Most helpful video for growing pumpkins (in general) out there.
thank u
i was wondering y all these flowers an no pumpkins do u think it's to late to try and pollinate them
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thanks for the techniques..
What are the soil requirements? Ph levels? Feeding levels ? etc
Any good hard specifics? I just bought some Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds...I'm going to give this a try!
That is an awesome pumpkin! Wish I had the space in my garden for that. Good tips on manually pollinating them too!
Los admiro por semejante labor
Very good very nice thanks
Great tips cos growing my own pumpkins this year
Thank you video God bless US amen
The way he pollinated those flowers tho😍. I'll have to try this for my pumkin. Is there a way of tying it with out breaking the petals?
Thanks I learnt a lot
I plant pumpkins too before and that is what we call direct cross pollination, but when we chose the male flower, we choose the one that is almost opening. I haven't tried the flower that already opened if it works

It was a couple of weeks before I had any female flowers but I had plenty of male flowers early on.
Good work
Very nice. I love and like agriculture.
I need these seeds !
So excited that it's pumpkin competition season again. ;) Or...pumpkin season, period. Love the coming of the fall so much. These look GREAT, fun vid.
My first pumpkin appeared on the vine last week lol! Probably won't get this big but I'll see what happens
It's a fun sign of fall to come!
Very nice
Very good your Farming
giant fruits children would love, conserving sweetness and flavor, they love little giant things.
Great video! to keep the sun of the fruit you can cover the fruit with a sheet ..

So after you polinate the m & f what do you do with it? Plant it? You never said why and what you do with it.
That was very informative - do I also dispose of unwanted pumpkins to reduce the stress on the vine? In other words - Do I limit the vine to one fruit?
Great good video
12 years later... this pops up on my suggestions... so here we are!
same lol.

That is quite a bit of work to grow giant pumpkins. I wonder if the same procedure would apply to other vegetables also.
it certainly does to tomatoes
Wow! This got me going!

Very helpful thank you. Can you tell us where we can get the seeds for the Giants at?

I know this is an 8 years old comment, so you’ll probably never see this but the cultivar of pumpkin used in this video and by the vast majority of giant pumpkin growers is called “Dills Atlantic Giant”
@@skeewherrl9584 hey thanks for the information. The wife and I are getting seeds in the ground this week.
Will order some online.

Wow....so big pumpkin
Just try pumpkin bud leaves very tasty racepie
When the pumpkins are that large, what do they use them for? Food companies purchase them?
can i do that on watermelon 1:18 piz tell me! =)
he meant to say that bees would contamintate the flowers with undesired male pollen.
Mantab sekali bos
that polination is correct it will grow big biger
Trái bí quá chừng to quá chừng cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ hay mình cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều mến chào bạn
one trick that makes any fruit grow bigger is to trim the new leaves regularly. the plant "Intelligence " tells the plants to grow better fruit when it cannot flower more. its more like dealing with an emergency situation. when the plant cannot bear more fruits the few fruits it has will get all the nutrition to make it bigger and stronger. i had once tried it with cucumbers and it worked. i kept pruning the new tender leaves and used it in salads while the plant gave much healthier cucumbers
does he plant after he germinated male and female flowers ? oe it should have been done by not cutting the female one from its own stem ? I will try your description as well ?
by 12AM Cinderella going to use it.

I want to grow one
But my water is restricted.
How much water do I need?
OMG it amazing😳😳😲
good very much good
What is the purpose of growing giant pumpkins, are they edible, is it possible to use them in cooking?
shafaq007 some take them out for a competition. And the competition they make them into boats..... it looks more like a barrel race in the water but still pretty ridiculous
Think of it more as a sport. The gardener has to know what he's doing to get it to grow so big and its a fun challenge and its just cool to grow giant fruit.
Someones got to feed hillary clinton.
Competition and you can win money
I'm curious, can't you just dump the male part inside the female flower and close it up?
the male flower rotting would put mould inside the pumpkin and essentially cause it to rot
Which vine we should remove
Oh my garden 🪴.
I am curious if tomatoes can be grown to that size

Very helpful thank you for posting. I live in Sacramento CA we get temps over a 100 in summer. How can I keep the fruit from getting sun damage?
Nice
Wow!
@best333WillC
Mine grew fast, and my Ph is 5.5. So keep it a hair acidic, not as much as me though x_x
Not to many years later and we are growing them over 2000lbs consistently
Maravilhoso
que linda.....
Elisabeth, that is sand. The pumpkin grows so fast you have to put sand under the pumpkin to reduce friction

When should I start getting rid of the extra pumpkins. Also which one should I go with, the first one (biggest so far), or wait until the other ones get growing?

Tomatoes can grow secondary root systems too. Hmm...
Are those pumpkins safe to eat or is it just for show?
Dee Kay wrong. Giant pumpkins are edible just typically not as tasty as those varieties that are for eating specifically

Wow!! That’s a beauty.
