How about this idea…To isolate the melon variety, pollinate a newly opened female flower on the melon plant by hand and then slip a small organza bag over the female flower you’ve just pollinated. keep it there until you are sure the fruit has set. It prevents any cross pollination. Good luck isolating that variety!
Next year I will experiment more with that! I bought some bags to do this with earlier this year
East coast unseasonably cool in the 50/60’s and after excessive prolonged heat nothing is ripening on the vines.
Ugh so sorry!!
Yes! early fall is happening all around the world, i live in Denmark and leaves startet changing a few weeks ago. The last couple of nights we went down to 42 degrees. It's been cold and rainy most summer. I took some pictures of the garden last year around mid september and the leaves were still lush and green. I think we are gonna have an early winter. Sending you lots of love from Denmark
Oh my goodness leaves changing already is crazy!!
😂😂the surprising look on your face when the heat of your pepper kicked in was priceless I choked my coffee with sweet laughter so instead of saying coffee time 😜 with Heather it's choke time with Heather this morning 😂😂much love from Missouri❤❤❤🕊️
LOL It was fine until I got to the seeds!!
A very wet rainy 48 degrees here this morning. Very much feels like fall this morning.
I'm really encouraged by you saying even the immature loofa will produce a sponge! I look forward to that video. Our growing season is too short here to grow loofa to maturity, but I want so badly to try!
Indeed!! Here is last year's video on green luffa!! ruclips.net/video/Sw1WQ2OLCMQ/видео.html
Love the video sweet girl!!! We have friends in Virginia that said the weather is so weird that their garden doesn’t know what to do. They were 47* in the past few mornings. Not normal.
We like to slice the patty squash then. Season them and dehydrate for chips. Everything looks so beautiful. Lots of work on the homestead. God bless
Great idea I should try that with our pattypan!
Isn't this a blessing from God? Abundance, that's for sure ! Like I always say , you worked to de finest to have such awesome harvest!
Oh good grief, southeast Texas here and our heat index was 112 yesterday. I would love to see some cooler weather, as you know we can't grow much other than peppers and caw peas , okra and sweet potatoes right now 😅
Awesome garden, Heather 😊
Yeah I saw texas is in a warm bubble!! I'll try to send a cool breeze your way!
In NJ garden season started very early and it’s ending very early.
Autumn is coming early, I think. Leaves are already starting to change.
Jackie looks just like my Hank.
bumper harvest
I roast mine on the grill, you get a nice smoky flavor
I'm in Oregon. All of my plants are in a state of confusion. My peppers are turning, and they're only the size of a quarter. My onions are going dry. The weather has been in the 60s with very few warm days. It's crazy
Right?! According to our forecast summer is coming back this week but it doesn't stay.
I've heard others mention about the persimmons this year. We did see a low here of 47 one morning. The heat is supposed to return next week. I'm not ready for cold weather at all but we could see an early Fall! Thanks for a great video!! Stay safe!!🙏❤🇺🇸
I saw about the heat!! I could do without the yo-yo!
@@SageandStoneHomestead YES!!
Yes! Getting cold here in the mountains in solar Tahoe. Planted in late June. Hit 40 degrees last night. Winter is coming.lol ahh not yet. I'm just getting tomatoes. Calling for rain and snow today or tomorrow! My glads are just about blooming! Heart hurts about it!
South Lake Tahoe
Snow!! Wow I'll count my blessings!!
Yes it’s early fall, thought was weird to
Wow that cool? We are battling 100 degrees weather in Mississippi 😂
It’s HOT again this week!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead oh lord
Looking forward to goats & rabbits
Me too actually! We tend to show what's taking up the most of our everyday lives at any given time and this time of year it's the gardens and food preservation :)
Just an FYI I will be missing in action for awhile. We are moving to the country and selling our house. We start moving next week end. I have been in the same house for 28 years, I will be able to be a true homesteader. I will watch and listen when I can. We are moving 43 miles away from where we are at now.
Congrats!! Take your time and enjoy the process, we will be here when you're settled in and ready!!
Our weather has been up and down, hot and dry, then cloudy and humid. But never enough rain. Tomatoes are on hiatus here; a few cherry toms but not much for bigger ones; it was just too hot in July to set fruit. Hoping for a long warm fall to get more before it freezes
I'd love a long fall too!
Lovely tour and colorful harvest this week, Heather! Lots of great volunteers too. Buster is so sweet, haha. Love seeing Colby and great job Jack! Hoping the second armpit turns out to be a true armpit. Glad the greenhouse is still producing with a few more tomatoes still on the horizon. I've seen several people mention how much they love the tromboncino, and some even say they will only plant from the 'moschata' group of squash which includes tromboncino and butternut (plus a couple others) due to their hardiness. So precious the hummingbird coming into the greenhouse. Love the bright cheery sunflowers and squash flowers, almost magical how they glow so sunnily. Glad Mooche is doing better! Thank you for sharing and bringing us along with you.
💚💚
I wonder about this white Zucchini, I think zucchini is cucurbita pepo but I can’t remember. Being from hybrid seed and potentially somewhat crossed with my white scallop from last year it could have retained some hardiness in the genes! Seems like it!
We had our first false fall the past few days but warming back up to 90 now.
We are seeing that soon too, hopefully the rain forecasted next weekend actually comes!
@@SageandStoneHomestead no rain for over a week now. We can’t seem to get caught up.
Very nice tour of the garden. Great harvest. Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings.

montreal canada also feels like fall already
I found my first hornworm last week! And the army worms are the ones that ate all my tomatoes. 🤦🏻♀️ my jalepenos are just now trying to take off. 🤷🏻♀️ I just let go of everything going wrong and left it all alone. we still harvested a lot, hopefully we get our new gardening space set up after we move rather quickly so I can plant my garden next year early spring.
Ugh dang worms!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead the hornworm was mean! Tried stabbing my tool with his horn and making his noises. Needless to say he did not survive. He hate ate down a jalepeno plant.
I am new to your channel and I’m loving it.
I live in lower Al. Near the gulf. We have been in the 60’s in the morning and back in the 90’s by noon. I’m noticing the leaves falling. I love the fall but I’m not sure about this weather.
It's very early for leaves turning but I think I see our leaves by the pond yellowing some.
Wonderful presentation👍👍👍👍
Yes- North Carolina- Research Triangle area- 56 this morning - not in August😳
Wow!
Thanks for a great garden tour. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍆🍓🍑🍆🍑🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍑🍑🍑🍑🍆
Last year, I was Peppergated and I ended up with a Shisito cross that was hot. All of them were hot and I love hot peppers but the taste was terrible. This year I grew mostly jalapeños (which was my goal last year too but I got seriously peppergated) and I used really old seeds and they were true to form.
I'm going to refresh my seeds. Thank you!!
Lovely, just lovely Heather! As far as weather, it is enough to give me whiplash. Too hot to live, then beautifully nice then back again. Crazy! 💜👍💜 Aunt Beth
We pick luffa much bigger than that when it is still soft and cook it in Stir fry or in soups
When it's cooked is it as spongy? Is it like okra to you?
It watery. It is not spongy, I can't explain. It is kinda like a cook cucumber or a eggplant Texter. You would have to Peel the outer skin with a Peeler
Okay that makes sense, thank you!!
Hi Heather I am in Daytona Beach Florida. It has been cooling down here plus we have been getting off and on rain too. In fact the past two days we had rain day and night.
Thank you. Have a great day.
I hope you can get it stabilized.
Me too!!
We've had very cool nights in PA too, low 50s.
My tomatoes were practically wiped out by tomato leaf borers this year, I had never heard of them before. They're terrible pests. Peppers are doing incredible though. You win some, you lose some! Have a great day! 😊
Beautiful garden and harvests, Heather! Lots of wonderful surprises (and maybe a couple disappointments, too). Thank you for the tip on the pattypan/scallop squash! I am now wondering if they would make a "zucchini" bread that needs less squeezing out. Will definitely try when we grow some for ourselves. We are "hooked" on the Tromboncino squash, though and they will have a permanent home in every garden we have because they're so very versatile, abundant, unique, AND pest & disease resistant for us, so making room for an alternate squash will be just "extra". LOL
It's hard to beat a good tromboncino!!
Me thinking it’s the armpit melon because it’s small and grows in the stem armpit😅not because it smells like one! B.O.😂😂
It’s a very interesting melon!
Never liked the auto sheller it seems to crush more than it shells. We have always preferred hand shelling. I have had a melon years ago as a kid that my grandmother called a musk melon. It was stinky but o the taste was delicious and golden orange inside. I have never had it since then.
It seems like melons like to readily cross! It does make sense, my bees love cucurbit flowers.
❤
Can I ask what you do with the gourds they did the best
This particular harvest of white Zucchini I gave away to friends :) The pumpkins will be given away to friends and family too, we will keep some and preserve them and eat fresh but there's a ton out there.
A week of temp at 80* during day and 57* at night for a week in Upstate SC not normal for August. There are still many hot days ahead. But I am ready for Autumn. I'm trying for 5th time to get zucchini to grow, squash bugs very intense here. Help? I noticed at end of July fall migrating birds at my feeder. What?? They aren't seen til Sept 4. Not as many grasshoppers this season and acorns are teeny tiny. Rough winter? ahead-hope not
I hope not too!! I would suggest trying a different variety of zucchini and maybe a different time of year. Usually there is only one brood of Squash bugs annually and sometimes earlier plantings do better or vice a versa.
@@SageandStoneHomestead I will try again. Thanks for the suggestion
Yes! Everything has happened at least a month early this year! Spring started early this year, hurricane weather started way early this year. So, now we seem to be experiencing fall earlier too! I welcome the cooler weather but I forsee it being a pretty rough winter but we really need it here in south carolina to kill the dang bugs!!
I guess we should maybe prepare for an early frost? I haven't seen what the almanac says.
@@SageandStoneHomestead I'd prepare just in case. This weather is so unpredictable this year.
@@SageandStoneHomestead The Almanac said Oct 18th for Upstate SC😦 I'll be putting peppers in containers to go in garage to get every fruit. Frost date is more closer to Nov
Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Superbe vidéo 😊
A bientôt
Nature's wonders, captured beautifully.
110° with humidity on Saturday! In NW Oklahoma. I'm so ready for Fall!
Watching, snapping beans.. couldn't sleep...
I’ve not been sleeping great either!
Your dedication is admirable
Its 104 here in Oklahoma with a real feel of 107. Can't wait for fall to finally show up
Ugh prayers for a nice long fall!
Shishito peppers are the best for pickling
❤❤❤
Your garden and harvest is still going strong! Those volunteer white squash are amazing!
Right?! This harvest of white squash I gave away! Never been able to do that before lol!!
Definitely not normal weather here in southern Indiana!! Also, if you look back our overnight temps have been way lower than normal most of the summer. Such a weird garden year❤
Indeed!!
Did Jacki catch a mouse? The first time I saw a cat eat a mouse in a farm I was amazed at how quickly they dispatch the whole mouse. It was pretty gross too.
Yes!!! I’m not sure if it was a mouse or a mole but he got something!
I didn't even have my persimmons on my radar yet. I am headed out now to check.
Mine are still very green
The ones at our house are green too
We have 3-4 hummingbirds visiting our garden this year. Most years they just flit around the flowers but this year I've seen them sipping necter from cucumber and bean blossoms. They seem more brave then in the past as well. They don't automatically fly off when I walk past them
It's still hot as hell in southeast Oklahoma 😅 we got a random good storm, but the heat index is still 109⁰ 😂
Woo that’s hot!!
12:20 I find with shishitos, if you blister them and then pull off the stem (the seeds usually come out with it), your nose can tell you if it’s one of the few hot ones.
Great tip! Thank you!
We've also had a bit of a cooldown in SE WI the last few days. It does feel like September and I love it!
I like it too. Fall is my favorite season
We are in the high 90’s all week in central Alabama. Very little rain.
I hope rain comes soon!
Your Lufas need to be around 6-8 inches and you can sauté it
Thank you! Do you treat them like okra?
Your garden is looking amazing. ❤ I love to make chicken and squash curry. I bet some of your rabbit would be good as a sub for the chicken. Sadly, I had a terrible squash year. So far, I've only harvested 1 lonely patty pan squash.
So sorry! Has the weather been back and forth where you are?
I'm in Texas zone 8b. Yes, the weather has been different. We had loads and loads of rain in the beginning of Spring, a really bad hail storm that wrecked my garden along with breaks of bearable temperatures when we are usually scorching hot, and we seem to be done with 100 degree temps already. I have to admit I'm a tad jealous of your low temps right now, lol.@SageandStoneHomestead
Did you read your persimmon seeds to see what they said. I think it is cool to do and look at don't know if I believe the folk lore yet but maybe one day I will.
The weather is most definitely concerning and happening here in va. I know it is suppose to return to warmer weather in a few days. I do love and enjoy the crisp air but it's kind of shocking to the garden going from 110 h and 80 l to 70 high and 50 l within a day.
On that note I saw a reading from a lady the other day and she had read I think i different seeds and they all had majority knifes and a few spoons. We havnt had much of a winter in 2 years here. Very mild some cold days below 30 but not many and we usually get a few good inches of snow and sometimes even a foot of snow and havnt seen that in years. I'm expecting this winter to be rough especially with this cold weather in August. Real weird. Never seen these Temps in August and not normally in Sept either unless it's late Sept.
That's the interesting thing there were no ripe seeds. They were all flat.
@SageandStoneHomestead what in the heck everything weird
I know it's a controversial topic, but the change in weather (i.e. hotter temperatures) is due to world climate change.
It's definitely debatable!
Our temperature yesterday was 108 degrees. No rain. 😥 It's so hot. Good harvest. ❤️🧓😘
ugh so sorry!
