WARNING Will Robinson Warning!!
Dont go in the post office and ask for the cheapest rate possible.This is what you will get.
The seeds at this rate will go through the rollers.You might get a seed in one piece and you might get it in 10 pcs.I understand a lot of people dont understand how it works.
"What we have here is a failure to communicate"
You need to ask for non machine fragile shipping 2.32 cents
So I keep making posts like this.I will send this with seeds and postage due.Over 75 bubbles now Im not eating the postage.Sorry.This is the last shipment of 1317s & 1947s.The 2015 allowance is spent.If your club didnt get seeds sorry.The 1768s 1641s 1609s 1395s 1124s still a few to send out if your club wants them
I will be deleting the 1317 & 1947.5 from WorldClassgardening.com as the supply is petered out.
Sending out 100 seeds for school kids to grow in Easton Ma.Great thing they have going.Teaching gardening to school kids.Todd Sandstrum is leading this with others.
Back due to popular demand The Bubba Challenge.I decided to open early enrollment on this one.The other contests will open in February sometime.At which time I can reveal the new product line we will be using in 2015.For 35$ you will be entered into the Bubba Challenge & get 1-1947.5 seed 1-1460 Gehweiler & 1 1317 Cross from Andy box.The seeds were stolen from the 1503.So Andy has a back up cross with the 1317 as the male.This will be limited to the first 50 entrants.So if you want in?Send me a note to sign up at Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com Then follow up by sending a check for 35$ or send 36$ using pay pal Payment@worldwidegiantgrowers.com
If you dont know how it works heres the link http://worldwidegiantgrowers.com/Bubba_Smokey_Challenge.html
Im doing this early due to the high demand for this seed.If you dont want in this contest you can buy a 1947 at OVGPG seed sale or go to an auction.I will let people in after the 50 seeds are gone,But you must have your own 1947.5 Clementz or seeds from Chad or Andy.I already have a few early sign ups so I figured it only fair to post this.If you have prize money coming from 2014 you can have the 35$ deducted the same goes for the T-Shirts.Thank you Very Mulch! Questions??Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com
1450 Box estimated had a soft spot on bottom when picked up.This is the seed you will get with the Bubba Challenge in 2015. 1634 female Werner X 1317 male Clementz .You want to grow Big? Heavy? Orange? This seed should grow a beauty!You also get the 1460 Gehweiler & the 1947.5 Clementz.Deal of the season.

Paps right I did crap my pants when I opened it.Thanks Ron for pulling my ticket.Thanks Pap for helping the Kids get coats.Great cause!

Mark,
I am going to join WWGG and I just wanted to know where I could find the submittal form. I could not find it on the page that gave instructions on how to join. Thanks.
Mr.Grower
Response: I will not open enrollment till mid February.I will have full details at that time.Im am putting together my own label.Lets call it Bubbas Special Blend for now.There will be several products for growing the giants available by membership only.The 2015 videos more detail then ever.(Bubba pants around his ankles)will be members only videos.You will get access to a private channel on YouTube
I did however open the Bubba Challenge to the first 50 people who join,after that the seeds are gone,there gone.There are 25 spots left at this present time.After that you can join,but will have to obtain seeds from auctions.Only paid members will get to win the Bubba Challenge.They must grow one of the seeds listed 1947.5 Clementz,1450BOXestdmg or the 1460 Gehweiler.Or all 3 if they want.You can use any male pollinator you like.Not putting membership form up as I do not want people to join contests without full details.
However so many 1947.5 requests I opened the Bubba Challenge.Send 35$ to Mark Clementz 103 W.Sherman st Holly Mi.48442 or 36$ thru Paypal mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com and I will hold your spot.
Thankyou very Mulch!!
Gone to Florida Fishing Just a note as I run out the door
Yes,You pretty much have it figured out.If you really want to play it safe on the seed.Proven is best.The 2009 Wallace,1985 Miller,1730 Werner,1317 Clementz.The magic combo that made the 2009 Wallace was the 1409 Miller male.Most of the other 1725s werent nearly as good,not even close.They hit the magic bullet cross with the 1409 Miller.But That might not work for every seed as the father.seeds are just like people.Different mate looks come out,sizes & shapes.The soil is important but Beni has proved the feeding is more important then anything.You should get your soil loose as possible & balanced to the med to high side of suggested.levels,You may not get it perfect.Thats ok.We will test our soils & see whats missing.The when we feed the plant on a daily basis we can add the missing nutrients,minerals to the feed.Thats what Im saying 80% of the growers are chasing seeds & not there soil & feeding program.They will spend 1000 $ on a seed or seeds,but back down when its time to spend a 1000$ on compost.I know I did it for years.I talked to many growers that are doing this very thing.There missing the bus.There great seed could go 2500 but it wont,they didnt get there soil loose & ready for the task.They wont buy the right feeding products & take the time to give them a daily feeding.Thats good that puts me on top.Even tough I share to much,most still wont listen.I will spill my guts in my videos this 2015 season which will only be available to WWGG members.SHHH!! Keep it a secret! but go tell a friend Bubbas going to try & get lucky again in 2015.Some think I just got lucky!Time will tell it always does.Ma Ma always said I was "Sharp as a marble"But Bubba marbles arent sharp.Broken ones are,Were all a little broken,Thats OK! Growem BIG!! Well Im headed to Florida in the morning,Packing the Bubba truck with saws & such will stop & see my mentor Chris Kent and talk for a few hours.Mentors are great
I wouldnt of grew a thing without Chris helping me.Then to Fla for 2-4 weeks to do some remodeling & tan Bubbas Buttocks in the sun.The Blue hairs love BUBBA LOL. So BP will get a break from Bubba for a month.This will make few happy campers.lol Enjoy the the quiet while Im gone.I have my I phone but wont be posting on my diary.I will ck my emails & such.plan to open WWGG membership when I return in February or shortly thereafter. Have a great Winter!Mark I'll Be BACK!!!
I'm BAAACCCKKK!!! Here are just some of the great seeds that will randomly go in membership packs this spring.
Here is the latest update on whats happening.I forgot to mention in video that I will split the most of the contests to a novice and seasoned grower contests.So the new guy has a chance to win at his level.But if you want you can run with the big dogs to.Heres the latest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlLpGhGr34g
Bubbas Secret Garden! Cant wait to throw the kin caves back up.I will take a couple long weekends to do that in April.I hope the weather is good.I received some great seeds while I was gone.I have a good supply of WR seeds to give out to the membership.211 fps from John.8.41s from Dan 350 Kents from Chris.US record Hawkleys MONSTERS!!Many many more great seeds from members and growers alike.So if you are considering a membership this year please let me know which level your considering by e-mail.Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com I closed my comcast account years ago I hope nobody still has it.Also if you would like to donate seeds to WWGG please do.I will see they go out to growers.The hottest ones go out first.So I cant guarentee anything,but I will do my best to get them to dirt.
Just a note! The videos this season will be not be edited,This way I can get the information to you faster for your growing use.I will do at least 12 videos maybe more,every 10 days to 2 weeks.I dont plan to use Bubba in videos quite a few growers have asked for a more serious tutorial.We will have fun with Bubba elsewhere like on my diary and BP.I will give more info then ever Marks secrets revealed.Some are just basic growing ideas I have learned over the years.These videos will be membership exclusive.The password to see videos will be given to all members.Membership opens March 1st. I hope you join us.
Yes for Canadians & Europeans I will have free shipping! Thanks to the powders this is possible.
Free Shipping for all members.
plus the product is free with membership.It will be marked NOT for RESALE. You shouldnt be charged a tariff.It has no value.Its promotional product
Just spent half the day packing these bubbles the white ones are Worldclassgardening.com for the month I was gone.The yellow ones bubbles people have sent.As I have said before the 1947s and 1317s are gone for the season.I did send out a couple but the rest were the 1768 and smaller.If you want to grow the 1947 and need seed there is still some spots left in the Bubba Challenge,you get 1- 1947seed.
Just wanted to post a note to say.The Gold/Silver/bronze membership packages wont just be a good deal, money wise.It will be a great deal!!As a promotional product first year offered to a group,not just close friends.This will be like buying wholesale.I cant wait to show you what you get in 2 weeks!!SHHH! Keep it a secret but go tell a friend.Marks Secret Blend coming soon.
A big Thank you to John Butler,He sent me this great shirt I have one like this. Like a knuckle head I painted in it.So this one will be greatly cared for.Im getting quite collection going to wear in my 2015 How to grow giants videos.He also sent some great seeds to go out to members this spring.Thanks John!!!

Some more great seeds for the Worldwidegiantgrowers.com free seed raffle.Every member gets a least 1 hot seed in there members pack.Membership open March 1st.
Just going threw some pictures.We need to get more kids in the patch. This is a getting lost in our fast pace culture.We will have Youth award plaques again this year.I will give the 2014 ones out in March along with there 25$ check.Thanks Chris Kent for sponsoring this.We will do another auction this spring to support this.
John sent me these great books & some seeds.This will work nicely with our new novice contests.I think between a book like this & the Marks Secret Garden Video series this year.The new grower will have a good chance at a great year.I have 10 of these thanks to John.I will give them to the first 10 new growers who ask.Im sure you can contact John also to get one.I should have WWGG membership open in 1 week
Wow!Who are you? and what have you done with Peter Grower??lol JK .
Thats great! Let me know which one you decide.I will give you 2 so you can start both and get the better plant.Although on the 1317 I started 4 last year they all looked good.The year(2013) I grew the 2009 Wallace that pollinated the 1317 the 2nd plant looked like a turd in a punch bowl.So I think starting multiple plants is important.People think your wasting seeds but it beats the hell out of wasting a season.I hope you grow a world record 1 lb smaller then mine.Thats another secret grow someones great seed & the next season the seed is now yours (not theres) Peter Grower 2456 WR Wow! This can happen!!!!lol
Looking forward to 2015 Mark
Doctors appointment getting my annual physical I had the last one 14 years ago when I turned 40.I met my new doctor last week for the first time.He is a organic gardener & asked me bring back photos & information.Im making him up a welcome wallet.LOL! Bubba Appleseed strikes again!!

Please respond if interested?! Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com
What We haaaVVEE Here is a failure to Communicate!!More bubbles without enough postage.Once again we will try & edumacate the sender!!!lol It takes 2.32 cents to send seeds non machinable Fragile in U.S mail.I really hate to see seeds chipped & broken.I know it doesnt happen everytime,But Heres the BiG BuTTTT Bubba loves so much!!!lol It does happen.So Please put 5 forever stamps on your Bubbles. I have sent out over 3 pages full of bubbles now.If you want seeds please join my membership this March & add a note if you want my seeds.No 1947s or 1317s will be given out as supply is low.all others are available to members of the WWGG.Sorry there is a limit.Have a GREAT SEASON!!!

Heres me in my younger days.This was about 10 days after we lost Elvis in 1977.Im sitting on a World Champion Tennessee Walking horse Ebonys True Grit.My Aunt took us every August to Shelbyville to see the World Championship.I know what you ladies are thinking.Look at the guns on him! A natural blonde to boot!lol Thanks Aunt Carol We had a good time!!!
So cold out the deer are walking on the river.They cant always do that.Extremly cold winter as predicted,but we didnt get the heavy snowfalls like the east coast has.In fact its been so cold this winter that Dave Stelts unibrow is starting to look warm & fuzzy.Rumor has it the OVGPG will be holding the seminar March 14th under his brow.LOL! JK Dave! You will be missed as President.You did a great job!
Bubbas back!! I have been tossing around what to with Bubba.There seems to be mixed bag of feelings here.Some find him repulsive offensive,even been told he is to sexual.Lol it must be the U.S record long gourd??lol But I understand both sides.Kinda like Austin Powers I dont find the humor there myself.They kind of have the same teeth.lol Others love Bubba I told a guy the other day Bubba wont be in the videos this year.He responded Oh No My kids love Bubba It shows them were having fun.So I may just throw Bubba in at the very end of a few of the videos for those who like him.The guys who dont can dump the video at that point & not miss any valuable info.I think this is a happy medium.Its hard to pleas everyone,but I try.
The WWGG membership form is open & prize money is posted on website.Worldwidegiantgrowers.com BUTT!!Downloading video now It will explain the new contest for you.It will be up in 2 hours.Several have joined up today but best to watch video first.3 bronze & 3 gold memberships already signed up.Thank ya Very Mulch!!

Supply is limited.
I also have several 7.10 Foss Mater seeds.Will organize seeds this evening for tomorrows raffle.You will still get seeds after April 1st with membership.But The Hottest ones might be gone.Time for work started another ceramic tile shower & floor job 2 in row both subway tile 3x6s.lol Go figure! If you havent submitted a 2015 membership form but think your enrolled I need the form completed.Looking for Tim Miller,Travis Halverson,Mike Cooper.Please submit 2015 form.You joined the Bubba Challenge early in January.I need everyone to submit the 2015 form each season.Thanks & Good Luck in the raffle.Write your wishes in coment box,It will hold all you can type.No worries
Seed raffle will be pulled from this pile.I will have Jackson Reed pull the seeds out of the bag and hand them to me to place in bubble randomly.I would like the the winners of the the top ten to post what they won on a public forum FB page or BP diary if they would.I will net make a list this year due to time restrictions.lol You still have till Sunday to get the last pull from this pile if you join up.Everyone wins a seed or seeds.1 from each contest you enter.A kin for a kin a melon for a melon & so on.Thank you to all the seed donators.A special Thanks to Pap & Ron.The Oaf collection I won is in here also.I will label & pack over 100 bubbles this weekend.Happy Easter!!Root Keeper will be sent to those who bought a membership 95$ & up.Thank You Very Mulch!!
Vodoo Juice & Companion are both bacillus.I believe Companion is only 1 strain.The Voodoo juice has several strains.My new Root Keeper also contains bacillus.
Saxtin Where are you growing at? Sounds like your soil has not warmed up & how are you watering this young plant?If you make up a full dose of ferts & dump it on a small area it will be way to much for the plant to take.
Example. Bubba mixes up 1 gallon of miracle grow & dumps on a spot 2 feet x 2 feet = 4 sg feet. This 1 gallon mix was intended for 2x5 spot 10 sq feet.So its better to do 1/4 strength doses on small plants.Even later on I Think trickle feed is best!! Giant Pumpkin Growers dont let there friends mix full strength & Grow!!
This is the type of basics growing techniques I will share.Some of the growers who have grown for years make this simple mistakes.There will be loads of great information in Bubbas 2015 Members ONLY videos.Seed starting video 1 will up in 1 week.
The Root Keeper is packaged! Will ship out Monday morning with seed raffle.Root Keeper Memberships,Bronze & Gold will get this mini pack makes 3 gallons. to inoculate seedlings & do your transplanting.A bigger container will ship in early May with other products for the 2015 season.Gold Members will get a double supply.Enough to transplant at least 4 kins This is a Bacillus Trichoderma & Mycorhizae custom mix.
HOT SEED Bubbles ready to load.My new database is not quite ready.My computer Geek is falling a little short of his deadline.BuTT Bubba wont let that stop him.Recruited the Drama Queen to label bubbles.LOL!She does good work.I also just updated the home page to explain How the 2015 program works.Products are not for sale.There free with your How to Grow video 2015 series & Bubbas How to Grow Hot line service
I keep these updates coming as some growers are just getting on board after a long winter.
Friends dont let friends us harsh chemicals & grow!
I'm not perfect.Dont tell Ma Ma Bubba She thinks I am LOL!
I do use a couple harsh things buTT working hard to elimate them from the program.
BuTT! Im trying to elimanate the need for the chemicals.The guy at the Wacky Tabacky store says this will take the place of Eagle 20 (IHHHO).I will use this this season.This is a 10 lb bag.There trying to get 50Lbs.It says like 8 lbs to a 1000 sg feet.
Stop the Press! The Michigan Giant Pumpkin Growers newsletter is out.Great Job Guys.Top quality job.Great cover.Great all around coverage for the whole gang.
The last of the 1947.5s there were 580 viable seeds.The bag on the right contains the final 200.There are 19 packs on the table.So after shipping the Bubba Challenge seeds out 50 packs.Leaves about 170 after another 10 packs to by loyal friends in Canada & elsewhere.(160)Over 400 seeds passed out 1st year.This doesnt leave a lot for year 2.If you havent got one by now.There really tight now.You better have your pretty wife to ask for one.Cause I aint given 1 to know ugly guy.lol I really beleive this seed has a 2500 lber in it.Orange or creme or white is the mystery??Has anyone heard from Paul from Australia?? He was growing in last December?Dont you grow no ugly Pumpkin!They will ship Monday morning to awl growers worldwide.In fact I will do the overseas & Canada first.
OK! The Bubba challenge ready to go in bubbles.Heres a little secret.Most dont know or are in denial about.The seed is only half the equation.Without the other half of the equation,Well your in the middle of the pack.Thats number 800 out of 1600.So I Sink it more important to chase a good feeding regiment then to spend most of your effort getting seeds.If your soil is not the best.You can still feed it right & supplement with Bubbas 2015 video series.If you havent seen my video on Worldwidegiantgrowers.com Take 16 minutes out of your day.It will be well worth it come weigh off time.Thank ya Very Mulch!! http://worldwidegiantgrowers.com/Membership.html
People keep asking me where I bought my grow bags from last year to start plants in.These guys ship.They also sell the AN products if you want to get them.I no longer carry any AN stuff I will grow exclusively with Marks Mixes this year.Tell them Bubba from WWGG sent ya!
Check out the WWGG Facebook page.If you haven't rejoined for 2015 I need your information.Like my FB page & be entered to win a sample pack of Root Keeper.I will spend more time posting this spring on my FB page & WWGG website.Seems some folks are not real fond of Bubba.I dont want to bother anyone so Please join me at these other locations.Have a Great season see ya at the Scales!!
I will draw a winner May 1st for the Root Keeper!

Today is a special day.Mama Bubba & I got hitched 25 years ago.I will take her out for nice sit down dinner with all the fixins.She told me she wanted to get plowed tonight.I hope she will settle for getting tilled.I will surpriseher when we get home from dinner.Green is her favorite color.I picked this up for 150$. Like new,My customer wanted it out of his garage.What a deal & what timing 25th Anniversary! Woot Woot!

Just got these 2 shirts in the mail from George Llyod.Note said He heard I was looking for some shirts.I love this Hobby/Sport.I met George & Deanna 19 years ago great people.Some really nice people in the world.
I have to practice what I preach I will start 3 of these seeds on the 20th of April.If all 3 germ I will pick the best 2 for the patch.I only have 2 on hand,but a great new friend of mine just offered me a 3rd seed.The seasons are a long time in between.So I will say yes to his kind offer.
When you know your Hot seed is coming,you hurry to the mailbox to check for seeds your Russian! When you plant your seedling & work the patch in the hot sun & drink liquids you will be Euro pee in and eventually Hungary.lol!Then at seasons end your at the scales your Finnish.This truly will be WORLDWIDEGIANTGROWERS! lol!
If you won a hot seed please post it on General discussion board Where Nana Rea won the 2323 Meier seed.This way we dont crowd the boards.
I mailed out over 100 bubbles this week(120 members now)grouted a shower Ceramic tiled a bathroom floor.Installed a 55 inch flat screen(with electric & cable relocation)Gave a presentation today in Anderson Indiana(4 hr drive each way) with some great folks.Thanks Indiana For letting me speak today.It was fun to meet you all.
Im still going!!!!LOL
I sent out over 40 of these seedling starter packs to get everyone started out.You will get a bigger supply in early May.I just wanted to make sore everyone had the instructions on there pack.If not here it is.These come with the Basic 2 & higher memberships.
There is still plenty of time to panic!!lol
I see a lot of folks starting early,My first knee jerk reaction is to jump in that line.Problem is the weather?It looks great this week.BuTT Heres the Big BUTT!!What will it be doing the first week of May? Here is the 1947.5(Tiny) last May 12th.http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=216730
I will start kins next Sunday the 19th.If the ground isnt warmed up a little hut & cables dont do much anyway.I will take a soil sample today & send to Western labs.I will call and order 50 yards of compost this week.The smaller plants maters fps LGs.way to early.you will hit the blossom time way to early.This is my Honest not so humble opinion.I will relax & fix some cupboard doors & a toilet Mama Bubbas been telling me needs fixin.Have a great Sunday!!If Mama Bubba aint happy aint nobody HAPPY!!lol
Ok Heres Bubbas getting a soil sample testing equipment Kit.You can purchase this from me for 7 grand.lol Or borrow the stuff from your neighbor or local hardware.
I had a e-mail asking about not using metal tools to take sample.They misunderstood what I said in seed starting video.Well here it is How to pull sample the Bubba way.Not saying its tghe best way.Just the Bubba way.
Im taking my sample today,Will have results in 1 week.Just in time to plan my amendments.
pound PVC pipe 8 to 9 inches deep.Use a 20lb sledge when you cant find your 5 lb sledge.lol
(No metal pipes can be used)
Dump soil in box (not a metal bucket)or a plastic pail free from any possible soap residues or other possible residues that could change your soil readings.
Dump soil in box (not a metal bucket)or a plastic pail free from any possible soap residues or other possible residues that could change your soil readings.
Zig zag across garden like every 20 feet pounding another core in several spots.I take about 8 core samples.Then mix in box.To get dirt out of core hit the pipe with the hammer tap it gently.Dirt should fall out into box.Shake dirt or stir with wood stake to mix all cores together.
Dump dirt out to let dry.They need it dry,plus you will save on postage.Although it should fit in a If it fits it ships for like 5$ to ship.So then weight wouldnt matter.If its dry you will most likely get your results back faster.This way there not weighting on it to dry.
If a bird flys over and poops on your sample.Return to patch & start over over.lol JK Have a great day Sunny & 65 here.Woot Woot!! Going to be 60s all week.
SSSHH Keep it a secret,But go tell a friend!
Theres a a few guys not using my products,that did last year.Im kinda glad ,This leaves the door wide open for me to smack the grand slam out of the park! Marks Mixes are latest greatest In my humble opinion.

Bubbas Black Gold!!Organic matter only 3.2% Whoda thunk!!
My goal is to get her loose.I added 5 yd loads of sand to each Kin Cave the past 2 years.I was told by a few folks."You will make concrete with the sand"Keep it a secret,I forgot to add the Portland cement to the sand.So here you go loose as a goose combined with 50 yds of composted grass/leaves/manure,over 9,000 sgfeet
Headed out today to put screenhouse back up.Have a nice weekend!
If you look close you can see the sand.The sand is the largest particle in the soil(excluding rocks.It will prevent the clay from binding back together.SHH! Keep it A secret! Sand is the cheapest way to loosen your clay based ground.Put it on about 2 inches thick & till it in several times.
I use the same sand I put under the kins 5 yds about 125$ delivered.You pick it up like 25$ at a gravelpit supply.
Wow!What a gorgeous day out.It was nice all week.Started on the Kin cave I.This was about 4 hrs to set the 2-60 foot long walls and stake them down.plus I added a 2x6 to the south end to stop dirt from washing out of houseto the wetlands.It appears my giant raised bed here is getting deeper.I might start my kins tomorrow 8 plants & 1 Squash The 1362 Pugh!I will check the 10 day forecast first.
Onward & upward gathering seeds Thanks Pete Beni Gary Patrick.I will start 3 & 4 plants of each and do the culling method recommended by many great growers.I will start 8 1947s and grow 2 plants from the best.I hope to put the 1317 over 2000 lbs this year and will start 4 plants to get 1 plant to the finish line. I will starting soaking at noon & place in pots this evening.Soaking them in distilled water with 3% hydrogen peroxide.Nothing else that could be contaminated with bad bacteria.
Ok Kin Cave 1 is framing is done,Thats it, the rest is hoops.I see so many greenhouses overbuilt to the max.This is all you need.Next we intall 34 foot hoop every 2 feet.There only 10$ a pc. 30 or so needed.Then the screen & door do on.About 2 days to assemble once the kit is made up.Very portable if you ask me.It dances in wind like a shock absorber.It has danced to 70 MPH winds with 0 damage to anything.I did however crap my pants while watching from the window.lol Well Time to go start seeds.
Ok I pulled the saran rap off the flats after 48 hrs I sprayed the tops with water & check the temp 79 degrees in the one & 84 in the other.I dont think 5 degrees means much.We will see which ones pop first? Will check every 12 hrs from here on out.Weather outside has turned cold and crappy high 50 And raining off & on.
No! Thats not a soil amendment.Thats snow.Winters back.This is why I dont start my plants real early.This might last a week or 3 weeks its anybody's guess.People think,but your in a greenhouse Bubba?? Greenhouses dont work without the sun.Son. lol We can have an entire month of clouds.So I lay low & wathch the 10 day forecast.Will they go in the ground May 1st ? the 6th? the 10th? You can spin your wheels in the cold mud to gain 2 days growth at best.Patience Grasshopper Patience
Calling Dr Bubba do the surgical room.I like to remove the shells if I feel they have been on to long.If not you will rot the cots.Do not try this at home I am a professional.These had been on quite a while as they popped a root in the cool 65 degree basement,unattended.
No seedlings were harmed in the removal.I have never lost one doing this procedure.There now under the lites.These are a little ahead of the others I will make a early video in 1 week transplanting to the patch.
9 out of 30 are popped up enough to remove from heat.Bottom heat is not good once there up.I will pull another dozen in the morning as the soil was cracking.I heard some say they were told to never do this.Poppycock.The shells will only hinder them.The 1947s 2036s 1362 Sqush & all the 1985 Millers are up.The 2323s were cracking the soil but not up yet.
Shells off 3 I will let the others pop up and do tomorrow.gently squeeze pliers,never pullup on tool.lol You may have to squeeze and release several times to break shell.Then it will fall off.Now they go 2 inches under the florescent lites upstairs where its warmer.like 70 instead of 65
Good morning little fellers!!I suppose you seedlings are wondering why I ask you here today? You are the few the proud the GIANTS!!lol Your mission is to catch Beni.You can do it!! I know you can!!We will start by removing your shells.Dont be shy you wont feel a thing.lol
14 more are up thats 23 total up ,out of 30 in 3 & 1/2 days.Looks like the 1947s 6 out of 8 & 1 1985 Miller left to go.They are slow like there father & grandfather I may mark these ones & give them special notice(if they plants all look the same in 2 weeks I will plant the slow ones from the start up line.
Keeping them close to the lights(florescent).There are types can get to hot for this.I will have a fan just circulating the air in room to help keep them strong stems.Not a high setting just a mild flow.FLO! lol
The final 3. 1 stubborn 1985 Miller & 2 stubborn TinySwazrtzZZaneggers(1947s).Temp 82 degrees.27 out of 30 are up in 4 & 1/2 days.Thats 90% germed in just distilled water.I will put them all in 2 gallon bags this Sunday & inoculate them in Root Keeper.I didnt want the Root Explosion happening in these tiny pots.The Root Keeper comes in a 2 lb powder.2 tsp per gallon for first 2 waterings.Then I will switch to 1 tsp per gallon for soil drenchs when plant is big to help maintain root health & vigor.Root Keeper was made in March.Very fresh product.Dont keep watering it in.Just once when you transplant is good.
Ok 2 more popped a root.Thats 29 out of 30.Only the 1985 Miller is left & the soil is cracked.So I maybe counting my chickens before they hatch.But hey Bubba likes the old foot in the mouth once in a while.lol I have marked these slow 1947s I will watch them closely to decide which 2 to plant.I think a few people will be amazed at what these produce in my patch this year.The 1317 & 1947 will rock the world in 2015 !!!!!!Call me crazy! most folks do.
1985 Miller the last one up.I wasnt taking any chances been 5 1/2 days under soil.So I pulled the hard coat off.30 out of 30 germed.Conclusion=4-5 hour soak(distilled water) is best(light filing)I cant ever remember going 30 for 30.I think this is a good sign of things to come for 2015.I have 3-2323s Meier
4-2036s Glasier
3-1985 Millers
8-1947s ClementzZ
4-1768s ClementZZ
4 -1317s ClementZZ &
4 1362 Pugh Squash
Thats 30 plants for 8 spots the 1947 gets 2 grown.Notice to locals I may have some backups to giveaway in 3-4 weeks.
32 plants The 30 I started plus the 2 that germed laying in seed starter in the cold basement with no heat.lol
I will bag them up in 2 gallon bags tomorrow I have a old high school friend coming over to help.She said she needed something to do.Going through some hard times.I said come on over Bubba needs all the help he can get.I will be getting my compost this week(40 yds).Setting up You Tube account for members only videos.No worries if your a 2015 member I have your email address & name. You will get accsess to videos (no password needed)I have screen being shipped in from Fruitshield.com Busy Busy Busy!!!
Change of plans,got out of work early today home at 3 pm.Sun is out in the low 50s.I will let them acclimate to outside conditions while I start filling the 2 gallon grow bags.Its always good to give thm 2-3 hrs of sun here and there.rather then all day long in the beginning.
Thought for the day.Let the good times roll.Waste as little time as possible with those who dont like you.Life is too short to to worry about Dang Dittally Dang Dittally Ding Dang Dong.If you want to watch a good movie watch The War with Kevin Costner from 1994.It was up against Forest Gump that year so it didnt get much attention.Great movie great message on how we treat the world & each other.Funny too
High today 55 mostly cloudy we did get a couple hours of sun.It was just barely warm enough to set plants out.I did manage to get some milk crates & pop carriers to carry the bags in.My friend owns a gas station he gave them to me.Less trips every day in & out of walk out basement I started on the kin cave II.Put up 1- 60 foot wall and and staked it down.
Giving the seedlings there first foliage feed.Just plain water.You wouldn't give a porterhouse steak to a baby would you?They wont get ferts till there in the ground 1 week.
Ok watered the plants today.Were in a holding pattern soil is 48 degrees in patch.no cables installed.I think mother nature will do the job this season.I may not use soil cables this year.I could change my mind in 1 week if the weather turns cold.
I used 5 gallons of water this am.Thats 21 oz per plant.These pro mix peat based mixes hold a lot of water/Must be carefull not to get them soaked.I watered the outside of bag,this allows the water to soak towards the center.This will be better to draw the roots out to the water.I dont water the center at the seedling.This will shut them down for a period of time.I did pre moisten the soil prior to filing the bags.So there is mositure down low in bag(lightly).You wouldnt want to dump a 1/2 gallon of water in these bags as it would be to wet.If plants wrinkle up & turn yellow there to wet.If so get a fan running in room on high about 10 to 15 feet from plants to dry them out.Fans are good!This is the kind of detail I will put in this seasons 2015 Member only videos.SHHH!Keep it a secret but go tell a friend There is still time to join.
I love a Dark Rich Deep Voluptuous Patch!!!.
This will be the 6th year in a row on this garden without interruption.All vegetation removed in the fall,plowed,tilled added 40 yds of compost.This soil is no longer the same soil it was last fall.SHHH! Keep it a secret the soil/plants will never know its been 6 years.

Now its 55 degrees up higher at 6 inches its 57 to 59.So a couple more days we should be good to go.I hope to get plants in by Mothers day at the very latest.

Keep it a Secret,But go tell a friend!
Planted 3-2323 Meier & 3- 1985 Miller in Kin cave II will cull 2 of each at a later date.Will plant the 1317 Clementz & 1947 in kin cave I in the morning.3 of each 2 side by side 4 feet apart & one at the other end (25 feet away).I figure to beat Beni I need to do 1 better.lol 80 degrees & sunny 62 tonight.Going to get a early warm start .no cables needed this year I just hope it aint going to be a Barn burner summer.
Long day!But this old man can still put 10 hrs in the hot sun.I took the day off to get plants in.Was out in patch till Dark thirty.Im redder then a lobster.But that never has bothered me.Im a real red neck I guess.
This seed will grow a 2000 lber this year hopefully in my patch.The 1947 is planted right beside it and I will grow it outside also.I predict the 1947 Clementz will be in the top 3 seeds for 2015.They are all healthy plants,just like mom was."Dont you grow no ugly Pumpkin" lol
ROOTS!!!!! it was 87 here yesterday,ground is warm 12 plants in the ground now.2323 1985 1317 1947 will cull to 4 plants before its over.Then there will be 2, till maybe early June.Then down to one.If you live local you can come dig one up in 10 days or so.The rest will go in this weekend if not to wet.storms & heavy rains last night with record high temps.This early start has me extremely hopeful.I hope to be going to visit Stu & Ian in 2016!!!
One of my favorite shirts.When MaMa Bubba makes suggestions I break out this shirt! As far as my growing goes .The mind is always open & thinking of new ways to skin a kin!lol
Omg! Its raining greenhouse's Bubbas soil is so fertile Screenhouse's are popping up .This is the 1947 outside plant.2 planted side by 4-5 feet apart will cull when 3 feet long.When out this am to plant the 1768s 2036 & 1362 SQ.But God has a different plan for me today.It started to rain.Happy Mothers day to all you Mothers.

Had to bring the backups & the Glasiers & Pughs & 1768s back in the house.To wet to plant called for Tornadoes today.Jackson is a hands on kid.He will be 3 this weekend.
Brooklyn will be 5 in June.She brought Gramps this mater plant she was given at school and ask me to put in in the garden.If you remember she was my pumpkin model in 2012 with my 1478 Jackson Reed Pumpkin.That was my first 1000 lber.Shes shy & its 8 am so no smiles this morning.Brookler The lookler! On a separate note:Cold front came through temmps dropped 25 degrees high 60 today lows 40.I will try & plant the rest of my kins today or tomorrow,They are getting huge roots coming out of bags.
My grandson Blake with the 2036Glasier it had a big root when it went in the bag 2 weeks ago.I will get these in the ground tonight or tomorrow.Been raining to much to plant them. Plus the 1362pugh/sq & 1768clem.all others are in the ground at this time.
I have a million dollar Idea! I need an investor.We can use this melon as a mold to make a fake strap on Bubble Butts.We will call them Bubba Butts. The ladies will buy them up like padded bra.I will call Shark tank today.lol
2036 Glasier this is the plant that I had marked big root when it was in the small pot.Funny when Mama Bubbas roots start looking like this we run to the hair salon.Today we ran to the garden instead.lol
Borrowed Jacksons little red wagon.The Cali boys planted side by side 2036 & 1362 Pugh squash.The squash will grow to the north.Which will get a little more shade.The 2036 due south into the long gourd trellis.Should get a little more sun.I will put backups in this Saturday.Busy Busy Busy!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6AlSd4C_CA To all the growers who dont love or like me.
I have one thing to say. I have a 8th grade education & a Christian raising.There aint no reason for you awl to be treating me this way.Im on a fast Giant Pumpkin train.lol
Heres the cool part,already vining out so I just layed the plant down & staked the vine down.No worries.There were 4 plants 2 were growing straight up to the sky.I planted the 2 that were laying down.My 1768 on Day one in the ground.Looks just like Cecils plant thats been in for a few weeks.Interesting??Lets see which grows best.Time will tell it always does.
This is the 2036 Glasier back up plant at opposite end of grow area.This plant is so aggressive,I felt it best to cage it.I will till a spot for my back up 1362 Pugh Then only Long gourds to start & maters in a few days.I start those seeds late to many pans in the fire,not good.
The last plant in the ground as far as kins & squash go.1362 Pugh back up plant.Put the door on the kin cave II.Should have the screen houses completed tomorrow,doors & gable ends fasten down>If any locals would like a plant I have a few to give out 2036 1362sq 1947 1768 Better hurry they will be root bound in 1 more week.
Great weekend! warmer then average temps,Put doors on screenhouses.Plants are about 6-7 days ahead of last years.Not using grow lites or soil cables as I dont see the need with temps in the high 70s & 80s most days.We get a 2 day cold snap then right back to southern temps.I think this season will be better then last year.I gave away back ups to my Uncle Bob,my dads younger brother who is a serious gardener & sells pumpkins at a road side stand each year.Gave one to a local guy from the Moose who wanted to grow one for years now.Paul & Eri picked up the rest.I have 2 plants left if anyone is needy??Have a Great week!!
Looks like I better just pull the plants up & go fishing.1947 Clementz outside plant.Moving a little slow.60 last night temps.Will be 32 at night
in 2 days.
Benis 2323.Soon to be Bubbas 2424.lol I sink I will watch soil temps & how fast they climb, last night high 30s with no cables or lights being used.I sink with right feeding & can override need for cables & still hit my mark.Today Sunny 60s Will be 70s to 80 in here.Sun heats soil quickly.With river current under garden soil will warm & rise will quickly.
I Sink many have missed the bus on this seed the 1317 is my Bestus plant again this year.I sink Ron & Daves genectics have been overlooked here by many.I sink this maybe be my biggest producer again and the 1947 maybe be 2nd.I know this seed
can grow 2300 plus. I sink it might this year!!I only grew 1 last year=1947 I cant wait to see # 2 will be?Counting my chickens as usual>>lol
soil temp tonight 64 to 66 degrees.up 10 degrees from this am.I think its time to start the long gourd seeds I will be growing the 136.75 Kline & the 137.5 Ansems.I have also considered growing the 211 Mackinnon.I think I will & the 4.57 McCoy & 8.41 a grow this year maybe 2 of each.Thats it for maters I figure I can grow a 1200 lb squash or bigger,Call me crazy most people do.lol So why not grow 5 veggies & give Mr & Mrs Cheese Head a run for there money.No watermelons year.I will grow the 211 like a AG trained Pruned & buried.I have never done that on a FP before.Put the cows in the barn & the cheese in the fridge.Im coming for Glen!!LOL
About 1/3 of this will be shipped out today Saturday & Tuesday.The other 2/3s is still looking for a home.Memberships cost will be going up June 1st.So if your standing on the fence.Nows the time to jump on.The Bronze membership,will go from 300$ to 400$ on June 1st.Thank you very Mulch!!!
Marks Special Tea makes 768 gallons of foliar feed with amino acids.The Root Keeper makes aprox 200 gallons.The Grow(2 lb concentrate) will make 100s of gallons of trickle feed,or it will make almost 400 gallons full strength.(1200 to 1400 ppms).There are 2 more pallets coming Tuesday with the Bloom,Cal Mag.& Pumpkin power my 6th product.(Bubbas Big Secret)However I will ship what I have now for those who have been waiting.Thankyou for your patience.
I was given these last week by my uncle Bob Clementz.My dads younger brother.My father left most of his stuff to him.I will pass them down to Jackson Reed.He didnt die literally in Vietnam,but somehow I feel he did.He was never the same again.In honor on Memorial Day.John Michael Clementz served his country.
Bubbas Secret idea # 63 place nail plate foam.5$ a roll under vine to prevent vine from snapping on its journey to the ground.If your outside pin it down to prevent the wind from taking it away with your vine pinning sticks.Keep the top of sticks low as to not tare leafs.This is my 1947.5 today
Join now for daily tips on my hidden page.My posts on BP this year will be greatly reduced due to the time factor.There is only 24 hrs in a day.I talked to a clock manufacturer.They refused to make me a 25 hr clock.Dang Burn it!!
The 1947.5 Marks Special Tea really greens them up.I was pondering about Bubbas younger days back in the 70s.Seems everyone was running around back then trying to get in each others pants.I like it better now.A nice change ,instead we are all trying to get into each others plants.Have a great Summer! Grow em BIG!!
Ok Ian & Dan. Please proof read these for me.If these are correct I will ship soon.These are redos from last season.
Also only % days left to join WWGG for prize money eligibility.After June 1st You can still join,BuTT no prize money for you mister>>Just videos & ferts!! lol
People keep asking me? Bubba are you adding boron to your program? This is My Cal Mag "Bubbas Monster Maker". Boron is listed.Plus theres boron in the Grow & the Bloom.No additions are needed.I dont want to get toxic.Dont be a moron & add to much boron.Get your soil tested or your swinging that bat blind folded in the wind.
SHHHH!!! I decided to keep the Bronze memberships at 300$ for the season.With the late start & awl I want as many people on board as possible.So The cost for a Bronze will remain 300$ with free shipping.The "Pumpkin Power" Bloom Booster will be out next week.Thats 6 products making over 1000 gallons of ferts & beneficials. Plus I have a program in motion,Working out the details for a loyalty members prize payout.There will be bonus money for members who are renewing each year."Bubbas loyalty prize Boost"! Starting in 2016.So join now to be eligible for 2016 prize boost.
Not a great weekend It rained most of today.I did manage to get out a 7 pm & start my drip tape.I will run it totally different then before.Each plant will be on its own zone,instead of 2 on a zone.This will allow me to dial the water in better.I also will space them at 18 inches instead of 24 inches.I think this will make them go heavier.I dont think going heavy is all genetics.In fact I think its all about water & calcium.Time will tell.It always does.
Bubba wont get fooled again.There calling for 41 tonight,I live in the lowest spot in town.So 36 to 37 is possible.To close for comfort.There all covered some with heaters.
1947 outside plant,removing the house today.The first secondary's are touching the sidewalls.I didnt realize some folks fasten there plastic to the wooden frame.I like to have the option to remove plastic on clear days.plus & can put screen over when hail is forecasted.The screen is better in a storms then plastic.Plastic stands like a brick wall with chance of blowing away in the wind or being torn to pieces by the wind.The screen diffuses the wind and flexs in wind.I call the Kin caves Dances in wind when the 60 mph come.Plants totally unscathed at 70 mph so far.
Run Forest Run!! Well this plant has nice secondarys out of the hole.Thats what you want.It will be a full plant at time of pollination.I remember Pap Wallace saying dont be concerned with other peoples plants.Just focus on yours.Last year I bit my fingernails watching the huge plants folks had that were 2 weeks ahead of me.Then at the scales most of them were behind me.So I guess were not growing plants.Were growing Giant Pumpkins.Thanks Pap!!
Warning! Future World Champion Giant Veggie grower in training.Jackson insisted on starting the field pumpkin seeds.He likes to lead not follow.lol The nut dont fall far from the tree. Will start the 211 today.Prepping & tilling final amendents this week.My work is slow this week.so I will get all my driptape and final amendments done.
Shipping out the Cal Mag & Bloom today.Still time to get a Bronze membership and get all 6 products.The "Pumpkin Power"Bloom Booster will ship by the end of June,just in time for kins packing on the big pounds in July.Please Join us on our Hidden Facebook page.Eclusive to members only.

Shhh!! Started the Long gourds today.I will grow 2 -137.5 Ansems.I couldnt find my 136.75 Klines.Sorry Todd.I will self it.lol This is 10 days earlier then last years planting.
1317 still my best plant.Right on schedule 7 feet long with 3 foot secondary's.Drip tape laid time to.In 10 days we should be flirting with pumpkin pollination.Hopefully by the 20th we will be setting fruit.Lots of time to hit 2000lbs plus.Will make video today on Bubbas secret feed.SSHH! Keep it a secret,but go tell a friend.
My little turd in a punch bowl.1768 Clementz. Planted real late lost the first ones to frost.Do I hear a big EEEWWWWW!Dont be suprised and how fast this can turn around.
Attention Matt Debbaco Chris Kent Marvin Mitchell.I think this is a virus?? Im thinking about pulling the plant.Please shoot me a note with your thoughts. Any experinced growers.I know some viruses carry over in the seeds.Or a gub might have infected this early on?
Plant yanked!! If you have a plant that looks like this with new growth developing deformed it is mosaic virus.Pull the plant & get it off your property ASAP
Will plant today where I just took out the plant.Will grow 2 & give them 400 feet each. When I post these Nice ROOTs.I can hear the trembling voices from across Lk.Michigan.Bubbas coming to get our title.We better get to work!!lol
Sara is back to stay for good I will keep her long term as her breeding days are over.No worries this year on wood chucks deer or red neck intruders.Sara will eat them awl.lol
Weather has been cool & cloudy a few days over 80 one even 88,but it didnt seem 88.Real cloudy,I still think the cloudy summers are from the ice caps melting.They say we are loosing 1200 feet a year of ice on the north pole.If we progress like it has been we could have another great year weather wise.Dont need it over 85.Plants could be a pinch bigger,but not concerned yet.
Storms & rain today possible hail coming.Its been a cloudy spring with not a lot of rain.I have only ran drip tape twice in the past week though.Not getting hot enough to dry the soil out good.Slow growth.The next 10 days is calling for clouds.Looks like a repeat of 2013.3-5 day stretch's of mostly clouds all summer long.Hopefully this turns around soon.Cloud Cloud go away go hang out in Switzerland!!lolol
Jackson never stops amazing me.I picked a little kin off a plant & showed him the little fruit.He asked why I picked it?I told him we only let 1 grow per plant.So we pick the rest of.So on the next plant he stops grabs a secondary and carefully pinched off a male bud & showed it to me.Amazing!!
He ask me if I would take him fishing.So tomorrow will be our first bass fishing trip.I cant wait.
My latest invention,drove out to Uncle Bobs & made a new filter for the river water reservoir.I will wrap this in a 5 gallon paint strainer.Nice getting to know my Dads younger brother.The stories are endless.
Ok Here is something you can sink your teeth into.Or tooth if that be the case.

Still time to get on board.Bronze members & higher get all 6 products.You can deduct your 35$ or 95$ already paid membership & advance to a Bronze/Silver/Gold if you like.
Planted my 4.57 MacCoys today there were starting to grow out of there peat pots.This is a virgin spot,was a lawn for 50 years.This should help with disease issues.Growing next to the 1947.5 also on virgin soil.Must catch Glen & Margaret.Must stop the 3 peat!!lol Glen was waving that orange plaque in my face at Wilkes Barre. Must win plaque.Keep your eye on the prize!!!!lol Must go time to meditate & become one with Pumpkin patch!!!
Great year so far.I could complain.BuTT I wont I only had 1 1/2 inches of rain.Its been terrible cloudy like 2013 was.BuTT awl & awl its been decent plants are 8 to 12 feet long.I see June 20th To 25th pollinations just like last season.No extreme heat in sight.So AWL & AWL its good here in MUddy Waters.If you have time to be the English Police & spell check my errors.You might be better oFFF puTTTTing that energy in to GROWEING!!!lol
Danger Will Robinson Danger!On your daily walk through patch .You need to stop and look inside the new growth for cucumber beetles.I found a 1/2 dozen having sex on my 1363 Pugh squash plant.I immediatly stopped and read them the riot act.We will have ORDER!!No sex on my Squash!!lol You will find them inside the new growth,they love the tender new growth.The plant is treated with merit.I did find one dead.I went & got my bug killer and mixed 1/2 tsp to a qt of water.I keep this in the 8 track shack in the shade,for quick use.I smashed several by hand.I then sprayed the entire plant .letting the spray roll through the leafs.Marshal law is in effect .No cucumber
beetle sex in Bubbas Patch!!
This is the kind of info we share on the Secret FaceBook page.SHH! Keep it a secret,but go tell a friend

This is why I grow outside plants.It appears with the last 2 weeks being 80% clouds this 1947.5 is the biggest plant leaf for leaf.The screen tkes 20% of the sun away.On real cloudy days OUCH!!Should pollinate on the 25th also.TINYSWARTZANEGGER the 2nd BUBBAS REVENGE!!!!!!!LOL
Another Cloudy Day.2 hours of sun and here comes the clouds.Well time to go to lunch with my good friend Al Gore.We need to discuss the ice caps melting,1200 feet per year right now.Wow! I wonder if this could be causing the clouds??DuHHH??I think I will just pull the plants & take Jackson fishing.Tell them Ohio Valley Boys they can stop biting there nails.Bubba is calling it a season.LOL Yeah right! Buckeyes love BUBBA!!!
Thanks to Russ Pugh, Pete Glasier ,Rob Globus I was able to figure out the best way to install misters in the Kin Caves.Im using the river water as that pump puts out 8 gallons a minute.The hose water with chlorine doesnt have as much pressure or volume.This shouldnt be a problem as I have 2 filters in place.I wont be running them as often as the Western Guys due to the high humidity in Michigan.but it will help cool things down a bit.This is the 1985 Miller on the left & Beni 2323 on the right.SVBs are everywhere outside.So Treated all plants(inside& out) 20 gallons of water with Merit 2tsp.of 75%.I will do this every 10 days as last year they got my 1768 1641 & 1609 plants.
Thats pic is TinySwartzanegger the 1947 last year.
Last night storms came through twisters & Detroit got 3-5 inches of rain.Here in my patch 1 1/4 rain total for 2 storms.Missed another bullet.I have missed all the bad storms& heavy rains for the past 2 years.Now just need to get rid of the clouds.They seem to be gone for now.Pumpkins are developing this week.This should help.rain& sun.
1362 PUGHHHHH!! Squash selfed at 7:45 am Cool day will hit 80 today at best low 53 Fruit set on MV at aprox 12 feet out it was the 2nd fruit I snipped one at 8 feet.Plant size 16 feet wide at stump with side runners & about 14-15 feet long,perfect Christmas tree.
The 1317 Clementz 1 day ahead of last years pollination.Time to think of the perfect name for this one.The rest of the plants will pollinate looks like 2323 on the 25th.The Miller 26th or 27th? The 1947 inside like the 30th.The 1947 outside maybe the 26th&27th.This will give a variety of big plants at conception & small plants.This will be a nice test to see if plant size really matters.
Pollinated the 1947 with the 1317 Clementz outside plant.I will self the inside 1947 in about 4-5 days.Plant is smaller due to all the clouds.Low to mid 60s this am.Looks lie the next week will be cool.It will however be farther out on a bigger plant.This will be a great year to see which grows bigger?? Big plant farther out? smaller plant earlier pollination? The 1317 was first on the 20th.Time will tell it always does.
The 2323 is very sensitive to scorching.It is doing this with temps outside 80 inside Kin cave 88.Looks like we may get another cool summer similar to last year.The heavy rains & storms keep missing me.Hopefully my Luck continues in this area.A cool sunny summer would be perfect.It wont be long Marks Mixes will be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.I have no doubts myself as this isnt my first rodeo with these GREAT ingredients.SHH! Keep it a secret!!WE are getting great results all over North America!!
Pollinated the 2nd kin on the 1317 today about 3 feet farther then the first out about 15 feet.My backup for a few days.Looks like the first one took its almost a softball size now 5 days after pollination.
Napa Gary!! NapaGAR!!Will be the name of this monster!!My 2nd best plant.Will put the 1317 Clementz in the gene pool to orange her up.This should be the cross of the 2015 season.Just my not so humble honest opinion.
Day 6 1317 Clementz Call me crazy most people do,BUTT I think I can push this up to 2100 lbs this year.Marks Mixes should put me over the top,now that there fine tuned.
Just pollinated the 1947.5 Clementz with a male flower from my 2323 BIG BENI Meier.(pictured here) I will name this Pumpkin here BIG BENI!!!Just posted a video on Facebook public page of Jackson Reed pollinating this great cross for me.Sunny today which is nice The weatherman forecasted clouds all weekend.Why do I watch the weather??
Dap 10 of my 1317 Clementz this is a sister to the 1947.5 Clementz.I have never done a 10 day measurement,Pete Glasier asked me if I did this,So I thought What the hell cant hurt.20 inch circum, cool cloudy year seems to be slowing us down.Butt this one is on pace so far with last years I beleive.Sun Please give us some Sun.
There are only 75 seeds left to this great cross so I selfed it.Trying to come up with a good name for this one.I will have a name guessing contest here on BP general discussion.If I pick your name you will win a Pumpkin Power shipped free to your house.Im thinking like TinyRockaNegger!!ButTT Im sure we can do better then that.
Cloudmaggeddon Consumed most of June Im guessing we had 10-12 days of sun.The rest were mostly cloudy days.Like 10 days complete clouds.Im sticking with my theory.The ICE Caps are melting the cool air is pushing the jet stream south and producing the clouds.Laugh if you like.They laughed at Noah.I love the cool summers.But if this continues I will have to pull te covers off the Screen house to give the plants the 20% of the sun it takes away.Looks like starting tomorrow we have 3-4 days of full sun.Im on schedule with last years fruits.So bring on the sun or im breaking out the cordless drill.
The pumpkin here is yet to be named But Im liking TinyGotBackanegger so far.I think a Hulk name would be good or I may use it on another kin & award a 2nd prize to that co-winner.If you have a good name I will consider it there is 6 days left to guess.Dap 11 grew 3.5 inches in 24 hrs.Not bad for 2 hours of sun.The smaller kins seem like there standing still.I hope they took??
Here is my outside 1947 leaf burying.They root in no matter what.The bottom root that is.the top root needs a little soil to help it out.A lot of you are shooting for 1000lbs.Your plant will be much healthier like this in a wet season.Just trying to help the newbie.I lost 0 kins last year 6 for 6.But hey what the hell do I know.They say "If your not blowingem your not growing them".Poppycock!!If your not blowing them your soil & feeding is dead on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrAwb9ptu9U Here Carl to put things in perspective.If your not careful you will put your eye out when that pumpkin blows up!! LOL
We are getting some sun now,I see the lack of sun is hurting others to.When you get a week of clouds it will hurt your growth rate inside or out.Now if those clouds would just settle to northeast a few hundred miles.There is a big hot dog over that way that needs some shade for a week.lol
1317 Clementz TinyGotBackanegger!Moving nicely.Weather so unpredictable who knows how they will finish out.If cloudmaggeddon continues throughout the summer.Its anybodys guess who or what region will be on top.To start claiming victory on July 4th requires a Medical Marijuana card in Michigan.Not sure if you need one in Canada.BUTT BURN ANOTHER FATTY DONKIN!!LOL
Charles Bently from Grant Alabama just won these for naming TinyGotBackanegger. My New 1317 kin growing this year.My best plant again this year.Its on fire??
Congrats Charles!!!!!! will ship today with a feeding Schedule
http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=222587
Ok This DAP 20 stuff /dont mean Dang Dittly Ding Dang Dong!!
I looked back on 2014 & my biggest kin on Dap 20 was my 1609. It was the 4th biggest in the end.
So put this in perspective.
Its a long way to the finish line. Dang Burn IT!!
DAP? Dont really dont Matter 1947 X 1317 Clementz male.But it is day 12. DAP is for cracks in kins comes in lots of colors.lol
This thing is on fire!!!! Bubbas evil plan to take over the Giant Pumpkin World is starting to unfold.LOL
Meet the DONKINATOR!!!!
TinyGotBackanegger!!1317 Clementz.If she makes it all the way.Will be the perfect pumpkin.Cloudmaggeddon is hurting her numbers.She is 2 days behind last years Tinyswartzanegger.But was pollinated on June 20th instead of the 21st.So she has one more day to catch up?lol? c64.5ss&ee 45.5 The dap numbers dont mean a lot,BUTT if we dont have a good rhythm the next 10 days 6 inches a day cicum minium the party is over for hitting 2000lbs.I dont think Carl blew up his kin.He is sandbagging,I bet?no worries Im after Benis title not Carls.
1 year & 1 day later & 1 inch smaller on circum.76 ss 52 ee 51 plus .To close to call on where this year will end up..1317 Clementz is pretty consistent though leading the pack again.Check out 1 year ago.http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=222172
This one will be oranger & a little deeper ribbed.Hopefully not lighter to the chart.Clouds are back today after 2 full days of sun.
BUBBAS GOT 6 INCHES! BUBBAS GOT 6 INCHES! (running in circles)getting 6 inches a day in circum thats what I feel is the minimum growth a day if shooting for 2000lbs.How can somebody so literate & terrible in english grow such butes?lol

Dap 30 on the Hulk Smasher! c106 ss70 ee67 OTT 243= 325 lbs

Donkin can ride with you if you like.Hope you can make it> Bubba!! Ill be back!!!
Doing my monthly weeding in the Buff.I figured I would post this for all the ladies.In some circles Bubba is considered eye candy for the blue hairs.lol
No thats not a 12 inch ruler!!lol NAPAGARR!! The Big GARY!!1985 Miller. Dap 30 427 lbs gained 46 lbs in past 24 hrs. Dawg days are here 88 to 90 for the next 3-4 days.

No cleavage,just a yardstick.Dap 40 1317 Clementz cir 149.about 100 lbs behind last years 1947.You dont want to see Bubbas cleavage.It would be from the rear,lol
Got 3/8s inch of rain yesterday,which drop temps from 90 to 84.This is good I hope we drop another 4 degrees cooler .Hot temps are not my friend.TinyGotbackanagger sure is PURTY!!!I hope she can do the distance like sissy.Doing 35-40 lbs a day.Slow & steady EddY!!!
"What are you doing Bubba"??
Im getting warmed up for the chat room.I hear there blowing a lot of smoke in there.
Bubbas getting a fill up,So Im ready to Rock!.lol
1947.5 Clementz.Nice looker.Butt shes going down.Planted it next to the kin cave & the water roll off & drip tape rotted the stump.Not a great year for Bubba.Do I hear a big sigh??From the Ohio area?lol
1768 my little turd in a punch bowl.lol looks like I wont get a PB this year.Sucks having a great year last year .Theres no where to go but down hill.lol
Maybe no PB here but I might have a HD winner,if somebody doesnt have a perfect 600 or 700 lber at a weigh off.TinyGotbackanegger not as big as sissy on the same day.Oh well maybe next year!Looking for a new Weighoff on the 10th of October,Any suggestions??Does Half Moon Bay have a HD prize??Stillwater??? East coast??I love a road trip!
Just a added note if you love orange the 1317 Clementz I believe is the top seed in the world to get you to a proven 1900 lb Orange kin! Just saying.Not blowing smoke up your A$$$ This is the real deal. 1495 Stelts X 2009 Wallace 2013
Rain this am just a tease 1/8 inch,butt better then the typical drought in August.Lawns are still green here.Temps are perfect for pumpkins highs are high 70s low 80s all week lows 60.Maybe we can get a good September also.Last year September got cold on the 13th and was crap the rest of the month.Shhh! Keep it a Secret & dont tell a friend.Carl(Donkin) is right,Weather plays a huge roll in growing.Some folks told me Everything was perfect when I grew the 1947.Well it wasnt that kin could of put on another 100 lbs with a good September.I got 400 lbs on the 1478 in September in 2012.I hope to see that this year.Maybe 500lbs ???? HulkSmasher ooozzing globs around the bottom the size of small marbles bigger then pea size.I hope she keeps going??Any squash growers got tips for a rookie squash grower??

Ma Ma Bubba has been helping weed the patch this season.Wow! is she good at this.I think it only right to give credit where credit is due.So I think a name change is in order.
137.5 Ansems back up plant should pollinate next week.Getting rain this am.Weather is perfect now for Giant Pumpkins.Nights are warmer then last year by 5-10 degrees.Day temps are 70s & 80s.Couldnt ask for better weather in August.Maybe we can act like a mater and Catch up!!lol
The 1947 Donkinator didnt abort after all.Doing 20 lbs a day with no stump."The rumor of Bubbas demise was greatly exaggerated"LOL Pushing 9 bills. This could win a county fair!!!
Storm went through yesterday only dropped a 1/4 inch of rain.Power went out due to high winds & a blue heron shorted out and fried a transformer.Poor bird.
Power was out about 22 hrs .First time in years it went out.Could use some rain.Temps this weekend 85 & 88 this is about as hot as August has been so far.Great night temps.Powdery Mildew is trying to take over with these warm humid nights in the low 60s & high 50s
1 inch of rain last night.A cool down is here the humidity was killing me.Now I have PM on the plants.It was so humid for a week the fungicides could only do so much.Well I still have TinyGotbackanegger for a possible HD winner.I hate to see her cantaloupe still soft as Bubbas BUTT!!

Wow! Nice family & friends.So busy visiting I just saw this cake on Monday Morning.People are awesome.Helping & bringing stuff.Bubbas home with the Sweet corn flu today.Ma Ma always said never eat 4 ears of corn.BuTT who listens to MA MA??LOL
1317 Clementz 42 seeds left for the 2016 season.20 go to clubs.22 go to WWGG seed sales to fund prize structure & few great friends.Very limited.I have 30 left in the freezer for my own personal growing for the next 3-5 years.I did self this years 1317 TinyGotbackanegger.To free up any confusion.The 1317 was crossed with 1 plant.The 2009 Wallace.The fruit was shaped like the 2032 Mathison,buTT cracked sideways due to grower error(at300lbs).The 1947 was pollinated(multiple) with sibling 2009 wallace plants.Some of the 1317s like 15% come out creme color like the father 2009 wallace.I repeat there was 1 Plant used to pollinate the 1317.Thats all I grew in 2013 1 plant.I did use multiple flowers I always do.I was raised in the 60s Hippie times multiple flower pollinating was just a given then lol
My 90 year old Aunt Carmen came to my Pumpkin Patch tour last Saturday.Sweet lady brought me a gift.I told her you have to see my office where I keep my collectibles.I told her look the candle has 3 teeth just like Bubba.lol Great memories.In the end thats all you have.I have never seen a hearst pulling a U haul.In the end the memories is everything!Family & Friends!!
Looks like the last week of August will finish out cool & cloudy 68 to 70 today.The good news is the lows will stay in the 50s.no 40s thats a bonus.The screen house will be in the 80s with a little sun.
Better shot of Eva Longourdia #2 She is all of 48 inches on dap 14,with 10 days of summer weather here.The sun wil be back by Tuesday they say??who knows??
Funny story here folks. Birdman takes a HIT FOR BUBBA.I registered by August 20th for the Canfield Fair.I knew I didnt have one to take,but I like to keep them wondering.Whats Bubba going to do next? They were very ticked I won it last year,Several of the Canfield fellas wouldnt even talk to me.They walked right past me & out of the building last October at the Big Event.Bill Neptune was a true gentlemen & congratulated me,On placing in the top 3.So last year I won with a 1124.This year we show up they have 1200 lbers still young pretty baby soft(young) cut off waiting for Bubba to show,lol We have Birdmans ugly duck Pumpkin petered out at 1057lbs on the truck.Bubba didnt bring a thing.LOL Seems the OVGPG backbone of the club dont love me since I dont stay down in 10th place like a good boy.lol Well I dont go where Im not wanted.looking for a new site? If you like a true blue contest open to the WORLD not just a region or locality.Send me an invite I will decide in 3-4 weeks where Im taking my little Howard Dill candidate this year?? & Napa GaRR! Gary tells me the 1985 Miller grows like gangbusters in September. Thanks Birdman for taking the hit 5th place.lol This hobby makes me feel 12 years old again.Sometimes are sportsmanship is like a 12 year old to.Sad but true.Its AWL GOOD!
Had a blast today! took a drive 1 hr to the north of me to Bay City.Clint has a 1317 Clementz growing like gangbusters with Marks Mixes,He had the seeds left over from the Bubba challenge last year.Pictures dont do it justice its a wide kin 109 wide at 60 days old.Not a liberty to tell more then that.His PB is 800 & some change.I think he has that beat.lol Thanks for the nice surprise lunch it was nice meeting your fine family.
Dawg Days of Summer!! Hot summer day should hit 89 to 90 humid sunny!A little to hot we will loose a little growth due to high temps,BuTT at least the sun is out.last week was about 2 days of sun 5 days of clouds.
Sarah Lee Gifford sporting her latest swimwear.
WOW! I know I toot my own horn a lot,BuTT this kin is unbelievably PURDY!!I see it everyday & it still blows my mind.Not that theres that much to blow.lol Reminds me of my sister she told her husband one day in a little rage of anger."Im going to get the BB gun & blow your brains out".LOL true story.
Set a permanent tape to measure more accurate the 137.5 Im hoping she wins some cash so I can go see Stuie & Ian & whole European gang!! Bloddy right!! Ya BLOKES!!!lol
Only 135 inches & she hits the soil.I hope this becomes a problem.lol I raised the other end 10 inches this end was only raised about 6 inches.Oh well I do have a shovel.lol
Napa Garr!Dap 73 .This may apear to be a sag line(Dill Ring)buTT I dont think it is.Its just the shape of the kin.Pete Glasier told me .We shouldnt call these Dill Rings.He said it was disrespectful to Howard Dill.I agree and will try & stop using that term myself.I think Howard had it right trying to grow Giant Orange Pumpkins.I think we have headed down a ugly path.I myself will try go orange only from herwe on out.I strongly beleive We can grow a World record ORANGE pretty pumpkin.I crossed the 1317 this year into this 1985 Miller.I think it will go orange next year.Big Wide long & orange. "Dont You Grow No Ugly Pumpkin"LOL
Pulled plastic over the house,just had 2 inches on Thursday.The ground is still full of moisture.Havent watered in the Kin cave in 6 days.Not letting another heavy rain in on my TinyGotbackanegger.

Dap 28 20 more inches & I'm digging dirt.Last years grew 45 days so I'm hoping for the same or more.Last year I grew 15 inches from dap 31 to 41.I'm hoping I can get in the 130s again this season.weather is looking good!Im 1 week earlier this year on the maturity expected date.
Jackson Reed started soccer today.They told me he is all boy.He tackled his coach from behind.The poor high school kid wasnt expecting it.He likes to wrestle.lol
This is my entry for the Bubba challenge taping around 1100 lbs,been growing with no stump since the 600 lb range.I thought I was going to loose it then.I crossed the 1317 Clementz into this.1947.5 X 1317 Clementz.
1317 Clementz I will be starting a new contest in 2016.The "Dont You Grow no Ugly Pumpkin"contest.You can use any seed you like.I will sell the seeds from mine to raise the prize money.Thinking like 1500 to 2 grand for first place.Whoever grows the heaviset all orange pumpkin.(bottom excluded)lol.Will win 1st place with 2nd and 3rd place prize also.I will work out the details this winter.If anyone would like to co sponsor or help with this??Im all ears?? I think we need to try & do what Howard Dill was doing 40 years.Grow world record pumpkins.That look like pumpkins.Not squash or gourds.
1317 again Jackson is starting to not pose well for photos.So Im going with the best pics of the fruits not the people.
"Dont you grow no Ugly Pumpkin" Its about time we headed in this direction.I know many will like this contest.Its a win win.If you loose you still have a pretty pumpkin.Not people asking Is that a squash??Is that a gourd?? Nobody says that when there all orange.

This Bald Eagle is there getting the help it needs to return to the wild one day.Or if not healed will have a home for life.Great cause.Howell Nature Center in Michigan.
Alexandria was my cousins grandaughter she will have passed away 10 years ago this December.She was only 7 when she left us.The family started the foundation in her memory & spirit.She loved Monarchs & raised them as a family hobby.
How could I not donate a Big Orange Kin to go in such a great place.Well back to my air bubbles.This is a week old picture.TinyGotbackanegger is over 201 inches now.Still moving I hope to catch the 1947.5 that was 204 inches when harvested. 2 weeks left to grow.
I heard there will be 5 kins over 2000 lbs at Stillwater this year.I heard everybody and there brother has a monster in Wisconsin & Minnesota.Bubba better head to Canfield & try for the HD award.lol

Delivered the 1177 Clementz to the Howell Nature Center & harvested the seeds.I think this will be a great cross.1947.5 X 1317 Clementz (1734)They were very happy to get such a pretty pumpkin.This seed has the genetics to grow a 2000 lb plus kin.Should be all orange.
They asked me if I wanted to put up a sign.This will be visited by hundreds of kids & teachers & parents over the next 2 weeks.The 1947.5 produces orange kins.I will have to grow this again & keep the stump healthy.
This last picture was taken in downtown Pickney Michigan.There annual Trunk or treat.It was fun.We are getting 3 nights of hard frost in a row this weekend.We had the warmest September & early October & can ever remember.Highs this weekend 46-48 degrees.Looks like Indian summer will hit mid week with temps in the mid 60s.For you younger folks.The definition of Indian Summer is. Warm sunny period Summer like weather after a hard frost has occurred.

Yes , you can pick the 1947 or the 1734 or 1177 all great crosses.I think the 1947 maybe the best choice.they all seem to go heavy.The 1947 is 66% 2009 Wallace,heres the big BUTT everyone loves. Its growing orange (heavy)pumpkins .Thanks I hope you join up "Bubba's 2016 Big Orange Contest"! The pumpkin must be orange to win.Heaviest Orange pumpkin wins. Our goal is to grow a WR Orange Pumpkin.The 1947 is limited in supply when there gone you will have to grow one of the others 1317, 1734, 1177. 1 seed comes with $35 membership more available at discounted price to members.1317 -$150 ,1947-$50 1734-$35 1177-$25 members only price.Membership opens December 1st .I can hold your spot & reserve your seed choice now if you like.

Contact Bubba =Mark@worldwidegiantgrowers.com
P.S. 1317 is excluded from seed choice,you can buy one from WWGG or a club auction this fall/winter.
I also sell seeds at WorldClassGardening.com to support our prize's
My math maybe wrong on the 1947.5 Clementz It should be %75 2009 Wallace
1st year Tiny (1317) 1495 Stelts X 2009 Wallace= 50% 2009 wallace
2nd Year(1947.5) TinySwartzaneggger 1317 X 2009 Wallace So its 66% or 75% ??
Is there a Mathematician in the House??lol
Its mostly heavy WR genetics throwing Orange!!
Congrats! Fabrice Boudyo grew a 8.3 lb Mater He is our Champ so far in 2015 It was too late for GPC,butt WWGG is open till December 31st.So it counts!!
Looks like are winner so far Congrats! Pete Vander Wielen 1583 only 83 days old still growing 12 lbs a day.Congrats!

Had a phone call yesterday.Pumpkin farmer of 29 years called.Said he saw me on the news.He stated he had never seen a giant pumpkin so pretty.He said it was ribbed without cracking all over it.He wants to buy six seeds & take me to lunch to pick my brain he said.He also wanted to know if I would grow 40 acres of pie pumpkins.lol If you live in my area & have 40 acres,let me know I will hook you up with this man.The 1177 is on sale to at WorldClassGardening.com or you can join up now.

Thank Ya Very Mulch
Yes I agree,if your looking for 100% perfect pumpkin you could really set the bar high & even weed out my line of seeds if you wanted to. Butt heres the Big BUTT, The goal here is to keep orange pumpkins growing over 2000 lbs.Thats my goal.I think the 2006 color ruling has drawn us away from that.The quest for the heaviest pumpkin in the world is fine.BUTT,One thing I noticed is people looking at my 1768 Clementz in 2014 & saying "Is that a squash??".If it doesn't look like a pumpkin? Whats the point? So I want to grow pumpkins that a total newbie looks at ans says "Wow! Look at that Giant Pumpkin "There is no guarantee with any seed that you get orange BuTT we can improve the chances greatly & get a line of seeds that will make the Top 10 in the world each year.So please join me in my quest at Worldwidegiantgrowers.com for $35 you get a 1734 -1947 or 1177 seed & How to grow video series on my Secret Facebook page.Plus you may win a 1317 in a giveaway.Its a great deal with prizes all season long.Were having Fun & growing Big Kins.I just set up a new mobile app so you can join on your cell phones. Thank Ya! Very Mulch!!
