Pumpkin Patch 2021 Progress | Late June, Early July 

Have you ever grown pumpkins? If so, were they a success and what would you do differently if you were to grow them again?

The pic you had of squash vine borer was actually a pic of a squash bug which pierces fruit and leaves scars. Squash vine borer is a colorful black and orange moth that looks kind of wasp like.

I love that this guy shows the good the bad and the ugly You can normally type in how to grow a pumpkin patch And people normally say Plant a seed Get good soil And walla a nice pumpkin patch...wrong !!!! It's a lot more than that and this guy shows it

Awesome video sir! My son is 9 and buried an entire pumpkin last fall, as his own little experiment. It is actually thriving and he was researching how to make it the best possible! Your video was so educational to him and helpful! Thank you!

Let the bee do the work. That's what they were made for :D

Love 5:07 Lucas! Entertaining video as always. Really enjoy following your progress! Wish I could see it in real life! I also learned that the white colouration on the pumpkin leaves isn’t powdery mildew like I thought it was. Great info!

Dont eben give nobuddy a pumpkin

what fertilizer did you spray ? your plants are so healthy. ...sally from the phil.

I know organically grown is favored by many. But the grass/weeds help harbor insects. Either spray or pull to help you here. Also add some trap plants such as Hubbard squash to attract insects away from your main patch. Keep those sprayed as well

The leaves allow the solution to rundown their stems toward the roots. There aren't specialized absorptive apparatus by plants leaves. I loclve this video. Quick. I could've followed. Thanks.

I love ♥ pumpkins! I plantea pumpkins every year , it make me feel happy , I enjoy to look it grow up .

Damn my first set of pumpkins was 6. I'm trying for 12 dis year.🙏🙏lol. Like dis video 1

hi i want to grow some calabaza pumpkin but the space i have is limited is it possible to grow the vine and cut it when it passes over 12ft before it starts flowering and remove the secondary vine and grow it with just the main vine, I'm from zone 13 I'm not worrying about the season just space issues

The front yard soil was depleted from much nutrients thanks to our ugly boring lawns

How do you water them

would straw between the rows take care of the weeds and place a blanket for the pumpkins to lay on

The pollination process with male & female always confuses me

I’m also growing blanco pumpkins, but they got a late start so I’m hoping that they make it in time

The grass will grow long again. The pumpkin will grow through it. Does this need some sort of action or will it be ok? Thick hay?

What region do you live in?

Powdery mildew and spider mites are the worst.

Omg lucas you have your own pumpkin patch now. I remember when you were growing pumpkin in fron of your garden but your mom wont allow you to do it next time. So proud

I just noticed that at 2:38 your hops are synced with the music! Hahahaha

Hello. How are you? Does the Pumpkin (orange ball) plant continue after summer? If not, how would I keep it continue for time after summer? Thank you!

Those eggs were squash bug eggs, not cucumber beetle eggs.

Hello, what varieties do you recommend? My soil has a good amount of clay, dou you think its an issue? Do you use fertilizer? What spraying do you recommend?

I don’t know about other people, but I’m not interested in how you started your pumpkins. I would like to know how they finished.🤷‍♀️

How exciting!!!!! I’ve always wanted to grow pumpkins but just no space to do it at our house.

Can I ask what brand of 3-18-18 fertilizer you purchased for your pumpkins?

Great videos and job. Are you going to grow fruits.

Yes,but why do madw long space between plants? Beautiful farm though,your answer is very important to me.

Planning on growing pumpkins my first time this year. Any tips?

Thanks for the video. I hope you tell your buyers not to eat the pumpkin sprayed with matador.

Hello‚ I'm looking for a pumpkin for Halloween but make sure it's a good size. Do you think that the sugar pie pumpkin meets that characteristic? what variety is the one you used beforehand thank you very much for your answer

When using chemicals. Long coverage clothing is best. Best of luck 👨‍🌾

Good luck with your awesome pumpkin patch; it looks great!!!! For the pests, Jack’s Dead Bug works great on pumpkins, and it’s OMRI

I will love to grow pumpkins. I just love how quickly the grow and how they look.

thats a lot of pumpkins! i thought 3 plants was a little much lol

Matador and what else did you use????

Did you amend the soil before you planted ?

I’m no one special but I feel like some companion planting and a bit of agroforestry would be golden for what you did here

What about the bees? How does the chemical spray effect the bees? And people wonder why bees are disappearing!

Você é de qual país Canadá ou EUA?

I’m so proud of you

Looking great! Hope the DE does the trick for you. Always happy to see a Lucas vid in the notifications!

Hi

Pumpkin patch is looking good! Love the flash back to the good old days at the beginning of the video!

Hey are you married? 😊if none I would love to meet you in person and marry you.. Yeah I'm serious 😊..from Philippines

Sorry to hear of your troubles again.(i watched you plant) Need better soil. Healther, non-disease plants survive better! Sorry to hear you went non organic pesticide. There are plenty of organics that work. How far down wind is the rest of your garden, tomatoes and peppers? You can't wait untill the pests are so out of control. Especially since you had knowledge of the Beatles in the area.Before you start such an adventure, especially if it is a dream, you need to plan. Plan not what and where only, but what ifs, as well. Plenty of research and video out there.Look, ask before you start. I row cover till flowers, watch daily, pick and spray.

This is so cool thank you! I always wanted to try blue or 🩷 pumpkins

What is that black plastic you have on the ground?
