Hapayu Gardening is a brand new RU-vid channel featuring gardening-related videos, hosted by Kevin Yu. My mission here on Hapayu Gardening is to share the knowledge and experience that I have picked up over the years for both outdoor and indoor gardening. My videos will include plant care tips, various experiments, unboxing videos of gardening supplies, addressing various gardening problems, and more.
About Kevin: Gardening has been a lifelong hobby of mine, starting way back when I was a toddler "helping" out in my mother's backyard garden. Over the years, I learned a great deal about indoor and outdoor gardening from both experience and research. I really enjoy vegetable gardening, landscaping, indoor plants, hydroponics, plant propagation, and lawn care.
PM starts on the undersides of the leaves. Once you see it on the tops of the leaves, the battle is over as far as home remedies go. Contact fungicides are useless due to the impossibility of spraying them onto the leaf undersides properly. What is needed is a translaminar fungicide. These types of fungicides can be applied to the leaf tops and it will pass through the leaf and treat the underside.
Dude thats awesome - thats all one plant!? My plants grow huge with giant leaves, but so far i only have a about 2 that look like they can get big. However, gourds - I have more gourds than I want. I swear I didn't even plant some of them. I think gourds could grow in space.
I have planted Jacks, white and warty pumpkins. One of my jacks are orange, one is half orange and green but I noticed on that one it is filing soft. My white, I thought was white has now growing warts and is starting to turn a soft yellow. I am afraid that I will loose them. Some of my vines had bugs and I pulled them and spend days squashing them by hand as they didn't affect Amy other vines. I need some advice as this is my first time.
Is the general goal to have two to four plants per mound? Or does it depend on the specific type of pumpkin (or expected size of fruit? - I think most of mine are not expected to be too big)?
I live in Georgia,I have a pumpkin vine that we did not intentionally plant(a single vine with a single pumpkin). It is July 2nd and it is already 90% orange stem is still green. Any advice other than leave it on the vine? Vine looks healthy and is not being attacked by bugs. Gets watered daily, but sits in full sun the majority of the day.
Thank goodness you’re back!!!! I’m new to growing pumpkins and your videos help me so much! You explain things so well and you’re just a likable guy! Family always comes first. I hope there will be a little time to make more videos. You’re worth the wait! Thank you!!!
I like this video so much. I usually can't get through a whole video without the person who is speaking getting on my last nerve. So easy to listen to you!, DIY frugality is on point, and nice pumpkins!Thanks!
Watching to see if the vines I see coming up are my pumpkins sprouting! I tried purposely planting seeds& they didn’t take. So this year? I just slung pumpkin guts around. Mine has vines tho… looks like it’s starting to grow flowers already Edit/ I’m starting to worry the vines I have are indeed not the pumpkins😭😢
Hi Friend. I see that you have a lot of grass where you are planting the pumpkins. I plant pumpkins in the past in my lower raise beds and let the vines grow out on the grass. The problem I had in my area is that I could not mow the grass where the pumpkins developed, and by the time the pumpkins are ready to harvest,the grass are allready knee hight and I can’t see where the pumpkins are and afraid of snakes. I think next time when put the seeds in the ground, I am going to spray herbicide to kill off the grass first.
Found you from the long hot video - I've been looking for non-hybrid seeds to buy and stumbled across the channel. As someone from the Philly suburbs (Chester county) I'm hoping to see more videos this growing season!
I have a question, that why dont you keep enogh space when you plant your seeds. Its sad to see cutting those beautiful plants. Thank you for the infomative videos
On my pumpkins and melons baking soda works. Baking soda and water in a pump sprayer. On my gooseberries only copper worked, baking soda/milk/neem did not work. On my trees neem usually works on leaf spot and rust.
Hi Kevin, Have you heard of using hydrogen peroxide? I personally haven’t tried it but heard another gardener, here on the tube, swear by it. Just wondering. Powdery mildew was the demise of my patch this year. I’m researching prevention and remedies for next year. God willing, I’ll be more educated and prepared for next year’s pumpkin patch endeavor 😄 zone 9b S. California✌🏼
That's really interesting about the carotenoids, I didn't know that about pumpkins! And I'm amazed that your vine is all from one plant, and that it has so many pumpkins! Despite fertilizing my pumpkin vines and routinely checking on them for insect damage, I never really get too many secondary runners- just really long main vines. And I really only get one pumpkin per plant, two or three if I'm really lucky, even when the variety calls for much more! Great video as always. Looking forward to more!
Something that helps is cut off male and female flowers early in the season. This lets the plant focus engery on the vines and you should get bigger and longer healthy vines. After you are happy with your vines start to let the flowers polinate and grow. You will notice with bigger and longer vines you will get more pumpkins. You should aslo elevate your pumpkins early on and use a material that doesnt hold moisture. Plastic mesh baskets from a dollar store work well. When the pumpkin starts to turn orange it is done growing, part of its life cycle. You can harvest at this point or wait till its fully orange. After harvesting let it sit in the sun for a week to cure then store in a cool dark place untill you are ready.
I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve learned so much about pumpkin growing from your videos! Thanks for sharing the wisdom you’ve gained over the years. Can you share where you purchased your pumpkin seeds from?
Thank you for your support and I'm glad to have been able to help. I've purchased my pumpkin seeds directly from Burpee as well as from Home Depot. Germination rates were great for both. This year, I was a little late to the game so I actually purchased my Jack O Lantern seedlings from Lowe's. I hope this helps.
Not a silly question at all! In general, I follow the recommendation of minimum of 1-2 inches of water per week. In prior years, I used drip irrigation. I ran it daily for about 20-40 minutes. This was actually too much for my front yard back in 2021 and my ground was saturated, so I dialed it back. This summer, I've actually been using a regular sprinkler. I'm watering about every 2-3 days for 30-40 minutes each... depending on the weather and temperature. Watering deep is key... you want the water to seep deep into your soil, but not to the point where the ground is squishing with water. Hope this helps!
@@aaronkelly3035 How far are you getting? Are you getting any pumpkins are are your vines dying before even getting any? And what varieties have you tried growing?
