Re: Yellow Leaves
I am new to growing giant pumpkins but am a VERY experience Dahlia (flower)
grower. Some serious experienced Dahlia growers use Espom salt to green up
yellow leaves. I believe they mix 1 tbs. Epsom salt to 1 gallon of water.
I know that "salt" scares some people from using it because they are worried
about salt build up in their soil but I have read that Epsom salt does not
contain the type of salt that is a problem.

Subject: Yellow Leaves
I have 6 seedlings which I am going to thin out in a few weeks, but I am
trying to figure out which fertilizer to use now. I have 6-7 leaves on
each plant and am using a fish 5-1-1 every 5-6 days (I have very sandy
soil). Could I put Miracid 30-10-10 on it to get them going?
Thanks
Alan
I am growing giant pumpkins for the first time and all of my seedlings have
3-4 true leaves, but the fringes of the larger ones are starting to yellow
and the first 2 seed leaves are all yellow. Is there something I should be
doing differently? I planted them in the ground yesterday and have
fertilized them a few times with 10-52-10. I have grown 'prizewinner'
pumpkins for several years and have never had this problem.
Thanks
