Planting pumpkins for a big fall harvest

It's that time of year when the pumpkins get planted in preparation for the fall season. But this year, I'm trying something different by using a biodegradable cover to suppress the weeds. We'll see how it goes, and I'm excited to take you along for the ride. Here's how I prepped the space!

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

My problem isn't with bugs or weeds, but groundhogs! I won't use poisons, so I have one that's lived here for a few years. He eats the leaves off my pumpkins and zucchini plants. I don't know how he can do it with the zukes because those things are picky! So I try to throw him things like carrots, cabbage leaves and broccoli leaves to keep him distracted. He's already climbed a 5 foot chicken wire fence to get to my pumpkin patch. I'd be mad if he wasn't so darn cute.

Wow! Prayers for your pumpkins.

[@louisewarren6472]

You’re a very gifted young man!

[@cbass2755]

Isn’t he? Wonderful young man….

[@MommaLlama]

Kaleb your enthusiasm brings me so much joy! Happy 4th of July!!!🇺🇸☀️🦅

[@lynnbostick4734]

I love that you are always trying new methods….i also try to do the same. Moved in with my dad two years ago soil is sandy in his allotment. Raised beds are the answer this fall I’ll put in new raised beds and in the bottom I’ll put fall leaves to decompose over winter then soil. Love your video’s thank you for sharing!!!

[@tammydeschenes4857]

Oh can’t wait to see how your pumpkin patch makes out this year! Not only will the plastic keep the present weeds at bay but will also kill whatever seeds you tilled up. Helping prepare the soil for next season. Great way to prep the area for no till gardening in the future.

[@ChristineHemmert]

Here's to your pumpkin patch flourishing! Enjoy all your videos.......very pleasing and educational!

[@charlenewilliford6957]

Will keep following the pumpkin patch with high hopes🧙🏽‍♂️

[@davidkeefe9468]

I hope this works for you. Pretty smart idea. Look forward to follow up videos

[@canusa234]

Excited to see them grow and harvested.

[@user-uh7og2vt3p]

Excited to see what happens with the pumpkins 😊

[@terrydaniels4137]

Happy 4th Kaleb. You bring me so much joy and I smile. Thank you.💖💯🌊

[@marymohan4034]

You are amazing at what you do your hand working and always helping everyone.your garden looks so lush.thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

[@krismacdonald6894]

I hope after all that work you get a great harvest. Can’t wait to see all the pumpkins and squash you get and how you use them. I love your positive attitude and the knowledge you share. (I have the same watering can and I love it. I wish I could find more like it)

[@user-jb9dj7os4x]

You are one of the best.You never seem to get tired ❤

[@tinaclauson5238]

Is it possible to go over what products you use and how you use them? Like how do you apply it to the plant? I grow pumpkins but battle squash bugs. I don't use insecticide s, but not against using something safer to keep those bugs gone. But what is safer to use and why is it safer? Thank you for any help you can give. Love your videos and your sunny straight up disposition. Very refreshing. 😊🧡

[@ginger76661]

Kaleb- you've widened your knowledge on plants & soils tremendously on your farm...... while tilling makes the soil nice and loamy for planting, tilling tears apart the soil structure aggregates that ,microbes and organisms took a year to build with there "glue".....Maybe next year- you could try no- tilling --even if only on 1/2 the pumpkin area...... healthy plants are a reflection of a healthy soil. the USDA-NRCS off there has a ton of into on soil health..... Hugs from IOWA.

[@reneeadolph1309]

Definitely want to try this!

[@llps1466]

Do hope to see how this progresses! Thanks!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Thank you Kaleb! I’m trying a pumpkin patch for the first time this year! Let’s think success this year!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

I love this idea! ❤

[@dbojo1]

I just realized you’re the male Martha Steward. 😍 You’re amazing. Love all your videos. 😊

[@bethjohnson8234]

Great idea

[@jeangardensinIllinois]

Good information! Thanks

[@crystaldance5731]

Are you going to use them for Halloween I love how you do Halloween kaleb ❤️😊

[@cynthiamuscarello2368]

I learned a lot. Thanks

[@jenniferrush8231]

I planted a pumpkin patch this year too. We have squash vine borer bad in mn! And i have spent a decade battling them. This yeah i put insect row covers on them. Im going to let them get very large and then remove the insect row cover. The other way i have had success battling them besides i injecting with bt was burying the stems. Keep the stems buried and you will beat out the vine borer! I just can this year because i used agfabric because its a new spot thats very very weedy and on a hill so i wanted to protect the soil from erosion too.

[@laurenbutler3452]

cool

[@lorenarmenti6295]

Thank you! Eager to learn what organic methods you use to fend off vine borers.

[@dianniaaffalter6698]

Does Joel help you with the gardening. I’ve learned so much with your video help. So thankful for your knowledge and easy suggestions

Happy 4th Kaleb, made your potato salad today (3rd) time our neighbor made your white sweet salad, just think, your recipes enjoyed today in Saint Helena, CA

[@WyseGuide]

Hi Leslie! I love hearing that! So glad you guys are making them. Have a great rest of the holiday!

[@carmelabologna9051]

I "accidently" grew a pumpkin in a pot and I was amazed at how well it did! The plant literally took over my small backyard. There were many flowers but I noticed only a few of them emerged as pumpkins and those were the ones that had a little "ball" on the end. I ended up with two giant sized pumpkins and it was such a great joy to see them grow. But is it too late to plant them now? I live in Northern California!

[@sandycollins8049]

Love seeing the harvest of all you plant!! Didn’t one of those seed packets show use by 2014?

[@karlaplatt5538]

Kaleb - I'm a new subscriber and I'm so glad I found you! Can I respectfully suggest a video on strawberries? I searched through your videos and found recipes and shorts but I would love to hear about how you grow them, varieties you grow, and most importantly, how you combat insects and the insects you battle with them.

[@WyseGuide]

Hi there! I actually do have a few longer videos about strawberries. If you search "Planting strawberries Wyse" or "different types of fertilizer Wyse" on KZbin, you should be able to find information about my strawberries in both videos. Hope this helps! 🍓

[@joyinthewind1]

I love pumpkins! Which variety do you use for making pies? Do you pick them early to finish the harvest without pests or is the ripening process needed on the vine? I trust your experience and taste better than the standard choices.

[@christinestraub1994]

Question: Will the rainfall get absorbed in the ground with this product…seems to be great idea for weed suppression, but how does each plant receive enough water with just the small tear for planting the seeds in….Kaleb love all your videos! You are my inspiration to my small Kentucky gardens❤️

[@BonnieHaley]

Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bevstegeman]

Where do you get the stainless steel fabric pins?

[@algg78]

I have moles and voles. How do you manage this type of issue?

[@JSAC66]

Kaleb, pumpkins grow roots all along the long vines to get water and nutrients; the plastic impede that access or will the roots be able to break the barrier? 🎃🎃🎃

[@davinadavies3703]

My neighbor, puts plastic down,,, and then plants the pumpkins on one end and let the vines , Crawl way down the plastic,, and he does at least four sometimes five different pumpkin colors,, and they turn out big

[@emmaharrison1399]

Will you use Gardentone at any point? I have one mystery volunteer pumpkin growing! Oh, does cross pollination occur?

[@ClaraSunshine]

Could you gave us the link to buy this material please (plastic roll, etc.). I will use it. Thanks
