I read 19th century farming journals as a hobby, and according to the July 1, 1856 issue of The Illinois Farmer the term "pumpkin" was usually applied to fodder varieties, while the term "squash" was applied to culinary varieties. But even in that article they throw their hands in the air and ask "but who can define the exact difference between pumpkin and squash?"
Good-day Malc!👋 Y'all certainly have a sweet harvest of pumpkins and squash! Beautiful!👍 Fun to watch the harvest and to learn what on earth a marrow is.😄 I've heard UK gardeners mention marrows a few times...figured it was just another type of squash y'all enjoy. Great workout and lovely beds you are passing along.😃 I roast and pureed some of my pumpkin...stores well in the freezer. I also make some into a powder. Doesn't take of freezer space and taste great when rehydrate and added to pancakes, etc.🙂 Continued good times and happy fall!😃🍂
Full of envy Malcolm I’d love a load of pumpkins like that for winter imagine all the soup and roast pumpkin we could have, I’ve eaten pie in the States but not made it myself what a haul well done
That line up of pumpkin and squash is impressive and beautiful color on those curry ones! Those pale globes are usually spaghetti squash here in the states.
It is suppose to be down to 44 F Thursday night. I have been picking all tomatoes and peppers as I grow outside, not in a greenhouse. You are really moving things around. It looks so nice.
Wow a harvest to be proud of there Malcolm 😊. Mine was a little smaller with three decent size Uchiki Kuri from two plants, I would have had more but the smaller ones shrivelled as it got super hot and I struggled to keep up with the watering due to the drought. I also had two small crown Prince which I am looking forward to eating and a Marina do Chioggia, a lovely dark green heritage squash. Oo and three Baked potato squash which when baked in the oven the flesh is just like baked potato apparently. Looking forward to those too. Good times indeed
Hi Malc, Hope you are keeping well 🤞, it's all looking good down on your plot 😁.I think one of my favourite things down on my plot is emptying my 30ltrs tubs of 🥔. Because you never know what lies beneath 👍, Take care 🙏.
WOW what a harvest they look lovely. I grew pumpkins and spaghetti squash for the first time this year and i got 4 large pumpkins & 4 small & 5 spaghetti squash and i'm looking fwd to trying them i love roasted pumpkin sprinkled with some spices but have never tried the squash so excited about that. You are a lovely person thinking of the next owner i hope they appreciate itxx
Loved watch you harvest your pumpkins I love this time of year it’s my favourite. Mine failed really I just got one plus summer squash patty pan types and itchi kuri’s I have 4 so not total failure but not many for storing. Also my runners I grow for drying for winter also failed not many of those 😫but I grateful for our abundant tomatoes have made so many sauces for freezer. Courgettes have been amazing and have made stew started with those and onions and garlic for freezer so we do have food for over the winter and of course kale and other fresh brassicas growing. But your pumpkin harvest is amazing so happy for you. It will be sad for you to give it up. But needs must as they say. Good times👍
Thankyou for this video Malc, lovely harvest of squash. It does feel good to crack on with the clearing up at the end of the season, starting on it myself at the moment …. Good times!
Congratulations on your pumpkin / squash harvest Malcolm. A lovely harvest.

It looks so different when we are done….a blank canvas…..take care Malc
You are such a considerate person Malc, leaving all that lovely compost behind. I hope the new occupant knows how lucky they are.
Hi Carol, it’s good to help folks…..take care Malc
Think I would be taken all the good compost give your beds a good top up and fill you tubs for nxt years spuds
Hi John, I’m happy to give my neighbour a good start as he lives a couple of doors up from my house….Malc
Malcolm, won't the flying & floating hot embers from your bonfire be a risk to your neighbours polytunnel? I.e. more than likely melt holes
Malc does mention that 😊
I think you are right Mikes, might have to have a plan B…..take care Malc
Don't burn the wood, ask around to see if anyone wants it, they might have a wood burner
I have asked around Patricia….no takers yet….take care Malc
Do you have a burn barrel ?
Sadly not Sharon, good idea though .....Malc
