Laura all summer: I don’t know how anything is going to turn out.. the soil looks so bad.
Laura all fall: I’m so amazed at how great the soil has done!
Honestly though, it has been the most fun few months watching you enjoy and execute this vision for the new space! I totally feel like I’ve been part of the process and your joy in Benjamin’s joy is so relatable! So happy for you and grateful to share with you through these videos!
Pumpkin picking is my favorite time of year! On the east coast the colors of fall combined with wandering through a glorious pumpkin patch makes me smile! 😻😍❤️
How many of you like the video before even watching because you know it’s gonna be awesome?!
👋 me lol
Me
😂

Never had a true appreciation for pumpkins until this year when you planted your crop. This was so much fun to watch! As someone else mentioned, I see you do it and I say to myself "I want to do that"! Can't wait to see how you decorate with your stash.
Just the perfect video, pumpkin, little boy and cat ❤️❤️❤️
And Laura "looks" pregnant for the first time, to me. I love that!!!❤
True that!! ❤️🙏👍
@@mariankay6482 I saw the baby bump too 👶
I was thinking the same thing ...
I totally agree with that ,,, great video 👦😸🎃
What an amazing harvest with some gorgeous varieties. I love how Benjamin was making his own piles 🤣
This channel is criminally underrated.
Sebastian Elytron Not by her over 1 million subscribers!
The best!
??
Never replies to my comments so I unsubscribed. She just replies to people who are payed members. Sad.
I watch it for just to relax and getting some tips
Waiting to see the decoration part. Here in India we use them for eating only😀
God is the best designer !! Look at all the shapes, colors, textures, with delicious food inside. And to think He did this all in 6 days!
Amen! What a great designer He is!
Just dig the dirt out from under the ones under the fences. And just slide them out. I like the pink and green and white ones best.
What an incredible pumpkin and squash harvest. That is a precious little boy you have there😘
I just love how you get so excited about everything, color,texture, size, just every part of the growing experience.
Wow Laura ! That's a super harvest! 😀 and the variety is amazing. I've seen many of them for the first time.
Would u be cutting any of those? Would be fun to see the color of the flesh. I'm wondering how the pink ones would be from inside. White, yellow, orange?
Laura: “Then we have a no name pile”. Love this harvest video. Family fun, informative and entertaining.
Love your enthusiasm and the “Mom” moment at the end was so sweet! It’s so cute when the little ones get it 😁
Great crop, loved all the squash.
This space has been such a pleasant surprise. I hope you get your dream heated greenhouse next season. How exciting would that be!
It’s like an Easter egg hunt and Christmas morning all rolled into one!!! Nice job!
I was waiting for this video. So excited to see what you have out there🤩. Later edit: such an amazing harvest🤩🤩 I have never seen so many pumpkin types in one place. Can wait to see the decorating part 😆
Me too!😁
me three!
Excellent piles, Benjamin! ❤️
Benjamin is so cute, God bless you and your whole family Laura. I love harvest time!
What fun!! I never doubted for a second that your harvest would be so beautiful. I love all of the varieties. You have a natural green thumb. When you first started harvesting I was like WHERE is Benjamin, he would get such a kick out of helping. I’m glad we got to see his excitement. Can’t wait to see how you decorate this year. Thank you for letting us into your lives.
That had to be one of my most favorite videos!!!! I loved seeing all the different varieties and think you picked some of the best varieties to grow. So showy! Benjamin was so cute! He and Russel just topped off the video! Look forward to see them decorated around the property!
Your excitement is contagious (and adorable) as is Benjamin's. I'm sure I'm among many that are trying to figure out where they can plant some pumpkins and squash in their landscape/yard next year.
My 12 year old and I both love the Flat Stackers though they were all beautiful. Such a beautiful harvest!
How fun!!! It took me back to my childhood, my children’s time and now my grandchildren’s time with pumpkins. Watching your pumpkins and squash grow has been great!!
Happy watching from France enjoy Harvesting ur Pumpkin and SQUASH
I don't think I could pick a favorite! So many interesting ones. Benjamin was so cute with his pumpkins.
The first pumpkin was worthy of a fairy godmother turning it into a coach. Wonderful harvest. Benjamin is adorable!
I’ve been anticipating this video, since you planted those seeds. My hubby mentioned we need to grow some next year for the grandkids. This is all good info, thanks 😊
A great harvest of gourds! That garden sure did thrive well! And...How adorable is Benjamin! Such a sweet and helpful little boy. He’s going to make a great Big Brother!
Wow at the abundance, especially since you thought the soil was poor, just a fantastic harvest! The porcelain dolls are my favorite, sooo beautiful
What an amazing harvest! And I'm so jealous of Benjamin for having his own pumpkin patch.I honestly don't know if I could pick a favorite! I like the two different green and white marble looking ones and the Cinderella.
I can’t wait to see your pumpkin projects! You have such a great green thumb.
You should call your old garden the “estate garden”. Something a little more formal.
Oh my gosh, what a harvest! It's so fun to watch Benjamin with the pumpkins, he is the kindest, sweetest child, how blessed. Excited to watch your little girl grow up in the garden as well. Thank you
Love how you make everything so joyous!
Hello Laura, thank you for harvesting your pumpkins with us, I have been waiting for this video with great anticipation. The US celebrate autumn in the most amazing way, and because of this, I always have fond memories when I see pumpkins. My favourites are Connecticut Pumpkin and White Acorn squash. Would you be kind to show us your fall pumpkin displays in the days to come, please? Also it was lovely to see the whole family in the Pumpkin Patch.
Aww, Loved this Soo Much. Just seeing the Big Smile on your face & how excited Benjamin was, Soo Worth All your Work!! Can't wait to see how you Decorate! Never miss an Episode. Hugs 👍❤❤❤❤
Oh my WORD!! That is an amazing harvest of beauty! Now I’m making plans for a pumpkin patch next year. I have to say the Pipian From Tuxpan Squash is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful! I am wondering how many of these different varieties will y’all be eating and how would you prepare them? I’m a true southern girl here in Georgia and am only familiar with yellow summer squash and zucchini either sautéed or fried. I’ve always been curious of different squash like acorn and butternut but don’t know the beat way of preparing them. We would LOVE see a cooking video of you preparing your favorite dish using your plentiful bounty. Your excitement is so infectious and uplifting I find myself excited for you as you see what all your hard work has produced. Thank you so much for brightening my days.
I agree...this just makes my heart full of joy. Laura, your heart is so BIG!
Becky Neal I’m in Georgia too and butternut squash can grow here and is easy to cook. Cut it in half lengthwise and cook in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes or 40 minutes. Delicious!
It is pure joy watching children in a pumpkin patch. Benjamin may enjoy the book "The Biggest Pumpkin Ever" . It was always a favorite of my students.
“Pumpkin patch....!” I have in my mind the scene from Home Alone for some reason. But with Benjamin doing it.😆 Your family should pick a name for you garden/homestead. Like they do with a sign above the entrance to your property. Maybe a contest or input from your subscribers.
Thank you for such a cheerful, uplifting, joyful video. I look forward to each and everyone, this was especially delightful. Some of my favorites and some I plan to plant next year are:
- One Too Many
- Flat Stackers
- Porcelain Dolls (my #1)
- Quaker Pie
- Jarrahadale
- Kogigu
Loved seeing the family enjoying it all.
You could refer to it as “Original garden” and “New garden”. I love watching your videos you do such amazing work and your authenticity is refreshing! 💖
Laura next year you should try a couple of the giant pumpkin varieties. It would be fun to see how big they will grow in your new garden space
You have everything but the superstars of the pumpkin world, Butternut squash
I love those smaller “warty but not warty” green ones!!! Mixing those w the small white pumpkins would be a beautiful arrangement in a wooden dough bowl😍
Thank you for showing the pumpkin harvest. I've been waiting for it.
I love them all! 🧡 I didn’t get any grown in my garden this year. They are my very favorite thing to grow. I feel like Benjamin every year and want to scream “pumpkin patch!” This year I can live vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing! 💚
I heard someone at the front door today, I go to the front door open a package a surprise! I know I haven't ordered anything, so I opened it up Garden Answers sweatshirt, I did not. My son comes in and he says Mom did you get your delivery. I said yes I did and I LOVE IT! HE KNOWS I WATCH EVERY VIDEO. 🌼💕
Dat Da Da Dah! And now... here are the pumpkins from the prolifically producing pumpkin patch prodigy! LOL Most impressive!
love your alliteration!
@@JJ-fm3hr LOL. And that's how we Language Arts Teachers view the world... (:-)!
Had to say that aloud! Da Dah!
This video was one of my all time favorites, thank you for sharing! Would you consider adding in a few gourds next year? I love growing them and they are just as much fun as pumpkins.
Congratulations Laura! All that hot, hard work has finally paid off. ALL of them are gorgeous! I have to admit to a little gourd envy here. I just keep thinking of all the decorating I could do with some of those. 🤔 So happy things are turning out well for you. Isn't it amazing what God allows with a few seeds, some sunshine, water, and dirt? 🥰🍁☀️💧
Great video and variety! Love little Benjamin's reaction...so lovely. I planted my pumpkins in May and they were ready to harvest in the first week of September, (we had an early snow that week) way too early, 5 plants took over half my garden! I got 4 really massive pumpkins called Monster and my grandkids already claimed them. LOL! And I have about 10 of another variety. We've already eaten or given away the acorn squash and spaghetti squash. Everything was so early and prolific this year. I have you to thank for that with all your tips for soil and fertilizer. On another note, I got my husband hooked on your videos and we recently started talking about selling our house and finding somewhere out in the country with more land to grow more beautiful things. (Although the mention of black widow spiders almost put me off...almost LOL!) I especially loved my tiny cut flower garden this year. We'll see, I might have a larger garden next year! Have a great day and thank you for the inspiration!
Me: I'm all geared up to try this for myself next year!
Laura: I found 4 black widow spiders in here this year.
Me: Hold up!
Linus would be very proud of this pumpkin patch! Welcome, Great Pumpkin!
I am watching 11 months after this was posted. I'm in Virginia. I tried to grow several varieties of pumpkin, 2 varieties of squash, the basics. 3 varieties of cantaloupe, watermelon,. Your pumpkins look spectacular. Mine were attacked repeatedly by the moth that lays it's eggs on the stems and the pupae burrow into the vine when it hatches, rapidly killing the entire plant. Also the squash bugs have been a plague. I started spraying too late. I am so disappointed I cannot even put words to it. I so looke forward to the excitement you are experiencing now. I am happy for you, congratulations. Maybe I will succeed next year.
Okay Laura i think you have us all wanting at least an acre of land to grow mass amounts of pumpkins and squash! I think that this harvest was my absolute favorite harvest!
happy Harvest!!
my favorite is “One Too Many”
Flat Stacker !!
Small triped gourd or the hairy ones with the long unique stems
Impressive!! So many varieties.
Love watching Benjamin get excited!!
Gimme all the pumpkins! Amazing harvest! There’s nothing better than seeing your own child’s joy. Such sweet excitement 🥰
It’s so hard to choose a favourite! If it had to be only one, it would be “One Too Many”. It has great colouring, shape and texture!
I’ve already forgotten the name, but the dark squash with the long stems you liked is my favorite. The green color of the stem against the dark skin - lovely contrast. And the stackers are very nice. They’re all cool though.
Hello Laura, I hope you don’t mind me making a personal comment, because along with your very abundant knowledge, you seem to be such a really lovely person. I have been gardening for about 60 years but your passion for growing is so infectious, you have even made me up my game! Thank you for all your happiness, enthusiasm and love for the outdoors from Wiltshire, England.
Woww....so many varieties of pumpkin. Fairytale variety and the smallest variety that Benjamin was picking are my favorite. Loved the video. 👌😊❤
??? Decorating at your moms??? Laura, this is amazing and they’re all beautiful pumpkins! I never knew there were so many varieties...OH,maybe a pumpkin cooking video?🎃🧡🎃
Perhaps I missed it but I was wondering if they’re all edible or if some are really only decorative
Wow, what a harvest for your first year out there. Love that Benjamin was so excited also. All of them are my favorites. Can't wait to see how you decorate with them. Stay safe, stay well.
Awesome enough to watch twice! Cinderella are my favorite for the hull-less seeds! I’m watching twice because our yard guys weed whacked my pumpkin vines 3 weeks ago and they didn’t recover. I will just live vicariously through y’all! Blessings, Vicki🌸
Wow! 🎃 My favorite without a doubt is 'Porcelain Doll' 💓
🎃 yey!! Watching from the Philippines.
What a lucky little boy❣️Not many can grow up with their own private pumpkin patch, good job mama and dad 😍👍👏🏼 I love the gooseneck looking ones 😄
This was my first year growing pumpkins and I was just as excited as you are for harvesting. I planted 2 plants (no name on tag) and ended up with 16 pumpkins! Had problems in beginning with lack of bees. Watched a video on hand pollinating and it worked. My 6 yr old granddaughter came to visit and said to me “oh Nonnie, the bees came and pollinated your pumpkins, look at them!” I then showed her how to hand pollinate them and so she did it herself. Of course she was very happy to watch them grow! These were by far the most interesting plants I planted. 🎃
Good Evening from Melbourne Australia !! ..🤗🇦🇺😷
Congratulations! I could already hear your mom’s voice “oh my!” Well done y’all!
Hi Laura - Your happiness is contagious. I have a very small garden and you have me planting as much as possible in the existing garden beds as I'm too old to dig and maintain new beds. Your potted plants make it easy. I have doubled my pot collection since watching you. My husband just looks at me every time I buy more plants and asks me "where are you putting theses ones". Love from Australia.
Yes I'm excited for my son to fully understand and experience things, he will be two tomorrow pls God, so excited for Christmas.
Towards the end of this one I will know what I need in my garden next year♥️
Suggestion: plant seeds in a shortest date of maturity to the longer dates to maturity at the the other at the other end. That will help at harvest worry.
Just love all the different colors, shapes and textures of the pumpkins and squash. But Benjamin was the cutest pumpkin in the patch! 😊
I work in a greenhouse/farm. This year is a FABULOUS crop since our weather was perfect for pumpkin growing! We seeded 26 acres full with over 30 varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds!! Life is good on the farm, huh? Thanks for sharing your harvest!
Amazing production. Can all of those be eaten. Love the flat ones. Nothing better than a good squash.🍁🎃
Hi Laura! Would you be able to tell us where you got each variety? I had a few that you did and mine don't look like yours at all ☹
😍😍😍😍
This is AAAAMAZING! This is my first year growing pumpkins and squash as well! I'm still waiting for one pumpkin, no clue what kind- but it was the only fruit on a 20 ft vine! Its gotten to be over a foot long so far, and still growing!
Out of curiosity, bc I know I don't have the space for your haul, but how much square footage do you think your patch took up? Next year I will know more, and have more variety- but it will take up my entire backyard 😅😅😅
Benjamin is one lucky little guy. His very own pumpkin patch. I can't wait to see how you decorate with them.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I felt like I was right in your pumpkin patch with you as I saw your excitement build. Your videos of something to look forward to watching. Thank you for educating, inspiring, and letting us live vicariously through you when we might not have space to plant a big vining crop. Just like Benjamin I would squeal too “ Pumpkin patch!”
"I did see three black widows." And, I'm out of the squash planting game. No wonder you didn't let Benjamin among the vines too long. Can you discuss this... are black widows common in your area? Are they attracted to squash? What did you do with them after you found them? I know you were the president of the arachnid club at school so we expect a full report. BTW - I think if I saw ONE in a lifetime I would die!
Where did you order your seeds from? I’m planning a big pumpkin patch for next year.
She made a video dedicated to all the seeds she was planting. The source is there.
Such a sweet memory with Benjamin and you. His own pumpkin patch 😊
Love how excited you get in every project. My favorite pumpkins are the Cinderella’s type love the white, blue and pink. Can’t wait to see you decorate of fall and use all your pumpkins. 🍂🍁
This is beautiful!!!! Love all the color and shape variety! Question: how do you deal with squash bugs? I have tried growing pumpkins for years with no luck.
www.almanac.com/pest/squash-bugs
The squash bugs always get to mine too 😔 I'm thinking about INTENSLY planting some marigolds, basil, and other things that are thought to repel pests, about 1-2 months before planting the Squash, and THEN planting them, and seeing if that helps to repel them and also "hide" the scent of them.
Creatively Candace great idea!! thanks!
We're having a Charlie Brown moment.
If I get 4 pumpkins I’m happy
Pick just ONE favorite? So hard as they are all so fun. Flat stacker and Porcelain Doll. “Pumpkin Patch!!!” So cute! So happy for you!
I'm watching you every time~
I hope you are always happy,,,Thank you!^^
Loved seeing Benjamin make his piles, and tossing the pumpkins to Aaron! All those beautiful squash and pumpkins from a piece of ground that was riddled with weeds and gophers just a few short months ago. I really like the variety and I think that the Flat Stacker and Cinderella are my favorite. The only thing that I did not see in the variety is the knobby kind.
Love it! Do you have to deal with rodents snacking on your crops?
Squirrels feast on mine every year :(
I have garden shrews who loved my tomatoes and cucumber 🤨 😎🇫🇷❤️
The Connecticut Fields are absolutely gorgeous - they look like the perfect carving pumpkin! Someday I am going to have a pumpkin patch like this ☺️🤞
Love the porcelain doll and flat stacker. So beautiful and striking. I’m not even a pumpkin person... or I wasn’t a pumpkin person. I am now
Laura harvests pumpkins and squash - I want to try growing all of them; Laura unboxes succulents - I want all of them; Laura harvests peppers - I want to try growing all of them; Laura tours dahlias - I want to try all of them ... LOL
Right - I feel like my daily gardening often reflects what Laura is doing/trying/planting!
The Fairytale/Musquee de Provence will continue to change color and ripen as the winter goes one. One of my very favorite for winter soups!! Absolutely stunning and deliciously sweet 😊
Who doesn’t enjoy a good pumpkin harvest 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I learned several years ago, that handling pumpkins by the stem causes rot at the stem, so picking up and moving pumpkins by the bottoms really helps. I accidentally tested this a number of times and it is so true.
