Growing Giant Pumpkins 2022 Episode 7 - Secondary Positioning, Fertilizing, Wind Protection
Trying to grow a 2000lb Giant Pumpkin - week-by-week series
EPISODE 7 - June 4th - June 5th
At this time of year the plant is growing fast in multiple directions. The secondary vines require some organization to get them positioned where I want them.
The plants get some frequent applications of soluble fertilizers to supplement what's in the soil.
And finally wind is a major risk to these leafy plants, so I'm trying out some wind protection that some other, better growers have been using with success.
BTW - all this year's videos now have captions in them to explain some of what I'm doing.
