If you bake butternut squash seeds at 350 for 10 or 15 minutes in a convection toaster oven (with a little salt sprinkled on), they are more delicious than pumpkin seeds. You can eat the entire butternut seed.
I LOVED this video. It’s time, Love, and KNOWLEDGE that’s being shared here! It’s sooooo important for the older generation to share their knowledge with us. They just need to be shown that we are willing to accept it! Spend time w your elders y’all! They have so much to teach us!!
Exactly!!! That's the way life should be. My husband and I started a garden to share with our neighbors. Thank you for your video!!! Loved what you said about growing with love, heart, thought...and its food!!
Hi. This year was my fist time getting butternut squash. I was able to harverst 6 and I wanted to share it with some friends and neighbors. Not enough. Ill give and stay with one. It’s so exciting to grow and harvest squashes. I been growing small things for the past 30 years but never had a squash to grow for me. Am on a roll now. I’ll try to grow many next year. I love to share what I grow, it makes me smile just like you. Enjoy and thank you for your video. Z. Miranda. From Queens, NY.
Oh my, what a lovely abundance! Beautiful people. Art's parents are a true blessing. Butternut squash is one of my favorites. I've just introduced me Mister to it and got positive feedback. So he'll eat enough to fill a barrel this winter! Thanks for sharing your learning process on this. Some of it I knew, and some is new and that's a great experience for me!
We love butternut squash! The little New England coastal town I grew up in was famous for their butternut because it grew so sweet there! Art's parents are very nice. We barter all the time and enjoy the community sharing!
Thank you for the informative video! The first year I grew butternut squash, I had eight vines. They were producing so many squash that I knew it would be more than I or my friends and family would eat. Out of curiosity, I picked some that were about 6-7 inches long and still green and soft skinned. I cut them up, left the skins on, and stewed them like yellow squash with some butter. While they were mushier than yellow squash, the flavor was outstanding! Now I make sure to enjoy some like that every year and even freeze some.
those community and barter things really resound for me. we already do this though we are still living in the city, but I'm still so excited when we can REALLY get into it and start reaching out with our own produce
You all are truly blessed with free food i was blessed this week with free food from neighbors and family your parents are really sweet like you are thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a beautiful harvest!!!! We also got some things this weekend. Lemons from my mom's tree, loquats from my brother's tree and oranges from a friend. I gave strawberry jam, homemade peanut butter, and pickled vegetables. And a jar of parsley and garlic in oil. I would love to hear your story about living in the camper!!!!! Have a great week!
We just have some raised beds in our front yard in town, but we always have too much of something or other, so we get to share. It's one of the most fun parts of gardening. --Brenda
This may be the most valuable thing I learned today. So vital since this is my first year growing this type of squash. I also did not know about eating sweet potato leaves. Thanks for sharing!!
One thing I love to do with delicata or butternut is to put it in apple crisp. About half and half, gives it more nutritional punch, and really, with the sugar and spices, you can hardly tell it is in there. I grow a lot of pumpkins and squash, even more recently, (and sweet potatoes), because it is very good for the dogs. I have a Cowboy Kent recipe for 'beagle biscuits' that is peanut butter and pumpkin that I'll try this winter. Too busy with fall vegetables right now. I save some of the pumpkin goop in freezer bags and give it to the chickens later in the spring, early summer for a treat. They LOVE it. Also, I've put cooked pumpkin in cupcake papers and frozen it for 'fancy coffee drinks'. I will also freeze some good orange veg in 1 or 2 cup portions for baking. I think I'll can some this year, too, but with the way the world is, I keep re-arranging my pantry shelves! Food = peace of mind. If you buy canned pumpkin in the store, realize that many brands mix in squash, which you can't really tell, but just sayin'. Our Wegmans says 100% pumpkin on the label. Thanks for the nice video!
Great video. Lovely family. I'm trying a 3 sisters garden this year. Corn beans and squash. Combine them (sukatash) and you have a complete protein. Native Americans had that one figured out. God bless you all!
I love to share what I have extra of with people. I hope we can find a new community at our new home. It seems like everyone tends to stick to themselves though.
Hi guys ! lovely video !! I honestly do it just a tiny bit different but not much , I do not leave them in the field in the sun but already take them in for their healing ! ofcourse where it is sunny and dry , the reason why is due the fact you never know when the first frost comes down and secondly if left on the ground they seem to cure less ! so we take them in and use a cold room where there is a good sunny place where we leave them for about two weeks in the sun on dry newspapers and then turn over for another week or so and then put in crates to store but with making sure there is some fresh airflow underneath them so they do not start to rot ! works great ! ty for the vid again ! love it ! cutting my squashes probably about a week or closer :)
I love squash with b nuts my fav. I have grown them in my backyard urban garden and they do take over. So, this am I was at my local flea market (Jamies Flea Market in Lorain Co. Ohio) where some local farmers sell their produce. Just bought 5 b nuts with the largest weighing in at 6 lb 13 oz and the smallest was 5 lb.at $1.00 each. Also got 6 acorn squash at 50 cent each and weighing about 1 lb 8 oz each. If I had the room as you do I would grow them again but with the flea market I'll just buy them. You have a beautiful bunch of fruits there
We should have started with my Morakniv to cut the stems of the butternut squash and the pumpkins. But we ended up using anvil hand pruners--much more effective, and safer. We will be cooking down some of the pumpkins. -Art's Dad (Grandpa)
i was wondering why you'd use a knife to cut the stems. i cherish my anvil pruners and use them all the time in the garden. i really enjoyed the video. nothing like learning from those who have done it in the past. lots of wisdom in those years. i've gardened for years and am just now trying winter squash. not sure how i have managed without them all this time but after eating butternut squash for the first time recently i knew i had to add it to my to grow list.
Love the video I got spring fever already to plan next years small gardens. Will be putting in more squash to see if we can get a good crop to eat and share.
We store ours, in basement and pick the squash , then dunk then in a sink of water with a couple cups o regular bleach , then dry them and lay on a towel in the basement and they last past the next spring , we are in Canada,,,
Mmmmm...butternut squash is the best...little salt & butter 👍👍 My Mom used to add some brown sugar too when she cooked hers. Good eatin' for sure & good for you 😁😁
Oh my gosh!!! So many off of 4 bushes! I tried to trellis my butternut and buttercup squash, 4 plants of each. I have a total of 3 squash from each :0( We are creating bigger squash area and I will set them out there where there will be more room to grow! Thanks for the great info!
I'm jealous of all that squash! :) maybe next year's garden.. Hey Bri, you can place those greenish pumpkins in the sun to cure & they'll taste just great. I had to pick my late crop of sugar pumpkins last year night before last frost & one was completely green. I left it on my kitchen east window for a month to ripen and sure enough she turned all orange. They kept 9 months on my northside dining room table just lovely. ;) My black beauty zuccini was the same way - if some of it is yellowish, place on window sill to ripen & she'll turn black & last about the same amount of time maybe a bit less.
pruners are much safer to cut the stem. Sometimes I only have my knife but I try to have the pruner in my pocket when I feed the chickens and bring one or two back to the house on the way.
Last year mine still had some green but they were hard. Most people had comments saying that if any green was showing they would rot but since I had frost, I picked them. Finally found one person who said to just keep them in a sunny area indoors until they turned tan. I have a 'garden' window that extends out, in my kitchen. I placed them all there, including a few small ones, I would rotate them every day so they got even sun all around. They turned tan and I stored them in my walkout basement. I finally finished them all this last week, Sept 19, 17. None rotted and they all tasted great. I used the small ones first. Number one question: how do you keep squirrels from taking all your hazelnuts. They left me TWO.
Love the gift economy! Don't you wish the whole world worked that way? If you're ever in the mood for some great reading, check out the work of Charles Eisenstein. He writes about this and related topics a lot. His book "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible" changed the way I look at everything. Sounds trite but very true. And, he fairly recently moved to Asheville. Just want to thank you for such wonderful videos and your willingness to share so much of your lives. I spend very little time on line but find your channel to be so uplifting and worthwhile. And, Art's parents are precious. I know you realize how blessed you are to have them in your lives. And butternut squash is a favorite around here, too. We planted a compact variety this year for the first time just as an experiment and it did well. Peace!

I love roasting the b nut seeds, they're delish. I've also roasted pumpkin seeds but they are a bit tougher than the b nut seeds.

I love when y'all go to Grandma's house. Enjoy seeing both of them in your videos. I am learning so much about vegetables from her. Thank you!
Adorable kids, adorable baby. Adorable Pimkin Pumkins adorable grandparents and family. Thanks for sharing
What a beautiful setting. Your mom is a beautiful gem. What good teachers you have. All beautiful folks !
Grandma is beautiful!!! I absolutely love how gracefully she has matured. Stunning:)
Exactly what I was thinking. Beautiful, smart woman!

Thank you for this! I have an abundance of butternut squash growing in my garden and needed to know how and when to pick them. Perfect video! ❤️
Oh my, what a lovely abundance! Beautiful people. Art's parents are a true blessing.

Melanie Varela How do you fix it? My husband doesn’t want to try it because he never liked the way his, um, the first woman in his life made it.

Yes they are!

I am looking forward to that myself!
I store butternut on the shelf in the living room lying around... Just cooked one that was one year old. Yeah it was picked LAST fall!
You all are truly blessed with free food i was blessed this week with free food from neighbors and family your parents are really sweet like you are thanks for sharing.
Thank you Art a Bri for sharing your video homestead 🐔 🐓🐥🐈🐕🐖🐂

Hopefully we can tell that story too. Sounds like you live somewhere tropical!
Your videos are so fascinating, giving is a blessing too. I'm so glad Justin featured your channel🎈

Such a lovely family! God bless u all!! Thank you
This popped up today from 6 years ago. I watched them faithfully. I hope they are doing well.
I love to share what I have extra of with people. I hope we can find a new community at our new home. It seems like everyone tends to stick to themselves though.
Thanks for the info. I'm planting more butternut squash. Yummy.
Another great video. Wow this kiddos are so little... this is so nice to see the young family.
Giving is a 2 way blessing!
Such a special person you are. Art too

Thanks for sharing this video! It was quite helpful as I'm growing my first butternut squash right now and need to learn about harvesting and storage.
Can really see the family resemblance!😊💕
Beautiful grandma
Butternut Squash & Pumpkin leaves can also be eaten...they are so tasty.
Beautiful message at the end of video. God's abundance sure does overflow His people! 🙂
Amen!
Really appreciate the video. My first year growing and storing winter squash, really appreciate the knowledge in your vid🖒
Thanks for great education I never knew about leaving a stem. Planted tomatoes now but I want to expand.
Triple thumbs up. Grandparents are lovely.

great job showing family and the value to haveing a loving one
I love caramelized butternut squash with butter and pepper
Love the video I got spring fever already to plan next years small gardens. Will be putting in more squash to see if we can get a good crop to eat and share.
So fun to see what everyone shares with you! We have been blessed by Apple abundance here 😀
Nice inspiration of God's goodness 😇 Blessings and Shalom to All 💙
Thank you for this. Loved the message at the end. So true!
What an amazing place and community you live in, and you seem to have fantastic weather, beautiful 😍
Thanks for sharing your squash and pumpkins 🎃!
Thank you all , very nice
We store ours, in basement and pick the squash , then dunk then in a sink of water with a couple cups o regular bleach , then dry them and lay on a towel in the basement and they last past the next spring , we are in Canada,,,
We also judge ripeness on the stem turning brown, no longer looking fresh, green and plump
You are doing great 😍👍🏻 just back your self in and family in hard times because you will have get hard times I wish you good luck 😊
Thanks.
So true, giving time with family is rich. Money has no power in such cases.
Mmmmm...butternut squash is the best...little salt & butter 👍👍 My Mom used to add some brown sugar too when she cooked hers. Good eatin' for sure & good for you 😁😁
Filled pumpkin an sugar pie pumpkin are . Used to make pumpkin pie puree. For pumpkin pie
If you cut enough of the stem, I wonder how hanging them like spices would work? Monster sized spices, to be sure!
Sharing is caring.
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
Very informative. Thank you for posting.
your grandma looks amazing. she doesnt look old enough to have adult grand children!!
Love eating fresh pumpkin tips as well.
Good video. Love the sharing and the goodness shown. God bless you all.

Great Information - I love your beautiful, talented Grand! You are a lucky gal to have her.
Yes I am!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
i just found you.. you have a great show :) thank you so much for taking the time to teach us.

ıt makes my day when ı see your vıdeo. thank you and blessıng
Glad to oblige! Thank YOU for watching!
Great video! You guys are the best
Instead of buying and selling, we are coming to an age of giving and receiving!
That would be pretty amazing!
Good food...Wow..
I love you guys i wash i had a life like you all have .
what a beautiful video and family, thank you for sharing x
What blessings
Can one pick and eat right away? Or should I let it sit por 2 weeks before enjoying.this delicious squash
Sometimes squash are dirty as they touch clay or other dirt. Do you wash squash before curing and storing? If so, what do you add to water?
This blog is ma jam now.
I will try butternut squash&pumpkins this year if the stink bugs don't ear the.
How do you squish aphids? Aphids have been decimating my squash plants.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
nice talk , i `m happy you know what say about
pruners are much safer to cut the stem. Sometimes I only have my knife but I try to have the pruner in my pocket when I feed the chickens and bring one or two back to the house on the way.
Absolutely. This was the first shot, and with a dull knife. Then they switched to a pruner. -Art
Looks great. God bless!
Does she buy those boxes at the grocery, or do they give them away as used boxes?
Hi,Is it Possible dry out the Butternut squash and make a bird nest out of the Shell..or is this only done with gourds.
Enjoyed the video and signed up

should I roll my squash around while they are growing?
All I have to say is…….. I’m jealous.
Do you really use all of those during the winter?
excellent

So amazing
That was a great video! But I didn't get the hazel nuts from the reunion. They were gone when I went back to the table. :-(
What a bummer! I will try to get you more .
