You’re videos have been saving my butt with my first year growing pumpkins! Thank you for all of the good info!
Your videos are so helpful! We are growing pumpkins for the first time this year, and we find ourselves coming back to your videos again and again for fertilizer advice, trellising advice etc. etc. Thank you so much!!! 👍🙌
THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👏🏼👏🏼
I love your videos, you are a great explainer, very informative and don't talk to much! 😬😁
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us! It is GREATLY appreciated!
Happy Gardening! 🎃
Thank you. Our school is growing pumpkins this year with the children, so thank you for your help
My daughter and I are starting our first backyard pumpkin patch this year and we really want this to work but I have never done any gardening before.
Thank you so much for these videos, they are so helpful and informative! 😊🎃
I love that you DONT have background music!❤
Thank you so much for all your information. I will take your advice to fertelize my gourts in my garden, they are flowering now.
I’m growing pumpkins for the first time. Thanks for the advice!
Great video and very informative but not confusing!! Thanks🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Nice tutorial as it's to the point, not vague and it's explained in a logical order; according to the stage's of the plant's growth.
Great info! Plan to keep up with your videos as this is my first Pumpkin season!
Thanks for subscribing Amber and welcome to the hobby! What growing zone do you live in and what kind of pumpkin(s) are you growing?
lovely!!! thanks for ur vidio ....
Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you for this. :-)
Breaking down what the plant needs throughout the season is wonderful.
great video mate.. I haven't fertalised mine at all this year.. have 4 good pumpkins.. (though it's on my veggie patch so the soil is really healthy)
Thanks for so much information
I love this!! They look great! I've been giving my pumpkins Epsom salt too, they love it lol
How are you applying it? How often?
Great job🌱
Super helpful thanks you!
This is awesome, thank you.
I'm trying to grow giant pumpkins this year and reading up on the NPK and the ratios needed for each part of the plant growth was just way too confusing for me. You managed to explain it perfectly in just 6 minutes and I was able to understand exactly what I need and what to do at the different stages.
Thank you and I've definitely subscribed.
A few months ago I had watched an earlier video when you were preparing those mounds but I didn't watch the follow up videos, so I'm kicking myself a little bit.
But my pumpkins have fruit that is growing very well and I now now to up the Potash for them 😊
You're awesome thank you.
I'm really glad I was able to help explain NPK easily. It's something I also didn't easily grasp when I first started refining how I fed my plants. I'll explore more of these topics this year as I grow out my front yard patch. Thanks for the support!
@@HapayuGardening I can't wait for your updates 😊
My garden is south south west too so yours being in that direction helped me know that my pumpkins will be okay with the sun and heat.
I wish my husband would let me grow them out front though 😂
I was hoping to have a couple giants out there ready for Halloween for the neighbourhood kids, but my husband said no 😔
However I also found I had lots of vine weevil larvae. I dug up a patch of grass to plant some Cosmos and Carnations and the soil was almost infested. So it's probably a good idea not to plant pumpkins there this year.
Thanks for being so informative and helpful 😊
Great video!
Thanks for the information. I replanted pumpkins for the 3rd this month 🥺
Was super helpful! You seemed to have stopped posting, but hope all's well & you come back
Kevin, these are all good points. Your garden is surrounded by fences and buildings, so the winds are blocked. Strong winds can blow your vines all over the place, crushing the tubules in the stems and leaves. To avoid that I bury the vines and the first few inches of every leaf. Where I want a pumpkin to grow, I leave that segment above ground. That also reduces the risk of stem bores. I use a second plant for pollen. I also cut off all but one pumpkin per stem per stem, but wait until they are about basketball size (my goal is large pumpkins). Thanks for posting. It was all very clear.
silly.
That's the same fertilizer I use! ...first time using this one....but so far my tomatoes and pumpkins are producing wonderful!
That is great to hear! It's a really great fertilizer... organic, easy to use, and not too expensive.
you have great videos !
Awesome great keep it up bro pretty good.
Great information!! I use fish fertilizer all year long also I use tea I make from weeds and grass in and around my Garden.. But I really like your method, I must try next season. Tfs
Fish fertilizer is some great stuff, isn't it? I use pre-made fertilizer primarily because it's easy, but also use other organic fertilizers in my vegetable garden. Tea from weeds and grass? Do you have a video on your tea?
Hapayu Gardening Yes it is in a video about my Squash, I called it Super Juice.. Check it out.. Thank you. I made it with the Bark of a dead tree unwanted weeds, Compost I also crushed some calcium and potassium tablets in this juice, I let it soak 24 hours than I gave this juice to my Squash, I had a Great Harvest of 36 delicious Butternut Squash.. Thanks my friend. Enjoy Your evening.
I was giving my pumpkins 18-18-10 the vines grow like crazy no pumpkins yet were about 75 days in. I need to start with the bone meal now hopefully we have enough time about 60 days left till Halloween
I feed mine only Alaskan fish fertilizer and FoxFarms Sea kelp fertilizer called Kelp me Kelp You. They LOVE it!!
Ahh can’t I just use one fertilizer? And if I get the 4 different things, how much do I add per plant and how often. You said, “ A healthy dose of potassium “...but what is that per plant?
Thank you so much🙏🏽
I know this video was made a few years ago... but I’m a new gardener, trying my hand at some pumpkins this year. I’ve got quite a few male buds on my plant, and a couple female buds. I’ve been using a general fertilizer with numbers similar to yours, and a liquid fertilizer 6-12-6 up until this point. I’ve just been following the directions on the bag and bottle for how often. But, I’m curious to know how often you fertilize your pumpkins each step of the way. After watching this, I am going to pick up some Potash for when my pumpkins fruit. Do you just follow the instructions about frequency on all your fertilizers? Or do you have a specific schedule that you have come up with? Please and thanks. And anyone else that may see this comment that has any suggestions, advice welcome.
I've been saying it wrong, POT-ASH , instead of Po-TASH all these years. great video!
Thank you
FYI. I have 2 hills of pumpkins with 2 plants per hill. Concerning Potash I contacted Espoma Customer Service and was told to use only 1 teaspoon of Potash per hill ( not per plant). I gave my pumpkins that 1 tsp per hill today. We'll see the results (hopefully this week).
I’m using bananas 🍌 and bananas water. Epsom salt, egg shells. I just started planting this month and made many mistakes and I’m learning. I’m on round 3 and I just planted them yesterday.
Thank you so much for your videos. They have helped my first time pumpkins immensely. How often do you apply the fish oil, potash and bone mea? I’ve read the directions on the packages but feel like I’m not providing enough to them.
Matthew Bogle I came here to ask this same question lol. I’m currently providing the fish fertilizer and the jobes fertilizer. I’m not seeing the same results. It’s been more than 2 weeks and my vines are nowhere near what Kevin’s are in this video 😐
How much bone meal potash do I add once they start flowering and fruiting I'm giving pumpkins ago this year and going all out only have 2 vines cause of limit space I don't want to kill them by over fertilizing
This is exactly what I was looking for. But how often do you fertilize?
Just mulch your pumpkin plant with some freshly cut grass clippings, some half composted tree leaves, and some dried quail or chicken manure to it. Zero cost!
I also have 2 hills of cantaloupes w/2 plants per hill. I've been using the same fretilizer as I use for pumpkins. Any changes I should make?
My pumpkins are only one month old and are about 1.5 to 2 feet long but are already flowering. Is this okay or should i cut the flowers off and let them grow a little longer? I live in Southern California and the first frost is expected to be last week of November.
when you fertilized your pumpkins did you use Jobes 2-5-3 and the Alaska fish fertilizer at the same time? or did you alternate? I just fertilized with Jobes 2-5-3 and wondering if I should also add the fish fertilizer? or will that be too much?
Bone meal is an extremely slow release fertilizer. It could take over a month before any phosphorus is available for the plant to absorb.
What is the frequency of of applying fertilizer. Specifically after I start getting fruit? Potash every 2 weeks and alternating weeks with 2-5-3?
You say if we are to use only 1 fertilizer throughout the growing season it should be the 2 5 3. Then a white banner shows up right after you say that. The banner says if we are to use just 1 fertilizer throughout the growing season it should be 5 10 5. Which is it? 5 10 5 is much stronger than 2 5 3. Did I buy my 5 10 fertilizr for nothing? Also use 5 1 1 fish fertilizer every 30 days or every 2 weeks? Thanks.
Planted pumpkins last year for the first time. Think i planted to late. Alot came up but didnt make it due to the cold. I only got 5 pumpkins and 6 apple gourds. My plot was small idk maybe 10’x30’. Next year im going bigger 50’x 200’. The whole fert and spraying makes my head hurt. Any way you can post a list??? Enjoy your videos will keep watching…thanks!!
👻🎃I hope everybody is having a great autumn 2022 magical we had a full moon a few days ago in Minneapolis Minnesota it was huge and had it almost like a super moon and it was a beautiful rainbow or around it and moon dog. My husband and I are having fun with the pumpkins but really not getting large pumpkins I think we only have six pumpkins and I think we have like twice as many vines as you vines got burnt or black in the other day from frost so I trimmed all those off today and we are having a record-breaking 70°F here which is great that I have part of the day off to do this work and then the rest of the week we’re going to go down to lower temperatures hopefully this fertilizer to use the bonemeal and the fertilizer will help because we only have 19 days till Halloween
I Can't find POTASH anywhere in my city, I live in Los Angeles California and nobody seems to carry this item. I've been to Lowes, Home Depot, Ace hardware, Armstrongs gardening and many others Any suggestion would help out a lot and I'm not going to buy off line. My pumpkin ( Atlantic giant )is falling be hide by about 3 week's and she need to plump up some. Thank you in advance
Hi, I'm planning to plant some butternut. How often should I fertilize it? I'm a beginner, by the way.
I’m a little (alot) late to the party but i was wondering how do you safely feed potash to your pumpkins throughout the season?
I planted early and pumpkins are beginning to turn orange and ripen if I shade it will it grow more rather then ripen ?
5-10-5. I PLANTED MY FIRST TWO PUMPKINS A FEW MONTHS AGO,NOW HAVE PLANTS ONE VINE IS 5 FOOT LONG. ON EACH PLANT NO FLOWERS YET.
should I use landscaping fabric to kill all the grass in my meadow before planting my pumpkins? pretty much iimpossible to mow the grass with all those pumpkin vines
Do you spray the vines themselves or just root feed ?
How often do you fertilize in each category? Every week?
Pumpkins!!!!!🎃
How often are you applying the general fertilizer?
Our pumpkin has taken over...
your welcome po tash sounds like a slang word for something
I’m sure you have covered it somewhere so please forgive me…….but when do you Thin Down the plants and how many do I leave per mound?
What do you apply when the leaves become whitish with ( not sure) bacterial or viral infection.
Thanks! And do you have any links or places were to buy the fertilizers you use in the video? I have trouble finding some.
Sorry for the late response. Hope you found fertilizer during this time. If not, I typically buy my organic fertilizers either from Lowe's or Home Depot. For some of the more unique ones (such as Bone Meal), I find them at local nurseries/garden centers. Worst comes to worst, they're available on Amazon though I find them to be more expensive there. Hope this helps!
How are you mowing the lawn with the pumpkin vines in the way?
Also, Espoma Potash is muriate of potash a.k.a potassium chloride. The potassium gets absorbed, but the chloride builds up in the soil with each application. This inhibits plant growth, so if you want big pumpkins you shouldn't use muriate potash by any brand. Potassium sulfate is a much better option for the same price.
👍💯
I tried using banana peels for potash. Is that okay?
I live in California and Espoma Garden Food with a 5 10 5 NPK cannot be sold in California (was told that by Ace Hardware). What other company sells 5 10 5 fertilizer? Have no idea why the Espoma brand is banned in Calif.
Do you just sprinkle that over the top of the mound? Rookie pumpkin planter here (me). Nvm, I asked too earlier...question answered 🤦♂️
How deep did you dig the hole
Very useful......sub'd.
Grace and peace
Gilly wife of Mark
How about using 20-20-20 for Pumpkins???
Apka video aacha laga
Mine bhi pupcon ligiya है
What fertiliser is it
if you are planting pumpkins in 3 large deep plant pot, should that be fine? or will it effect the growth of the roots?
You can grow miniature varieties of pumpkins in containers. However, all other varieties will not do well and most likely will not result in fruit (or very stunted fruit) in containers because of their very large root system. I read a study where the article documented the various stages of a pumpkin vine growth, including it's roots system. By the end of the season, the tap root was over 6 ft deep.
What about compost tea?
My plants are so small but are trying to bloom flowers that keep falling off, oh no
I dosed. My pumpkin with nitrogen and espsom salt and some doctor earth
Great gardening mate. Just wish to get away from those packaged fertilizers event hough they are always labeled as "organic", they still ends up and harms the effects ecosystem.
Thats a really loud bag lol
expensive pumpkins at the end with price of fertilizer, composted soils and water. But if we do it for fun like à hobby, then it's OK.
You're not kidding! I was trying to grow large pumpkins when I made this video back in 2017. This summer, I went with the low maintenance, budget approach with my Jack O Lanterns. One bag of compost and about 2 cups of organic fertilizer... and I currently have about 19 pumpkins on a single vine.
Jesus its pot ash !
Pot ash
Man you’re saying potash wrong. Pot-ash
POTASH POTASH POTASH, NOT POE-TASH I liked the video though.
Pot-Ash..... not potash like potato.....
Lol, yes. Someone else brought to my attention that I was taught the wrong pronunciation
😂😂😂😂😂Potash
its pronounced pot ash, potash lol
::Facepalm:: THANK YOU ANDY HAMILTON! Lol. I've been pronouncing this word incorrectly for 3 years now and not a single person has ever corrected me.
I remember Googling this a few years ago and went with the first TH-cam video I saw. And just Googled it again and that search result is still one of the first ones to come up!!! So this time, I clicked on 2 others below it to hear how it's properly pronounced.
Thanks again Andy.
Your a Very Classy Man !! Many would be offended! This makes me smile ! This makes me have more Faith in man kind ! One question why didn’t the package say “POT ASH “ ummmm something to wonder ❤️
It is pronounced pot ash not po tash
Kills me how we are now putting fish on our gardens wtf
I honestly never thought of from that perspective. I looked more into it and the brand I used back in 2017 uses whole fish. I will no longer be using that product. Thank you for the awareness.
it's probably waste product, like heads and tails of fish when they process them for selling in the grocery store.
Another advertisement
dude ... you are u sing way too muck chemicals to grow stuff ,,,, you have to eat that ...
Funniest shoes on pumpkin patches is not the funniest at all so bye
I don't like any of this. You are selling product. I like natural resources. I shouldn't hav to go buy a bag of anything. My pumpkins are healthier than yours. After all that, I may as well go buy a pumpkin when I want one!
urine is a good nitrogen fertilizer
