Something about this is just simple, beautiful and wholesome. I feel a little silly getting all sentimental over a pumpkin, but just watching those little leaves bending and turning to the sun, growing a little day by day from a tiny little seed to a massive pumpkin, was just so heartwarming. Loved this. Thank you for uploading!
my third grade teacher showed us this video when we learned about plants. i just remember all the new life with the song just being really impactful for the whole class. now all these years later i remembered it and found it. so ty for the memories
Nope. It is not nature. He used compost to grow his pumpkins. Nature does not have compost. LOL Nature only has half composted dead tree leaves and grass.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have used it a number of time in my secondary science lessons as a starter to discussing plant growth.
I used a special waterproof time lapse camera which is programmed to take pictures at regular intervals and then the software makes it into a movie. You can eat giant pumpkins but they tend to be pretty bland.
Hello, i first found your video 2 years ago when i was growing my own giant pumpkin. After watching it a few times the song in the video got stuck in my head and i started listening to this song a lot. Now when i listen to this song it reminds me of your video. I just wanted to thank you for showing me this song. 🙂 🎃 🍃
The cold frame makes it like 1.5 months ahead of my pumpkins here in zone 8. But I am satisfied with mine cause mine is 100% FREE. I use some half composted tree leaves, grass clipping, straw and dry quail manure to grow mine. :)
Dat Boi, gourds are fruits, so you just fucked up. When something edible grows from a flower, it is by definition a fruit. This includes peppers, cucumbers, etc.
Two reasons to cover the pumpkin are to protect the skin from the sun which can cause premature aging and to keep it warm on cool days and evenings. It is believed that keeping the pumpkin warm will allow it to grow better. I don't know if there is any scientific validity to this but all the heavy hitters do it so I follow suit.
Damn, this is a very good time lapse video, maybe the best ( really ) ! I want to do a time lapse too, but I don't know how ! ( it would be with a cherry seed, from seed to fruits )
If you watch this backwards, its about a prizewinning pumpkin who lives at a fair until a man takes it away to a small patch and forces it to shrink by taking away its moisture until it is the size of a pebble.
Incredible. Does anyone else liken this to an extremely obese person being fed by her enablers and later feeling humiliated at being whinched from their bed by a fork lift when their body is giving in?
Wow excellent . Sir. Can you please tell me how maintaining the pumpkin. I have yellow pumpkin which is sweet pumpkin as of now . Last week I planted white pumpkin. It's starting leaves. Please tell me now how to make more white pumpkin and protect leaves form insects. Only one see of white pumpkin only got starred. grown so I'm worrying to protect that now.
Hey Matt, Thanks for posting this video. I reminds me of all the times going to THE FAIR "Puyallup" growing up and being amazed at the Giant pumpkins. I was wondering if I can screen cast the video adding my voice asking questions for my 7th grade science students to watch and learn about photosynthesis? I normally show them the video and give out candy to any that can pronounce Puyallup correctly. I want to do a screen cast this year because of distance and my students cannot access youtube. I will make sure to credit you for making the video.
Do you have a website or anything that we can get growing tips on and why you did some of the things you did? I grew my first garden this year and am learning. Though I don't plan on taking on a project like this anytime soon, I'd love the tips to increase my pumpkin yield.
I've been growing pumpkins in my back yard for years, and no way they grow that fast per time lapse. Seeds in April and massive plant by end of May. Are you giving them special food?
Hi, I loved the video. How did you timelapse the whole growth of the plant? What type of camera did you use and where did you store the video to? Thanks
The camera was from a company called wingscapes. I am not sure if they make it any more. It has a waterproof case and you set it to take photos at regular intervals. It also came with software that turns the photos into video.
Are they still a kid or why does he play with a toy truck? That’s my favourite part there’s starting on Sunday Alice, then the girl into female and then the pollination and you don’t need to actually need you to put cans near it just leave it normally or you can make it into a save by adding a safe box. Don’t make it too small or else your pumpkin will break through it, or it will break itself and you need to cut it off or else it’s loose the pumpkin will break you
If you grow them up right the vine will drape over the shoulder of the pumpkin and the vine will be stretched as the pumpkin grows. They will actually split and pull themselves off the vine if not positioned correctly. Also the blossom end of the pumpkin is the thinnest part of the shell and and if you turn the pumpkin with the stem on top it puts all the weight of the pumpkin on the blossom which can cause splitting or potential rotting if the blossom is in the dirt.
