Growing Giant Pumpkins 2022 Episode 10 - Fertilizing, and September Maintenance
Trying to grow a 2000lb Giant Pumpkin - week-by-week series
EPISODE 10 - September 3rd
The pumpkins have grown a lot in August. The patches are full of leaves, and all the vines have been terminated. Now all the growth goes to the pumpkins. It's still hot during the day, but is getting colder at night so the pumpkins are covered in comforters/duvets overnight. I'm fertilizing them about once a week, and watering every day that it doesn't rain.
Less than 4 weeks until the big weigh-off competitions start.
BTW - all this year's videos now have captions in them to explain some of what I'm doing.
