When do you start using potassium? I have 0 0 60 sitting in my basement. I used it really late in the season last year....I have looked in the pumpkin growing book volume two and I know to use Miracle grow early and then 20 20 20...but where does Potassium fit in...or is 20 20 20 ok for the whole season? I am also going to try and get some fish or seaweed based stuff...and of course I have plenty of horse manure in my patch

I'd wait with the potassium untill you have a pumpkin set about the size of a basketball or so. Manure in the patch is a beautiful thing. Good luck.

Oh boy...do I have green stuff....about a foot long of it in fact, in my icecream containers. Still a bit too cool nites to set them out.
