil king.
I Love your support for junior farmers.
Keep working at it SK. Love your posts. CHEERS!
Thank you for sharing! About plant my first pumpkins today. You’ve got my pumped!!!
You got me confused for a sec cuz you said my not me. So spell right, use the right words and punctuation to prevent that next time. Btw im not mad at you i just gave you a tip to prevent confusion at poeple like me reading your comment.
Addictive, you say? I'm having tons of fun growing normal-sized pumpkins. I can only imagine how fun giants are.
@@My_trashtalking_account oh yeah you should get into it you will fall in love with her just like me. From Little pumpkins to Giant PUMPKINGS
Love your enthusiasm! I've grown a large pumpkin before, but maybe 20lbs. I've got a new variety this year that promises 100lbs! We'll see, but you have a new subscriber.
You want to grow a giant pumpkin? Vine borer moths: "hold my beer."
I live in Spain and is quite sunny but I live in an apartment, is it possible for the pumkin to grow in a room or is just a fantasy? Nice video.
Yes you can. But you need to grow the small variety. Like Wee B little pumpkins. Un grow them in a pot and set a tomato trellis. As far as they get nutrients, water and sun it is possible
@@leidycasadiego3535 You guessed it right! I did it! They are growing slowly but God knows what will happen lol I wish I could grow a giant pumkin in a room but I'm not really sure about it lol Thanks for answer Leidy Cachaplita. Nice to talk with you.
Let it grow on the ceiling
Your so humble and cool
I have 2 pumpkin plants(ez grow monster)in the ground about the same size as soil kings in this video so I’m interested in the comparisons between the soil kings and my pumpkins 🎃
Loved this video ! Thank you SK
Soil King you rock 👍👍✌
What on earth are those really large plants with the elephant ear leaves?
Yess! Instantly loved this guy. Good video!
Edit
Nice beard too.
Omg I have my first kid he's 3 he loves the garden watering plants dirt all of it
Ahh yea it the MF soil king👑 I always enjoy your videos, tons of information thanks brother
lol he literally gave almost no useful info here... was basically just "buy my crap!" when it said "how to grow giant pumpkins" i actually expected some info on how to do it... like best time of the year to plant them, specific parasites to watch out for and the best way to get rid of them... when the best time to harvest is.... not just what kind of overpriced dirt the dude uses.
Are they sunflowers growing next to your pumpking patch ? I heard from Elliot Coleman that sunflower seeds contain an enzyme that prevents other seeds from sprouting. It's called allelopathy. When sunflower seeds drop from the plant or a bird feeder they release the enzyme into the soil, preventing germination. That's why it's not a good idea to put a bird feeder close to a garden started from seed directly into the soil.
What are those plants behind him? With the stalks trimmed , looks like a pumpkin tree instead of plant haha.
First time viewer here, rookie gardener, on my 4th year growing pumpkins in Iowa, 39yr old man. My question is....when it comes to the Big Max seeds, would it be possible to grow 2+ large pumpkins on one vine if you fertilize more often? I basically use a 10-10-10 miracle grow dry fertilizer, then I have like two other liquid fertilizers as things progress
I’m an experienced grower and have grown just about anything you can name! March through October we grow about 90% of our food. I’ve recently, 2 years ago, become interested in growing giant watermelon, last year I grew my largest to date that weighed 238 lbs! I’ve got one that’s probably going to surpass that weight on the vine right now, that still has about 40-50 days left on the vine. I’m wanting to get into growing giant pumpkins as well. I’ve grown pumpkins before, many varieties. However, I need to find a good source to obtain seed from… suggestions would be great!
Hi guys,
I tried growing pumpkins for a few years in a row but kept having vine borrowers bug that were in my vines and killing my plants. My question is what do you use to prevent these worms from eating the vines?
Nice video thanks
About to plant a Jarradale Blue Pumpkin and would like it to be as big as possible since in is a medium-small variety. Would following the same recommendations you make here work for my project?
Yep it will work!
Can you eat it? How do they eat? Where are they used?
Nice sir ...
*What’s happens to these short videos not on bud?*
Hey soil king do you have any 1940s urina (3) seeds if you so please respond thank you
Oh wow, you're just over in Coverdale. I should come find you and pick your brain
👍👍

Where can I get a giant pumpkin seed
Nice
Hi there. I'm very interested in getting started with giant pumpkins on my farm. Looks like it could be really fun for me and the kids. Of course the kids are adults now but they still like to get involved. Any advice on getting some seeds so I can get started? Thank you in advance.
I would search on Google for Utah giant pumpkin competition, there’s a website there where you can order seeds from. Giant pumpkin grown is amazing, you and your kids are gonna love it
@@thesoilking what's the link for the website?
@@mapbot6513 thesoilking.com
@@thesoilking thanks
Howdy doodie brotha
may i ask, can seeds from local pumpkin seeds, where i can make giant pumpkin? thank
Secret ingredients?
How do you get these seeds.
Any tips if im going for a massive jack-o-lantern?
Make a campfire in it lol
What month are you doing this?
Not sure, it was a long time ago
I should have asked, what month is a good month to plant pumpkin seeds?
@@FromTheDeskofAntoinetteSmith It really depends on what climate zone you're in. California it's in April that I start cracking the seeds and then put them outside in May
what is the secret ingredient?
Could you please send some seeds to Bangladesh 🇧🇩
привет из России, можно семечки от ваших тыкв?hello from Russia, can I have seeds from your pumpkins?
How did your pumpkin turn out?
My pumpkin rotted and no idea how, it was full of water inside of it which is odd.
That kind of stuff happens all the time, sometimes you can get a little bit of rot at the root going into the pumpkin and it can create a hole and fill up with water routing from the inside out. Out. You could have some bad pathogens that sit underneath the pumpkin while eating up through the bottom causing the same effect. Giant pumpkin growing is amazing, but getting to the finish line with me is about one out of every three or four years
@@thesoilking Yeah i'm still learning my other one is 50lb which survived until Halloween i bought the seeds from Canadian tire for like a few bucks which isn't bad at all and pumpkins are expensive here in Canada so it's worth it just to grow your own, i would love to get the real giant seeds someday.
I can finally grow but I got car lights hitting them all night😭.

Ojo la importancia de que cuidemos la vida
Are you supposed to remove the flowers when they first grow as they are not as far down the vine if that makes sense?
Yes that is correct, have a great season
@@thesoilkingwhat is the special soil? My son an I are trying to grow a giant pumpkin

*How to put a pumpkin plant, in a hole.
There sure was a whole lot of nothing in this video,
"im here to teach kids how to grow stuff so i'll start with a potting mix that would be ideal for advanced marijuana grow operations!" if you're trying to teach kids something, keep it simple. most kids out there wont know wtf you're talking about when you start rattling off special soil and fertilizer mixes like that, hell most adults i know would be looking at you like you have 3 heads.
time to learn then isnt it
In Russia no sold seeds Atlantic gigant! Send me please seeds to postal in russia anybody, pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
