Ok but usually that “rooting hormone” is considered a cancer causer in California… Did you find something that does the same thing without being a cancer causer??? I ALWAYS WANT TO LEARN SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING YOUR KNOWLEDGE and EXPERTISE today!!!!
Bamboo is the same way…. New trees will grow from each node if left on the ground….. This is why stands of Bamboo can be grown to form a very dense fence….
Whenever I plant pumpkins they take everything over why would I do this where they would just take over my whole backyard. Nobody uses all the pumpkins
That’s cool and all man, but I’m pretty sure those are the variety that we all know and use around Thanksgiving/Halloween. They’re plenty good to eat, and bake well with a little nutmeg. The variety you should be looking for so far as pumpkins go are a hard skinned variety that is actually native to North America often called the pilgrims pumpkin. It’s still a squash, but it grows better and produces a better fruit for the people interested in really growing squash.
In some parts of southern Africa namely Zimbabwe and Zambia, we eat the pumpkin leaves as vegetables much like your collard greens in the US. However in Zambia we add groundnut powder and in Zimbabwe we add peanut butter. We obviously strip the prickley bit but just thought I would share a little of my heritage

So good to know.
and That's How You Feed, Your Horny Toad.
Rooting hormones?? Really ? Please go organic.
Now i can move to hawkins and blowout the competition.
If you cut the stem clean half in two just pretend it didn’t happen!
Probably protect it somewhat from vine borers too
Plant cocaine? :0
So you essentially got a smaller harvest on purpose.
Youll get more pumpkin from multiple than from one big one

Interesting. Does this work with melons too?
is it giant because yhe plant grows to long with lots of pumpkins? or is it an actual giant pumpkin? and do you pollinate?
Wait
Why do I have to remove all pumpkins but one!??
It won't be giant or something??
It works but can also introduce a lot of disease so be careful
no need for root hormone, just put them underground and they will root with out issue

If he can grow an actual dog from this, I'll eat my hat.
Is this same for butternut squash or cucumbers?
I wonder if burying the vine also deters squash stem borers?

It also makes it harder for the squirrels to ruin your Vine

Can I use something like raw honey mixed with cinnamon for rooting hormone?
Can you do this when it still has flowers?
Omg I was wondering if I could do this. I can't wait to grow pumpkins next year
Does thisvapply to watermelon?
Do you have a full video on your giant pumpkin? Asking for a friend
Let's grow our own vegetables because the stores are so full of chemicals, also let's give our home grown vegetables lots of chemicals.
But why? Like… are giant pumpkins worth it? Are they like cucumbers where if they get too large they're just 70% seeds?
This secret knowledge shouldn't just be put about willie-nillie. It could be dangerous. Those 🎃 can break your foot.

Okay, but what about dealing with squash bugs? Will this work to prevent them from killing my plants? Or is there a better method?
So it's like top budding weed cool
He gets giant pumpkins because he lives next to a nuclear power plant, just like in the Simpsons.
You can eat the Pumpkin leaf 🤤
I'm disappointed. You forgot about giving your pumpkin milk. Yes this is a real thing people.
A good thing to remember if you grow pumpkins.
I see you left several male flowers attached. Doesn’t that use up vital energy? I would think they should be removed.
