I could but I tend to plant more than I am going to grow. So I just do them in containers and give away the ones I don’t want to plant. Mark

Well yesterday turned into a disaster. The kids and grandkids came over for Mother’s Day and a bbq. Well while I was tending the grill,my 4 year old granddaughter went in to the greenhouse and pulled all my pumpkin plants to give to her mother as a present. By time I got to them they were not...

Everything is looking Great R2elk!! Mark

Looking GREAT!!!!! Mark

I can see why!!! Our last frost was on April 25. We have had temps in the lower 80’s to mid 70’s during the day and in the 60’s at night. My tomato plants and peppers have been in since early April. Right now our problem has been a lot of rain. But since I grow everything in mineral tubs it...

Hey R2elk, I am hoping to get mine transplanted next week. It has rained nonstop for the last 2 weeks. I got my seedlings planted in the green house they are about 2 weeks old. I will be watching for your post. Mark

Good Morning R2elk, I was wondering if you prune your pumpkin vines after they have set fruit? I never have done it but was thinking of doing it next season. Mark

Well that sounds like some good stuff right there!!!! My grandkids get their pick first and then the animals get what’s left. We are just not very big pumpkin eaters, we usually have a couple around Thanksgiving and Christmas and that’s about it. Next year I plan on selling the bigger ones if I...

Just out of curiosity what do you do with the big pumpkins? I usually just feed the chickens and deer my pumpkins. Mark

I understand that!!!! Weather forecasters are just like Politicians CAN’T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY!!!!!!! Mark

Hey R2elk, Was wondering how the pumpkin is coming along? I know you said there was no new growth but sure like to see a picture of it when you take it off the vine. Mark

I forgot to mention that I grow everything in mineral tubs. There are are 13 3/4 holes in the bottom of the tubs for drainage. The soil mixture is a combination of potting soil and peat moss, and manure and perlite. Mark

That’s about what I do except I water for three hours and every three days. Unless we have extreme heat like we did this week, then I water every two days. We were getting temps of 102 to 103 this week and the feel like temps were 110 to 118. That’s just too damn hot for a old fat man!!!!😂😂😂 Mark

Hey R2elk, How often do you water your pumpkin patch? And you water heavy or moderate? Mark
