@@theturnerranchwifor sure! I might roll with the set I have at about 10 feet small day 20 but it’s starting to crank a bit putting on 4” cc a day. Not awful
Hi! I am invested in seeing how things turn out. Do you have the ability to water out there if you need to? If so will you raise the elevation of the swamp? With a semi of topsoil? Here’s to giant pumpkins! 🧡🎃🧡
Yes, I have the ability to water all of my pumpkins. Really not sure what I am going to do with the swamp patch. Might move to a new location for next year or just grow 2 pumpkins. Yesterday, I trimmed off some of the dead leaves/vines and uncovered any vines I had buried earlier in the year. I also put compost under the vines to get them a little elevated.
I dont know the grade of your property but a french drain might possibly help and if your property is too flat then possibly you could dig a couple of 4 foot deep pits around the perimeter of the waterlogged pach and fill them with gravel and put a pipe in the center of the pit thats just big enough for a pump to slide inside and that will give the extra water somewhere to accumulate that you could pump it out and away
I am not sure if you have seen my previous videos, but I dug a trench along the one side of the wet patch. Only about a foot deep, a foot wide and maybe 6-8 feet long. I started by carry 5 gallon buckets of water out of the patch and moved to pumping after removing about 700 gallons by bucket. I probably removed 3,000-4,000 gallons of water before I gave up. Mainly gave up because I needed the hoses and extension cords for other purposes. I really appreciate your suggestions! I may just move to a new location for this patch next year.
That could have been a bird or a mouse or squirrel. My largest big max has a scare too and I'm really not sure how but it looks like it's going to be fine
Nice!!!!!
Thanks for following along! It has been fun following your grow as well.

Good to hear that yours is healing up fine. Hope mine does the same.
