More pumpkins? Why not?! We’re going to give fall pumpkins a try and see if we can get them harvested before Halloween. Do we have enough time? We’ll just have to see.

  1. Hi Travis, what do you do about stink bugs? Do you spray for them? They are now starting on my tomatoes and peppers..thankyou.

  2. Looks like you’re doing pretty good glad to see you’re making a good recovery, still holding off the planting south Anna butternut , it needs cools down some. I have noticed it seems like every seed supplier is going to 10 seats per packet anymore for a lot of stuff

  3. I just planted seeds for some Howden pumpkins about a week and a half ago. Hopefully can get some by the end of Oct or the beginning of Nov (here on the edge of 7B and 8A ). First time growing pumpkins.

  4. Do you have chiggers there? Sounds like a chigger haven , and near tomatoes, a high maintenance crop, sounds likely to get you a good crop of bites!! LOL!

  5. Hey Travis – regarding the cover crop situaiton you described…would it be possible to plant a dwarf bush bean variety as a cover crop in that scenario? I'm assuming the dwarf size wouldn't out-compete the pumpkin plants, and the beans would restore some nitrogen back into the soil. I'd also guess the dwarf beans would kill off with the frost, or mature in about 60 days and start to die back. I guess all this would be dependent upon the dwarf bush bean variety and the plant could hold up to pest pressurea, drought, PM. As a bonus, you could have some bush beans via "intercropping" with the pumpkins if it worked out. I saw some bush beans marked down 75% on a popular seed supply site and thought about using them as a cover crop. Thoughts?

  6. Thank you very much for taking about intercropping, cover cropping and rotating. Where I live things really build up in the soil and you can get bad problems not rotating and not planting grasses and legumes. I've been trying to figure out best practices but there are a lot of factors to juggle. Again, thanks for your work!

  7. Are you worried at all about Pickleworms? Last year they destroyed all my cushaw. This year I have insect netting covering them. It’s working pretty well, but I am always looking for advice.

  8. I had an idea to grow a bunch of pumpkins (&flowers) this fall to kickstart my cut flower farm. Lots of varieties from Johnny's: Cinnamon Girl, Carnival, Casperita, Renegade, Early Giant, Orange Smoothie, Flat Stacker, Charisma, Goblin Eggs, Daisy Gourd, and Harrowsmith. Whew! I sure hope we can get a good crop. Zone 8a here.

  9. As always great new video. I think I would use that seeding method myself. Alot easier on your back regardless of injury. I found a 10oz pack of innoculent for 12$ on True Leaf. (I was about to order thru Walmart, but when I researched where they are shipped from (Utah) I went straight to the website. And I am going to give them a try. Unfortunately I did not take into consideration how I'm going to store what I don't need until I get ready to plant my cover red rippers again. Or any other pea.

  10. Your videos are always perfect timing! My youngest wanted to try to grow some butternut squash. We live in Florida and its still 93 degree highs but we're going to try to grow some this year.

  11. Have you tried calabacitas (aka Mexican zucchini)? They're all over the farmers markets in tbe Southwest, but it took me a while to figure out the name seed companies use for the cultivar (tatume) so I could grow them myself. I've heard they also turn into nice pumpkins if you ignore them, so I'm not gonna be aggressive with my harvesting.

  12. Why do you not spray liquid seven concentrate on your winter squash that you're going to eat?
    I had to spray it on mine it was the only thing that would keep the squash bugs and the cucumber beetles off.
    The label says you can still eat stuff after it's been sprayed with it

  13. Man we gotta talk fall sweet onions.
    I know hoss is on the past but the boss tool chart says not recommended for a fall crop. I’m some 8a and you are zone 8b and you get your onions in the ground come November?? When should I start them in seed trays? I’m stressing here. I don’t care what google says, I go by what Travis says. Maybe a video??
    Thanks man

  14. Travis glad to of found you. I didn't know why the last few months why you weren't on Hoss tool all at once. I ask and ask about you and no one would tell me from Hoss tool and only today someone told me where to find you. I went back to maybe find where you went and nothing about you was left on hoss no videos or nothing. Glad to see you Travis.

  15. Crimping is easy on certain varieties like wheat/ triticale/ winter rye/ hairy vetch …a vetch with rye is an old standard…vetch with triticale matures closer to the same time for easy rolling

  16. I'll be interested to see how this pans out. I tried growing some Seminole pumpkins last year through the fall and I didn't have a lot of success. I only harvested two or three before the vines caved to the chilly nights.

  17. I'm sorry you have a back problem Travis, I've had to have two back surgeries and I can tell you if you can do something else, like chiropractor and get some pain relief, do that.

  18. Not sure if this has been said, but what if you just let the cover crop go to seed since it’s a fall plot, then the seeds will just naturally sprout in the spring. Then you get an early cover crop in the spring and you can terminate it before it goes to seed for your summer vegetables.

  19. Hey Travis, just caught this video. I’m growing three varieties of pumpkins this fall. Diablo, hooligan, and blue bayou. I’ve had good germination and healthy growth so far. But I’m really starting to battle the squash bugs. So far the only thing I’ve tried is sevin spray from the big blue box store. I can’t tell if it’s working yet. Other than that about once every week and a half or so, I just get the eggs and the bugs when I see them. Just wondering if there are any good household remedies you’ve had success with?
