@@poet79eyes I agree with the original commenter. You could watch this video several times over and still not understand what he means because he left out some key information. I have several questions: -Why is that particular part of the stem a “growth head”? -Why didn’t he cut off the other stem/leaf attached? -Does it matter which of them I cut if there’s more than one? Some things just were not made clear and that isn’t the fault of the viewer for not rewinding repeatedly. I will need to look for another video and hope someone else can explain it so I can confidently trim my own pumpkins without accidentally causing damage.
Our Halloween pumpkin got forgotten about near the edge of my deck . I did throw them out eventually . Apparently not before seed dropped from it . Months later we got a pumpkin plant . Its still kind of small but its doubled in size . So I thought I should look into how to encourage fruiting .
I'm growing something that looks just like that and the package says Italian Rampicante Zucchini (or squash). Wonder if it is the same thing but the Amish call it long necked pumpkin? That's interesting. Thanks for showing it.
I cut off the shoot but leave the pumpkin. Leaves more energy for the plant to put into the pumpkin instead of growing more plant. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Have you ever had male flowers that do not produce pollen. My vines are about8' long but the fruit turns yellow and falls off. Tried pollinating by hand but when I open the male flowers to get at the pollen the anther has none. Seems all the male flowers are like that. Have no idea what to do. Any suggesting what to do?
Cool pumpkin. Never seen a pumpkin with a long neck. QUESTION: what kind is it? Is the flesh the same color and taste as regular pumpkins? 10 to 15 pounds per pumpkin, how do you support the weight on your trellis so the vines don’t break?
They're called long necked pumpkins. I believe that they're actually a type of squash that are sold locally in S.Central PA. The Amish grow them. The flesh is slightly a lighter yellow color and they fine from the racks. I tie the vines to the cross pieces with vegetable tape so they don't droop. We cook to soften, blend the pieces and freeze for later pie making. Beats anything you can get at the store.
Keith Wilkes They sound delicious. What is the name of the farm? I travel through PA yearly when I visit friends in MD. I’d love their address so I could stop on my way through.
Hi Linda, I bought one at a local grocery store 4 years ago and have been growing them with the seeds saved from the store bought pumpkin. I suggest calling Lancaster grocery stores late summer to see if they will be carrying them. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I want pumpkins my vines are super long now days but almost all of my females won’t tiny pumpkins are on the suckers!! So what should I do now?? All of them yellow and die and fall off!!! Please if you can help me out!! This is my first year growing them
They aren't getting pollinated. Here's my video on how to hand pollinate your pumpkin: studio.ru-vid.com8x8nwoVTegA/edit. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@carlagood7922 Don't know about that problem. I would suggest an internet search for pumpkin that aren't developing. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.
