Tips for Pumpkin Squash growers

[mahjong]

I learned this secret from an old timer,and it surely works.When you plant pumpkins or squash when they start to flower remove some of the flowers from your plants,not all of them cause you want some of them.Once the pumpkin or squash starts to grow,this is the important part.If you know of any dairy farmers in your area ask if they would give you some Colostrum Milk,most will do that if asked. You take the milk and a syringe and give the plant a shot of milk in the vine.Do this a couple times a week,you surely will see a difference.I've done this before to pumpkins and had one that weighed 180lbs.When my neices were little kids(about 6yrs.old) I put them inside the pumpkin and took a pic.lol If I put the lid back on the pumpkin you wouldn't have know they were inside. Try it,you will be amazed.

My dad does the same thing to melon vines, to get the bigger melons (well, he doesn't shoot it full of milk, LOL)

Spiked watermelon,my favorite.When you do the milk thing you shoot about 5cc into the vine.If your using Burpee seeds they tend to love it.Any plant related to the pumkin you can do this with.

Darn, I really been craving watermelon since I saw them in the grocery store about a week ago. But they are way too expensive!
