let's plant our Atlantic giant pumpkins
0:04
yes it's time to get my Atlantic giant
0:06
pumpkins in the ground we showed you the
0:09
other week of them growing and planting
0:12
them so now we need to plant them out in
0:14
the ground so that hopefully we get some
0:17
massive pumpkins growing that's what we
0:19
want we probably won't get massive ones
0:23
I planted the seeds a bit too late we
0:24
should have started them off about March
0:26
time but I only planted them 2 to 3
0:29
weeks ago so yeah they won't get massive
0:31
ones on but you never know you never
0:33
know fingers crossed we might get some
0:35
decent sized ones so let's have a look
0:36
at our pumpkin plants
0:38
so these are our pumpkin plants look at
0:41
them they look really nice and healthy
0:43
some have got a few yellow spots on them
0:45
but we'll see we'll see how they get on
0:47
but yeah these are looking great nice
0:49
massive leaves so let's get them in the
0:52
ground and ready to start growing so
0:55
we've dug over a bed ready to plant
0:57
these in got all the bindw weed out that
1:00
we can so we just need to space these
1:02
out and get them planted in the ground
1:07
so that's all 10 plants planted you'll
1:10
probably say I've planted them too far
1:11
together but I'll grow them in different
1:14
directions so that they don't interfere
1:16
with one another but with sunk plant
1:18
pots at the side of them because
1:20
pumpkins don't like to be watered near
1:22
the stem it can cause rotting so
1:24
watering into the plant pot waters
1:27
directly to the roots and helps water
1:31
them that way obviously they'll get
1:33
water on them when it's raining and
1:35
stuff like that but it does help with
1:37
watering into the plant pots so next up
1:39
is we just need to give them some feed
1:42
and then water them all into the ground
1:46
so as always I feed my plants with fish
1:48
blood and bone we'll put some around the
1:50
plants and we'll also put some in the
1:52
pots for when we're watering as well to
1:54
feed them with because pumpkins are
1:57
heavy feeders so you've got to feed them
2:00
once a week to get great crops from them
2:03
when they start to get the flowers on
2:05
you can water them with tomato feed and
2:07
that will help encourage the fruit as
2:09
well so let's get some food around them
2:12
so that is food put all around the
2:14
plants make sure you don't get the blood
2:16
fish and bone on the plants because it
2:18
can burn them so all we've got left to
2:21
do is water them it is starting to rain
2:23
here so obviously that'll water them as
2:25
well but yeah we'll give them a good
2:27
watering to get them settled into the
