I grew both of my 1900+ pound pumpkins last year at only 10-12’ from the crown of the plant. Looking good!

Wow! How many square feet did the plant end up at? Both seem a little slow out of the gate but they are swelling and growing. Steady

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric Each plant was just over 1,000 square feet by the end of the season. At pollination, the plants were only about 175 square feet.

Thank you for the updates. What is the white thing you have next to the pumpkin?

Ice pack. I tried to keep the female blossom cooler when I pollinated. I replaced the ice pack daily for about 3 days. Thank you for watching!

@@Giantpumpkinswitheric ok, it looked like some type of monitor?
@Giantpumpkinswitheric3 ай бұрын
Oooo yes. Near the unopened female at the end of the main vine. That is a temperature monitor that goes into the house. Trying to make sure the female does not get up over 80 degrees or so

What is a "stump" cover?

Sometimes I put something over the stump so it does not get watered or rained on. Sometimes I put them over a vine injury as well. Helps the wound dry out and stop rot
