Planting Pumpkins in the Field by My House! | Gardening with Wyse Guide

I recently planted a whole swath of pumpkins in the field beside my house. You might ask: why do I plant so many pumpkins? I love to decorate with them in the fall and I love to grow varieties that you can't find easily. Plus, I grow a decent amount of squash that I eat all throughout the fall and winter.

Best quote ever! It is a privilege to grow our food. Love that!

We planted our veg garden directly into mushroom compost last year and our pumpkins went crazy. They grew everywhere, on top of our stone walls and behind stone walls. I especially love the ones on top of the walls. So Halloweeny. Nothing like mushroom compost. We had a hot drought that summer and I barely had to water or weed. We got some mushrooms but that’s good.

Ever since watching your kitchen cabinet refinishing video in 2020 as my wife and I prepared to do ours, (which turned out fantastic) I’ve watched most everything you post. I love your charisma, humor, and teaching ways. So glad I found you. Cheers

Just found you yesterday! So impressed with your work ethic and knowledge. I was raised on a large ranch in north central Texas (flat land). The soil was too clayish to grow much, but my father, a livestock rancher, was very proud of his hay crops. I once asked my father if Texas A & M taught him everything he needed to be a successful farmer/rancher. He told me that although he read a lot of material at college and earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Husbandry, the farmers on either side of our ranch helped him the most! As for the women, my mother, and grandmothers did a lot of canning (dilled okra, pickled beets, plum jelly). They have all passed on now. I miss them and find myself longing to do the things I fondly remember they did. Thanks again and happy growing!

This is a great video, I have watched it several times. Since I was starting my seeds indoors, rather than directly in their new homes, I did not follow the vinegar jugs approach, but I did use some small, plastic apple sauce cups. It worked out great, I have Jack O' Lantern and Connecticut Field pumpkin seedlings erupting all over the place! Thanks for the inspiration!

Fun video! I can’t wait to see the progress and also to watch the cornfields take off! Reminds me so much of my grandparents cornfields in Missouri. What great memories. ☺️

You have so much experience growing up on a farm, love that you share all of it with us!! Thank you, love your videos!!

Have you ever tried soaking your seeds in water for a few hours before planting? I do, and the germination rate is up over 90%. I just soak the seeds, plant 3 in a clump and then thin as necessary. Most of the seeds will germinate so you can plant fewer seeds and thus saving money. Just a little tip. 👍👍

You’re living my dream life. I’d do anything to have a big area like this to plant! Hope you have a huge bounty this year!

Kaleb, I love to decorate with pumpkins 🎃 especially the rare, unique ones. I’ve never grown them but I have grown some little gourds to use in my fall decor. Can’t wait to see how your do this year!

[hartercattlecompany]

Very helpful video buddy, I’m hoping to have a heck of a pumpkin patch this year, love your jug technique

[zuzuspetals]

Hey, Kaleb. Your handwriting has character! Did I see “Polar Bear” on your list? Have you tried Red Kuri? I just put my seeds in this morn. Beautiful country! Beautiful smile. 😉
