Random question I know, but according to one of my listeners this is the way to go! Take a look/listen and tell me what you think!

Before we get started, let me address my Giant Pumpkin Contest competitor Fred, because I know he's looking at the pics of my pumpkins and laughing because they're a little yellow and a little wilted! -

Dear Fred-I KNOW! It took us too long to get them in the ground and they were root bound in the red solo cup s we had them in and we were watering all of the nitrogen out of their soil. The wiltyness is due to transplanting and they look GREAT today. I hope yours don't die of shame when they see how much bigger mine are. Oh and I also got some more secret weapons from the folks at Live Earth...

Now moving on... one of my listeners called and asked if I was going to feed my GIANT pumpkins sour milk?!

He says, his buddy used this method and his pumpkins were HUGE! Take a listen:

So I Googled it and according to eHow you're supposed to:

  1. Make a small slit in the stem 3 inches from the pumpkin.
  2. Insert one end of a wick into the slit and the other into a pan of milk.
  • 2% is recommended
  • You can also inject it directly into the stem with a siring
  • You can also pour a cup of milk around the roots everyday
  • And spray the leaves with milk

These tips are supposed to increase size, plant production, leaf strength & more however eHow also says that,

While milk can make a beneficial impact on the growth process, it does not have any properties that directly increase pumpkin size. However, milk does have the potential to keep your pumpkins healthy and free of disease that results in smaller growth.

So what do you guys think?
