I like a good ol roast haha. I wasn’t familiar with any other ways to eat them apart from soup and pies lol. Jeez I need to get out more!!! Great vid :)
My son is 16 unsaid I wanted to plant pumpkins he said “it takes 100 days to grow a pumpkin “ I laughed and asked if he learned that in elementary school he said, yup it’s the only thing i remember 😂
Oh wow I wonder if conditions can effect that 🤔 be interested to find out. Having multiple vines can help to try get more but I have also had big flushes of the same a few times.
This happened to me too last year! Although it was my zucchini’s. 2 plants and both only gave me one each to harvest and after that they only produced female flowers.
Up north pumpkins went crazy. Too big really as will take a few weeks to get through each now our bully has passed, as he loved pumpkin which got us growing them. We aim for 30 a year to store, normally lose a few to rot when storing so we allow for that. Courgettes give us half a bucket every few days for past 6 weeks and still pumping, from 4 plants and I grow them in a tomato wire cone support so off the ground . Haven’t watered hoping to slow them down as have used all of google recipes now haha …still 4 or so a day. Got a 2 week holiday in Aussie coming up. Can only imagine what we are going to come home too.
Complete video on pumpkins and squashes thank you! Soup is my favorite dish and I also add half a teaspoon of cumin powder along with curry powder. Tastes amazing. Didn’t know we can eat young leaves as well. Brilliant. Any tips on eating seeds without the hassle of tiresome peeling ?
grow pumpkins that have hulless seeds, I got my seeds called "emerald naked seedless pumpkin" from The Experimental Farm Nestwaork, Pepitas are hulless pumpkin seeds
Thank you, very informative. I have neighbourhood rats too, it’s very discouraging. When you cover the fruits or pumpkin, does it affect the ripening process?
Thank you for sharing a huge amount of helpful info. That soup looks amazing. My favorite squash is kabocha. It's so sweet rich and dense and it's like having the best sweet potato I've ever roasted. It's not dry but solid and the condensed flavor was amazing.ive yet to get it grown at the proper time to harvest a ripe one but look at the market for them. Sadly no one really seems to know about them and so it's hard to know for sure the steps to see it through. I was told they need another k I ND of squash like buttercup to have fruit but I grew three plants and they all had fruit but needed a couple more weeks before frost. The plants died before they were ready.
My mom gave me a kabocha. Lovely squash. Mine tasted like cucumber and the skin tasted like pistachio. All with a sweet potumpkin flavor. Was told it tasted like a melon mixed with a squash and pecan. But mom hadn't tried her own yet XD
Thank you for such an in depth guide! I'm excited to be trying several new varieties this year and I'm also going to try growing a few of the smaller ones (Uchiki Kuri and Sweet Lightning) up a trellis. Any opinions or advice about doing that? I know they can send roots into the ground along the vine so I worried they may not do as well on a trellis.
I was just seeing some female flowers and I was wondering if that's what they would look like bc the male flowers looked different. And I was correct 😁 And somet of the flower were already fertilized so now I know what to do when the other female flower blooms.
Hi Holly. I greatly appreciated this video. I, too, have a passion for growing pumpkins. I live on Long Island, NY and even though I'm on the other side of the globe your methods of growing pumpkins are similar to mine. An attestation to the durability and adaptability of this great garden gift: the pumpkin! Thanks.
Been wondering why my female pumpkin flower have been failing to produce mature pumpkins or rot. Now I know through your informative video. Thank you sister.
Try a local nursery rather than Bummings! Locals have a extras at great prices, support our local suppliers and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful, even recommending other nurseries if they can't help you out!!👍 My mum and bro went there for blueberry bushes and the lady carried on about how they aren't available for sale due to a biohazard and she didn't know when there'd be more and no one else would have them so don't even bother trying... At the local nurseries, there was no issue at all!
The best video I have found on growing pumpkins 🎃! Thank you very much for creating this video. I am attempting to grow some for the very first time in my tiny garden. Question??? Once the pumpkins begin to form, can the vines be trimmed to keep the energy focused on 1 or 2 pumpkins 🎃 or is best to let it grow wild? Love any input you may have. Love the recipe ideas 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Why the side of the leaves are brown? And can you explain a schedule to give niutritions. For example 4th day after germination give a fertilizer which has high nitrigion. Like that can you give a schedule?
Great information! Do you have a list of all the varieties you’ve grown somewhere? I’ve heard that moschatas are more resistant to vine borers, so I’m trying to collect all the kinds I can. And that tip about roasting skins with seeds…🤯…I’ll be trying that!
This was the best pumpkin video I've seen and so many great tips. Have you tried spraying garlic onto your pumpkin to deter rats?, would a glass cover or clear pot work better to protect the pumpkin and allow natural light?
Queensland blue is the number1 tastiest pumpkin in my opinion..great idea2 put a stick in where you plant the pumpkin plant! I just fertilised mine.my neighbours are not going to be happy!😀It was home made fish solution..great pollinating tips.Thankyou.🧡Apple cider vinegar is also a great tip!
I got a bit lost when you started talking about when to plant... Then I remembered that you're in a different hemisphere. LoL I'm still so glad I watched this though... Lots of useful info for pumpkin junkies! :)
I listen and watch many and all over. As Iisten sounds like you may be in Australia. Your area sounds a lot like mine which is Florida in 🇺🇸 I thank you for such an informative channel.
I am so very happy to see your video on pumpkins, I have a few very healthy ones that have come up in the compost area, so am looking forward to see how they produce , wish I could get those seeds that you showed on the video, but I am not able to obtain them here in the philippines, have a good day,
G'day Holly👋..& thanks for this excellent video👍👍 I'm a nearing 60yo Sandgroper and haven't 'gardened' much at all. Over the last couple of years I've been educating myself about making my own soils ... composting,worms,teas etc. In that time I've mainly grown from seed.. tomatoes, strawberries, as they're pretty easy to get going..too easy sometimes lol. But I just threw some pumpkin seeds into a pot, that was half-full of soil and it actually germinated. It was the wrong time of year as it was summer but it's still growing down the back there, but no fruit on it as I guess it was too late. But thanks to your video, I know when, how and every other thing on how to grow them. Also you being from Perth helps a lot, on planting, harvesting etc 😄👍 Really good video! Subbed 👍 ✌️ Edit: now to go through the rest of your videos and learn more. Cheers.
Fast forward to after 8 mins. To get steps on how to grow them. Thank you for sharing & for the tips♡ Ive watched like 10 different videos lol. Going to give it a try :)Subscribing & going to check out your other videos. Im going to try to start my 1st garden ever this year..so going to definitely need some help
The vine feeding it died Guess ready , harvest ?. Life Tassie . One flower . Next to other Twins ,! One growth, stopped . Other , Growing like Squash . Three more doubles . Close autumn . Kill or let grow ??.
Thanks very informative I had a good crop of self seeded grey pumpkins this year from a retired chook run and looked for a video on harvest and storage but am inspired to do allot next season my idea being to grow 1/4 acre next year for our local foodbank/community sharing stall that this year I supplied a couple of hundred Kg of Tomatoes and Courgettes to. Cheers from NZ.
Thank you so much, I am going to grow mine vertically in my new garden, following Monty Don and being in Denmark, which will give a short growing season. I have taken notes from this video of yours and thank you for the details in it.
Enjoyed your video, but recently i lost one of my pumpkin as it starts to grow in a pumpkin. I am wondering if it was eaten by a slug or rat as they are running riots in my garden when the cats are not around. Thanks in advance for your advice.
Thank you for the video; very helpful. When you water and feed the pumpkin, it is only at the base of the plant, or do you need to do it along the anchor roots as well? (without wetting leaves)
Ny the end of this video I will be asleep 😴 if I am still watching- you must love listening to yourself speak. Pull have said it in 10 minutes or less.
I actually watched the whole video and wrote down her recipe to make a good soup with the pumpkin. She topped it with crispy pumpkin leaves, seeds and a male flower. I didnt know you could even eat the leaves!!
@@rosedolch8637 good for you. It must be nice to have soooo much free time. I don’t have any so I need to listen to people that get the message across quickly and don’t ramble on.
I’m from Victoria town of Yarrawonga and thanks for some handy tips first year of growing in a mulch garden and the results are amazing is ur channel on Facebook as well love to show u my results
I have been gardening for years and Im growing pumpkins that volunteered out of my compost this year for the first time. They are so much fun, so thirsty and hungry and fast growing 😋
