Let's Plant Some Pumpkin Seeds!

hey there you guys welcome back today we are going to plant some pumpkins I uh have some pumpkin seeds and a spot in the garden plot and uh yeah I'll show you what I'm going to do and there's also an arbor we're going to grow them up and over uh instead of having them take up so much space I thought it was a good idea let's see if it works anyway let's get to planting so the garden plot has changed a little bit since last time you were here uh we've got the uh the trellises here for the peas and then we've got the trellis here for way up for the pumpkin uh as you can see so we're going to plant the pumpkins just down in here and I bought some manure I bought some uh well composted cattle manure here uh no specific brand uh you can use compost you can use manure you can use anything organic what we're going to do is we're going to make a mound of uh of organic material we're going to put it right there and then we're going to plant the seeds so uh let me just get the manure in place and we'll uh we'll start planting oh and then I got the hose to water everything in so this year I opted to go with uh two varieties of pumpkins I went with uh small sugar pumpkin which would be more for pie making and then I went for a jackal lantern pumpkins which are going to be a little bit bigger and or hopefully bigger and uh we can carve them for the season so I'm really excited about these but I have a small small space and they recommend only planting three seeds per Hill I've I've taken the manure and I've added to the hill and then I've dug in with the the regular soil that's in here it's a very sandy soil very well- draining soil so it'll be good now we've got the organic material which these are going to need because they're going to grow really really quickly and uh so let's just get to planting these and they want one 1 in depth for the seed and uh it takes about 8 Days 8 to 10 days for them to start sprouting so this will be exciting and like you saw the trellis they're going to grow up either side and uh hopefully not get too invasive over the rest of the garden it recommends three seeds per Hill so I'm going to plant six or so seeds per Hill just in case some don't grow if I can get enough in my hands so I'm just going to go in and very simply just poke them in no Rhyme or Reason they'll find their own way up just everywhere here in the hill I'll train them eventually to uh to go where I want them to go let's do some Jack lanterns now I can't get into these seed pods anymore or seed packs anymore okay got these seeds as well I'm not going to label I'm just going to let them be it'll be a surprise and I might end up pulling some of them out as time goes on if if I feel that I've got too many but right now that's it now we're just going to uh cover them over hopefully we've done them about an inch deep and uh let's add some water so that they uh can hopefully start their sprouting you want to plant these you want to try to plant these indoors Maybe four to six weeks before last frost um but uh I didn't have any time because I've been sick but uh it's beautiful outside now so I'm just going to plant them direct so but I would recommend planting plants by now but uh I don't have that option at the moment so anyway let's get the the hose sorry for my shoulder we'll just water it in well stay tuned for more updates on these pumpkins as they grow and more updates on the uh garden plot in general soon we're going to be planting some tomatoes so that's going to be exciting and uh yeah lots more updates to come I'm excited to see those ones and then a beat and and we're just planting in in succession all the way across this bed I thought that would' be overcrowded but let's see how the uh the companion planting works again I saw this in a book and I thought it would be really interesting and because I'm growing it such
