I'd be happy to grow a 25 lb pumpkin

How about putting a couple inches of natural wood mulch down on top of the weed fabric in between your irrigation lines??? Wouldn't that be enough to hold the fabric down and help kill the weeds??? Then at the end of the year you just pull the fabric and leave the mulch, the mulch will be awesome fertilizer in a couple years, do that every year and you will grow even bigger pumpkins...

Weeding vs hot springs ….. tough choices.

Happy Father’s Day❤❤❤

It’s the giggles for me!

Looks like a great time 👍🎃

Looks cool I wish being out west

Brad calls that a little breeze! Lol

Looks so much better... now your cooking. You know flowers are a nice little gift ;)

😮

That’s scary😮

Looking like your timing for a trip up here to Montana is just about perfect weather now that it finally warmed up, haha. We had 30 last week over night. First time growing giant tomatoes with one of the seeds from your state record. Excited to see what it can do

Glad the weed problem had a simple solution. My solarification suggestion with clear plastic probably wouldn’t have worked for you since you’re already in a greenhouse.

No shade like tarp from the fence to a post

👍🎃

Dude, I don’t know which looks better. The weeds are the pumpkins both look great.

Been there before with the "baby will be here earlier than expected one way or the other" bit before. Wishing you all health and happiness.

bro can you give seeds 😅

Hi. Nice video I’m trying to grow a big pumpkin and like to know Should I pollinate the female flower the day it opens or wait a day And we’re it’s at there is a leaf should I leave the leaf or cut it off

idol chad can you give me seed please

Growing a giant pumpkin once a female bloom is on theplant how long does it take for that flower to open?

You have to use black weed fabric to kill weeds. White allows light and as you see, encourages weed growth

What insecticide do you use?

Great video! this is my first year using different fertilizers so this helped a ton. I got an EC meter but just as a good starting point for something like 13-13-13 granule, how much per a square foot would you recommend to put out? And how often would be normal?

Which brand do you have in mind when you say, "the good weed fabric"?

Looking good 👍🎃

And weed fabric is supposed to make life easier, go figure 😂

Your plants look good. I got 2.5 acres of regular pumpkins planted this year. I cut way back on what I plant. My wife and I are not getting any younger and the fertilizer is 50% higher this year than 2 years ago. I don't have any of my big ones in the ground since I had to get my other ground planted. before Memorial Day. If I get some going I will do videos on my UA-cam page. Thanks for the free seeds this year. I got the tomatoes planted you sent me back about April 15th. We got a frost that killed 3 of them/. I still have three left.

If the pumpkins do as well as the weeds you are in for an awesome season!!!

Awesome cross. Good luck Chad.

How much do you fertilize with other fertilizers on the main vine throughout the season and how do you know to do enough

Hi my plant is 4 weeks now and 200cm long, my question are how much long with nitrogen ? best regards Ole from Denmark

theres stuff called panda film thats black on one side and white on the other which would probably work well for weed control and light reflection, maybe expensive so id check for the alibaba equivalent

What biologicals are you planning to dose daily?

I would put clear plastic over the fabric you already put down. Like someone already said, solarization. It’ll speed up germination of the weed stock at the top of your soil, heat them up, and hopefully kill them in a few weeks. The clear plastic creates another “mini greenhouse” on the soil and should raise temps up enough to get the weeds going and kill then off. However, you’re already in such a controlled environment you may not be able to achieve the heat you would need to kill the weeds. I’ve done solarization the past two years to prep the garden and pumpkin patch. It helped tremendously, but I also don’t till, and I have a much warmer spring than you. One downside is that it restricts oxygen to the soil so in your case I would roll it back several feet in front of the plant as I go, or pull it up all together after I let it sit for a few weeks. If you still want to roundup everything before laying out the plastic then go for it. But I’d opt for clear plastic over black. I think you’d reap some benefits there

Chad, what is your soil pH?

For weeds you could try solarization. I recently heard of it and need to try it. But it takes 4-6 weeks which you may not have at this point. Basic idea is to tightly cover wet soil with clear plastic for a few weeks super heating the soil to kill weeds and seeds and pests. My first attempt at giants recently sprouted. It will be fun to see what happens

Could you cover the weed fabric with compost?

Maybe get rid of the existing weed fabric kill the weeds and put down biodegradable plastic mulch. Works great for rows on my pumpkin farm and you till it into the soil when you’re done.

Can you just cover the white fabric with black plastic to block the light and kill the existing weeds?

Go with new and better weed barrier..or none at all. That white light dimmer will not do you any good

Pull sheet off torch em, no chemicals. Some 6 mill black plastic…

I "won" on the number draw #67. Emailed Jason, twice. Have never heard a response. How have other's experiences been?

Interesting on the weed fabric, but I like the idea of white weed fabric!

That strong magnet could throw off your pH/EC/ppm readings...maybe?

👍🎃

I think the word you were looking for is COMPOST, they are full of COMPOST! 😂😂😂😂😂

Was wondering why the weed fabric looked like it was floating. Kinda defeats the purpose… seems odd but not familiar with it
