Growing Giant Pumpkins 2021 Part 12 - Pumpkin Measuring, Foliar Feeding

Trying to grow a 2000lb Giant Pumpkin - week-by-week series

PART 12

The three pumpkins are between 18 and 20 days old each. We've had some wet weather in the past week and that's slowed down the pumpkin and plant growth - so a little behind my personal best growth rates. When the ground is so saturated the plants can't take up so many nutrients and the roots are probably lacking oxygen - I foliar fed Neptune's Fish & Seaweed to help the plants out. Other than that there's been a lot of broad forking and vine burying. Keep on growing!
