Great harvest! I never heard of Trieste white, I should give it a try since I grew up 50 min away from the town of Trieste..

Yes, certainly recommended. A very heavy cropper.

[@prepperinireland2240]

Great! Because a load of pumpkins was about the only thing I managed to grow this year (thank you, Irish bloody weather!) along with kale. So I've picked a heap of them and more are ripening but I REALLY needed info on how to cure and store them. I found they did great on my raised beds of cardboard, straw, well rotted chicken bedding which created a fair bit of heat, surprised how much. Water...NO prob here. :/ I'm about to consider covering the ones still to ripen though with plastic as we've cold nights now and it "feels" like frost is on the way, so just in case....

[@homegardens7682]

Oh yes, a frost is certainly possible...

Wow Dan! That is so….. amazing!!! I’m so…. Jealous. Only kidding. I tried to grow pumpkins this year but not been successful. I’ve had only male flowers (and no female flowers). Not sure where I went wrong but i will give it another bash next year. I’ve harvested some beans a few days ago. So happy with that. All the best.

Thanks for all the great info. I'm not a newbie, and still found it so useful. We're always learning! I just love squash, it is such an amazingly sustainable food. Can you show us online when you open a big one, Dan? There is something soooo magical about seeing something opened up! Squash is pretty magical anyway. It warms my soul to think that people actually eat them now, rather than just lantern making. Or at least they eat the insides too. Thanks again Dan :)

Wow! Nice looking huge pumpkins!😀 In the states we are told to only grow those as a novelty. We are told they aren't good for eating...have you tasted yours yet? I bet they are okay for eating too.🙂 Like, I'm zone 8a...we get into the 100+ range normally during our summer and we grow pumpkins. Among other varieties I grow a small pie pumpkin in a container. I get at least 3 fruits per plant. One pumpkin is perfect for a pie.👩🏽‍🍳 You do some pretty cool gardening!👍

[@moezarty]

Hi Dan great video, and generally a very informative channel. I love how you grow lots of different types of veg and your tips are brilliant and on point. For pumpkins, I just wondered what date did you harvest these two and were there any telling signs that they were ready? I’ve watched other videos before and noticed that their vines were almost dead when they harvested theirs but your vine still looked quite lush. Additionally, what size bed is best? I ask because I have limited space and often plant lots of veg together. Considering this, do you recommend any suitable companions for an intensively planted bed where I intend to grow pumpkin?

[@homegardens7682]

Indeed! They could have been left to grow for longer but they would have been too heavy for me to lift! As big bed as possible for giants like these as they are hungry and spread. Smaller varieties would need less space. They sprawl so companion planting could be tricky. Maybe other sprawlers like squash etc can be good.

[@greeneyedflower2408]

Wow you are strong! Thank you for the video. I'm harvesting jumbo pink banana squash today. They are as big as the old oblong seeded watermelon. I'm so excited. :)

Giday mate great job with the pumpkins. They look very healthy. I was thinking maybe go into more of a demo of pollinating. I already do it for mine but other people learning may need a demo. Cheers, great videos

[@homegardens7682]

Hi there. I never hand pollinate pumpkins as the bees seem to do it round here (hopefully they will continue).

[@voxintenebris6367]

Wow Dan, I am seriously impressed! I thought you did well to get a pumpkin to that size and the shape/ colour is perfect. I bet the local kids are wondering what you will be doing with those. They look like the true pumpkins of children's books and films. It is when you have crops like that , that you need one of those basement come garage/ utility areas. I see a lot of people storing smaller squashes/ pumpkins for around 6 -8 months in ideal conditions. I think larger ones would be less likely to store long term. Really impressive results though. I guess the petit pan are already eaten? Let us know how the red corn cobs tasted after. Great work, 2021 was an ace year for you, well done!

[@homegardens7682]

Hi Vox. The red corn was "earthy" in taste. Very natural, not sweet like the commercial stuff. Still got a few bennings green tint.

[@allgoodthings8938]

Question I planted six seeds all six sprouted we had a storm and my largest plant broke close to the ground right at the base is there any way to save it? 😢 it was much larger than the other 5 pumpkin plants it didn't break completely off it is still partially connected

[@homegardens7682]

Good question. I wouldn't guarantee anything but maybe you could bind it with some tape. Grafting tape/flower arranging tape could work. Don't get your hopes up though.

[@christianandreoli5638]

Hello congratulations ... I wanted to know the botanical name of those super pumpkins .. I would like to try to grow them in Italy thanks

[@homegardens7682]

The variety is Pacific Giant. I am not sure the scientific name. Atlantic Giant is another large pumpkin.

[@georgecarlin2656]

13:30 I'm guessing you'll be eating this one for like 2 months. I wonder if its taste didn't degenerate because of its size, I'm guessing it didn't.

[@homegardens7682]

They retained their taste well, I am hoping this year to get some pumpkins again, they store well and can of course be made into soups etc. Great fun to grow as well.

[@LucasR-gv5ie]

Could you position the pumpkin as it’s growing so that the contact on the ground is on the bottom of the pumpkin. If not that’s okay I was just going to see if I could do that to keep the dull spot on the bottom

[@homegardens7682]

You can do that but try and do move it when it is small to avoid potential stem breakage etc.

[@carolinesalzman8758]

I have a bunch of mini ones growing but the big ones haven’t come in there are a lot of flowers how do I prune? Or should I prune?

[@janicealderson4329]

But what do you store them in? I have them in my front room at present as it is so hot outside some of them have been there for 6 weeks and I would like to put them in the porch!

[@homegardens7682]

To could do that but keep them dry. Bring them in before it gets cold. 10 degrees is a good temperature to store them.

[@jeffreyrossi5084]

I had a unusual year for pumpkins here in North Dakota. Started out great in May but then of course 3 months with less than an inch of rain had it's effects. Nature can be amazing though, the plants struggled all summer with drought and the heat wave (I did still do a lot of watering). We are having a warm September with no frost expected in the next two weeks which is amazing in itself. Now all of a sudden the pumpkins have taken off producing and they are all maturing at a miniaturized state to I guess produce seed. I did just grow Connecticut field and some sugar pumpkins this years, the mice got to the larger varieties. Your harvest was very impressive!!

[@homegardens7682]

I think I was just lucky considering I put very little effort into growing them.

[@bluemoon6625]

OMG those pumpkins! I love the look of them, but am unsure about the practicalities of eating them, when they are so huge. Will you freeze some down? Or perhaps they could be made into pumpkin soup and some could go into veg curries/stews. It would be a shame to waste any but once cut open the flesh won't keep for long.

[@homegardens7682]

I imagine freezing and pumpkin soup will be made. They are just about small enough to be maneuverable, any bigger would have been an issue!

[@Aw_tig]

Wow big pumpkins, they look great. I was wondering how you’ve been getting on this year with the lack of rain, it’s been a very dry year 🫤

How did the Pacific Giants taste? I thought they were mainly for show, or feeding to cows. If they taste good, that's an enormous yield of wonderful food for the year. But how do you keep them once you have cut into one? I have pressure canned surplus pumpkin in the past, but dealing with 40 kg of pumpkin would be very daunting!!
