[@ocoot]

Mike where can one aquire some of these top genetic seeds

[@MakinEmAtNight26]

Where did you get that sleepy joe heated seed starter set up?

[@jaybullet4026]

I’m going to try my hand at growing a giant but have to get it done in a raised bed my nabors around me don’t want to do anything about there pests and gophers so I figured this is my best bet to control that issue

[@philipbeck7862]

Mike, maybe Tons Of Fun can be a title for your friendly competition

[@taskforcealto]

Do a tutorial on how to get rid of woodchucks!

[@philipbeck7862]

I have 2 Texas Blue Lacy's that are keepers of the garden They are masters at ridding woodchucks I made the mistake of using bone and blood meal one year they ransacked the garden

[@philipbeck7862]

If you choose to live trap woodchucks and drop them off in your competitors patch They can't resist a sweet melon rind

I start all my pumpkin seeds by paper towel method...this year I'll probably start 100 seeds, so paper towel method is best for me, so this way I know what I put into pots will actually pop up from the soil a few days later...saves on wasting resources (soil/pots) if seeds are duds...so then you don't file down edges of seeds?

[@MobyMikePumpkins]

I dont file the seeds when starting in pots. I have done the paper towel method and I do recommend filing seeds with that method as it seems for whatever reason they don't want to naturally pull off in the soil

[@McMillinOutdoors]

Thanks for the great video, keep making more. I germinated a 2593 on April 10th. I will be watching, hopefully I will get mine to grow as well as you do. I hope you get that 2500 pounder this year! Do you grow in a greenhouse or outside?

[@MobyMikePumpkins]

I grow outside with small hoophouses to start the year.

[@jimford8892]

What recipe do you use for that woodchuck

[@Worldwidegiantgrowers]

I think the recipe had a little lead it but I’m just guessing I don’t know for sure

[@FullertonRangers13]

How do I go about getting a 2261?

[@tretre1692]

Where do you find these specific seeds? Should I not buy them off burpee or what ever producer that starts lie that

[@sawboneiomc8809]

Ah....did that woodchuck go to his happy place!?....🤣

[@christophershortway4792]

Hey Mike, I was told that the 2261 was throwing alot of ribbon vines and what not. Any truth to it? I'm starting 2 of them hoping for the best.

[@MobyMikePumpkins]

Havnt heard anything on the ribbon vines, its always possible. Good Luck

[@joaniespencer5570]

How do I get a giant 2 lb 200 lb seed I have sent away for free 2050 seeds but never received them yet

[@kennypridemore5466]

Joan , join a giant pumpkin club near you and they will help you out with seeds and know how .... just remember, these people put a LOT of time and effort and energy , And MONEY to grow these giants , so the seeds are not cheap, expect to pay between $25 to $60 for a single seed with great genetics, plus it financially helps both the grower and the club he belongs to .

Your pumpkin have a higher IQ than Brandon😉
