Always so wonderful going into another growing season to enjoy another Old Alabama Gardner growing tip! Charles, your memories do live on! -Bob...
My mouth is watering! Never thought of frying it up like a potato.
Hi Michelle, and welcome to my videos. The way I show it in this videos is what I think the absolute best way to prepare it. This is what we call the traditional southern way to cook squash.

I have honestly always loved OAG's videos my favorite part is listening to him enjoy that food it is lip smacking good
My mom made a great meal that she called hamburger stew. It had hamburger, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, regular onions, and green onions in it.
Then she would put that over rice. It is so good!
Love your advice. So down to earth. Thank you!
Sounds good. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.

Yellow squash is one of my favorite things to eat. Both recipes looked delicious, but hearing the crunch on the tempura squash made me so hungry for some of that.
I love the planting tips you shared and I also love that vacuum pump on the freezer bags. I want one of those!! Thank you for another great video!
Thank you. The vacuum pump isn't available any more, the company quit making it. I can't even get replacement bags for it. There are other vacuum bag sealers available, but I haven't bought one.
That tempura squash looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
You definitely have a green thumb,you do great explaining and showing to garden.
Thanks for visiting
I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this video. 🧡Crook neck is my all time favorite squash.🧡 I simmer mine in water, then lightly sauté in butter; serve with blonde spaghetti, a little green Chile and cheese, a crispy pork chop and homemade tortillas!🧡 Love from New Mexico!🧡‼️
Sounds like good home cooking. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
Man oh man! Why do I always watch your videos when I'm hungry and it is too late to eat? Thank you for thinking ahead and bringing us through your process. Blessings to you and your family this Holiday Season!
Hello LBTF and welcome to my videos. Yes, to make a "Start-To-Finish" video takes planning and time.

Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brenda, yep it was/is delicious. Thanks for commenting on this video.

What a wonderful tip for cooking the more ripe squash in tempura! Thank you for sharing, I'll certainly be using that recipe this year
Hello MWM, this is one of the ways I like squash to be cooked. Thanks for stopping by.
OAG
Smart man ! taking his health in his own hands 🙌 so he doesn’t have to see them Dr !
excellent video.now, if every one grow, cook and eat like this then the world will be different.thanks for sharing.
Yes, I agree.
OAG
I love these 'how to' videos of yours, Mr. C!
Hi Carrie, I hope all is well with you. So far it has been a hot summer, hotter than last year. How is your garden doing? Thank you for commenting on this video.
C.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Hello folks, thank you for watching my videos.
OAG
I'm from and currently live in Alabama. I've been waiting to purchase my home so that I can fully dive into gardening. My mother and grandmother are awesome gardeners this video just put me over the edge.
Btw; those meals are true Bama dishes. So hungry right now.
Hi Erica and welcome to my channel. Are you in the Dothan area? I have friends with the last name of Goodson, who are from the Dothan area. And you are right, cooking squash this way is old southern style. I just finished making a pan of cornbread and some beef vegetable soup. And its good! I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses. Thanks for commenting.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener :-) No, I'm from the Mobile area, the climate there is great for gardening. I live in Fultondale now.
I've done my share of balcony gardening over the past years but it's just not the same.
I have cooking in my soul and it wants to use the freshest and healthest foods available.
Your channel resparked something in me I thought was fading. Thanks.
Erica, thank you for your encouraging words, that my channel sparked something in you to make you want the freshest and healthiest vegetables you can get. The next best thing to growing your own is to buy organic produce and prepare it at home. The more you can avoid processed food, the healthier you will be. Almost all processed foods, frozen diners, packaged foods, colas, fruit drinks and canned foods have way too much sugar in them. We all need to cut out the sugar from our diet and avoid GMO foods Thanks for watching my channel.
OAG.
Very good OAG! Thank you.
Hello and welcome to my channel. I can see by your name that you are of Japanese ancestry. My wife is from Okinawa, Japan. We grow many Japanese types of vegetables, such as, Bitter melon (The Japanese name is: Goya), Daikon, Japanese eggplant, and various greens. I have many videos on those vegetables.

OAG, my young son asked me to grow yellow crook neck squash this year, so that's what I did. I used Azomite for the first time and what a difference! I can't wait to try the tempura squash. Thanks for the great videos and recipes.
Hello James and welcome to my channel. *_I invite you to subscribe and watch_* as the summer growing season continues. Wonderful for you and your son. Squash are a good vegetable and easy to grow. Azomite adds minerals back into the soil and produces better tasting vegetables. Thanks for commenting.
OAG
Very interesting and informative information.
fantastic footage !! fantastic looking recipes !! thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences and as always happy gardening !!

Oh my goodness. That is brilliant! There is no way to batter and fry squash after it's frozen because it is so mushy. Do it before! Who knew?!? I would have never thought of that. Brilliant!
Hello TN girl! I hope you are doing well tonight. I love squash and can hardly wait until it grows this spring.
OAG
I Love that you show how to grow vegetables but also how to cook them afterwards!
Am I talking with Mrs Alderman or T? I have found that most folks like to see things to a completion (start to finish). But it really gets to be a challenge to keep the videos under ten minutes. I see that you are going to be a guest on Two Family Homestead soon. *_I will be a guest on Two family Homestead on 18 Sep, at 9pm EST, love to see you there._* Thanks for watching my videos.

It is!
Oh boy oh boy at 7:50 you got me wanting to put my hand through the video and help myself to your plate! My grandmother always egged and breaded hers with with flour or home Made bread crumbs. She always cut them in the circles and the sticks too, and the chunks she added to soups, stews and fresh salads
Thank you (K). I like good country food.
OAG
Very good teaching video!
Thank you Debbie. I try to make videos that will help you grow some of your own vegetables. Thank you for commenting on this video.
OAG
My mom LOVES fried zucchini so she'd probably like your squash. It sounds good and crispy!
Kim, yellow squash is a little stronger than zucchini, but both are good. And it is crispy, that is part of what makes it good! Thanks for commenting.
OAG
Another great video, thank you...
Thank you BL, when I begin harvesting these I will make a video of how I cook with them.
OAG
I love your videos sir. The way u format the steps to explain it and show how to do the steps helps alot.

I don't always grow everything every year either. I just don't have time to take care of it all. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
The tempura recipe looks good! I went bonkers and planted more squash this year so I have to keep my eyes peeled all the time. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Hello and welcome to my channel. *_I invite you to subscribe and watch_* as the summer growing season progresses. Squash is like that either you don't have any or you have it all over the place. Thanks for commenting on this video.

Well this looks wonderful. This is my first year growing Desi Squash. I like the abundance it produces and its manageable :) Thanks for sharing
Hi Opal and welcome to my channel. I have not heard of Desi squash, but I will look it up. Thanks for commenting.
OAG
I tried to grow squash a few years back and then dang stink bugs ate them alive! So I tried again the following year and I added a few "throw away" plants decoys if you will. I planted them and let them get going a week or so and then I planted the ones I was hoping to get fruit from several feet away. Maybe only 8 ft or so. It worked pretty darn good. The squash bugs destroyed the decoys but I got lots of squash for me! LOL
Love your videos as always and I can't wait to stand long enough to try that tempura. About another week and I'm frying something for sure!!! Hahahaha
Love and hugs!!! 💕 Lisa
Lisa, I am happy that you are healing well. You did a good trick if planting a crop for the bugs and one for you. Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!

Very appetizing, squash is hard to beat......It seems to taste better in the winter! Great Job Mr. C. on the recipes and video is very informative! Thank You!!
Hello DW, hope you are doing good! I have been trying to find a way to freeze squash so it still tastes good later and I may have just figured it out. Thanks for commenting.

OAG!!! I can't wait to try this squash :) I would think we would be harvesting some soon!! Thank you for sharing - Mike
Hello Mike. This kind of squash is a little different in taste than zucchini. Actually I like this one better than zucchini. Let me know when you harvest some and try it. Thanks for stopping by.
OAG
You are such a great cook! shared to Pinterest and Facebook :) Its 9pm and Im hungry again! :)
HI RM, I think it is good when a man can cook.

Great idea to split the over grown ones lengthwise!
Hello BB, thanks for watching this video.
OAG
You are welcome! And of course I shared it too. Have an awesome day Mr. C ! It is hot and humid here in Georgia. Hope you are having a bit of relief from this sweltering heat and humidity!
Thanks BB, but no relief here. Actually its getting hotter as the week goes on. But I work in the early morning and again in the late evening. I'll send you an E-mail.

Thank you!
Hi Sarah, are you growing squash? Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
We didn't have luck this year. But I'm trying tempura w squash tonight!
Great! After you try it come back here and let me know how you liked it.
OAG
Those are some delicious looking recipes. My mom used to pan fry squash with onions and a little garlic powder. She didn't use flour or cornmeal so, the squash would be a little too soft for me. I am going to try to batter it first like you did and see how that turns out.
Mama T, hello and welcome to my channel. *_I invite you to subscribe and watch_* as I upload more videos dousing the summer growing season. many people don't lim squash if they are too mushy, but this way it is more crispy, so perhaps you will like it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Well done again Charles. The squash vine borers cut my squash season short this year. I may try again in the fall. Best wishes Bob.
Morning Bob, yes, squash vine borers are a problem for everyone. I planted some more squash seeds yesterday. Thanks for stopping by.

Squash fries looks great
Thanks
Also I am having boarows killing my plants
Trying the aluminum foil, might been to late for my first crop , hope it works on my second crop.

I am Russ Hancock's grandson, Austin. Kathy is my mom. 👋🏼
Hi!
OAG
Hi Charles, Thank you for making and sharing this video. What do you do to control vine borers? All of my squash and zucchini were destroyed by vine borers and pill bugs (also called as rolly polly).
Hello Aparana, I hope you are doing well. Squash Vine Borers (SVB) are very difficult to control. Some people say you can control them with a spray called Sevin, but I don't like to spray with a poison spray. The little Pill Bugs don't really cause any harm to your squash plants, they only eat dead plant matter. Thanks for commenting on this video.

Love your videos and Miss living in Alabama
Hi Wanda and welcome to my channel. Its hot now in Alabama! About 94 degrees today and supposed to get hotter later in the week. I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses and then the fall season. Thanks for commenting. Where do you live now?
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener North West Florida, about twenty eight miles from Alabama line (Florala Alabama)
Wanda, I was overseas (in the Army) with a man from Florala, his name is: Ed ???? ( I have forgot his last name), but he was a dentist in Florala. I'll think of his name sometime when I am not trying to remember it.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener I was born in Florala as was my Mother
Wanda, I think I remember the man's name. I believe it was Ed Holly. He later became a dentist at Florala, AL.

Nice video😳
Hello Alyssa and welcome to my videos. Thank You! *_Thanks for subscribing! Please share my channel on all your social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc Thanks for watching_* OAG
Yes I will
Okay, I thank you very much! Do you have a garden?
OAG
Hi, OldAlabamaGardener, I love how you set up your garden! How long did it take from seed to harvest? Also, what time of year did you start? I'm in San Francisco and was wondering if they could grow in cool foggy climate. Also, do you ever bake, broil or grill your squash veggies? I don't do any frying. BTW, decades ago, I learned the secret to making the tempura super light was to put ice cubes in the tempura batter (not long enough to get it runny, though), and once it hits the oil, it will sizzle up! Maybe you'll let me know if you try it. Thanks for this and all your videos!
Hello Pat, I usually start seeds inside the house in late March or early April. Yes, I think this squash will grow in San Francisco. I do sometime broil squash, especially on my BBQ grill. Thanks for the tip on making lite tempura batter with ice cubes. Thanks for comment on this video.
OAG
Mr. OAG, You sure have a green thumb.
Hello Tim, thank you but it is just that I have years of experience.
*_Thanks for watching. Be sure you are subscribed so you won't miss future videos I upload_* _(OAG)_
So glad I found your channel! Canning tomatoes tomorrow and following your video on that. Wish I could find something on water bath canning baby limas.
Maria, please don't can baby lima butter beans in a hot water bath, if you do the jars will likely spoil and if you eat them, you will be very sick or may die. Which kind of tomatoes are you canning? If you are canning the newer types you should put some lemon juice in the jar because the newer tomatoes do not have the acid that the older varieties do. Please reply back here and tell me that you read this and understand what I am saying.
OAG
Now that I have given you a warning, let me say welcome to my channel. I appreciate you watching and commenting on my videos. And I am happy that you are canning, but you must do it in a safe way.
OAG
I have German Johnson, Better Boy, Big Boy and one other variety. I assume it's ok to mix them (?) As for the limas, my neighbor as said she will pressure can them for me after I get the jars ready. Safety first, always, in everything I do.
Okay, the varieties you named are good for canning. Yes, you can mix them also. You can only hot water bath high acid foods such as tomatoes and tomato juice. All low acid food such as lima beans, green beans, and such must be pressure canned. Canning is great and it helps with the grocery costs. Thanks for letting me know that you are doing it safely!
OAG
Thanks for your videos thy are such a help what was the all natural fertilizer you made up if you dont mind sharing God bless
Hello Gail and welcome to my videos. The natural fertilizer is made up of three ingredients: 1 part Soybean Meal or Cotton Seed Meal (organic), 2 parts Bone Meal (Organic), and 3 parts Green Sand. I buy these at a local farm feed and seed store or my county Co-Op store. The Green Sand will be the only one that you might have trouble finding. You can order these online if you can't find them locally. The Bone Meal you might find at Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart.

OAG
Great information as usual! You starved me to death watching! Thanks for the info. I'm going to try the cornmeal mix on mine this year. I fry green tomatoes that way, why not squash?
Hello Diane and welcome to my channel. The cornmeal/flour is the way my mother taught me to cook squash, but I also like it with just flour. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
Why transplant into the larger pots? Why not sow directly into the pots and grow them up and then set them out into the garden? Learning a lot from you Mister, thank you.
Hello and welcome to my channel. You could do it that way. The reason I start in small blocks is the limited amount of room in my grow light area. Seedlings in blocks don't take as much room and then when it gets warm outside I move them to pots because my garden ground is not ready yet and the ground is too cold. It is my way of getting a jump start on the growing season. If you set plants in the garden, when the ground is still cool the plant will only sit there and not grow until the ground warms up. Thanks for watching my channel.
OAG
Got my squash going using your rabbit poop soup and it's looking great. 4 healthy plants full of blooms and small squash. I'm ready to plant transplant my cantaloupe to 5 gallon buckets. What do you suggest that I use in my soil?
In addition to some fertilizer, you might add some Azomite minerals. Please subscribe and tell all your family and friends to subscribe to my channel.

very nice information and recipes! I planted zucchini but did not get any as the male flower did not open and the fruits just turning yellow, there were a lot of fruits just not growing :( so I pulled it out to get a space for something else! Did you start your fall crop seed yet? TFS... Alice
Hi Alice, No, I haven't started my fall crops yet, it is still a little too early even for cabbage and broccoli plants. Greens will be even later. Thanks for commenting on this video.

I wish you could share it too; it llooks delicious! Great information from beginning to end. Your soil looks so fine. Do you till it?Thank you. P.S. Is that a photo of you and your wife on the fridge?
Hi Denise and welcome to my channel. *_I invite you to subscribe and watch_* as I upload more videos during the summer and fall growing season. Yes, that picture is of me and my wife, taken on our wedding day, 53 years ago. Do I till my soil? Yes, I till to loosen the soil and to keep weeds and grass from taking over my garden plants.

We've had vine borers like crazy here, up until now (late Aug./into Sept.). I think any squash down here with all this rain will have to be a Fall veggie for a while.
Hi N. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. Squash Vine Boers are a problem for every one. *_I will be a guest on Two family Homestead (Live show) on 18 Sep, at 9pm EST, love to see you there._* ua-cam.com/channels/1JhWUvQlBEK5N5Kj5yn4EQ.html
Thanks for watching.
OAG
Well, Thank God we didn't flood, but darn near. The apt. Mgr. had the good since to have all the drains cleared of leaves and debris, and I think that saved us. Most of the trees were sitting in ponds, and had we gotten hurricane winds, they'd have devastated the roofs. I'm very grateful, and always look for ways to give back. ALL lives matter!
Adding onions would be great!
Hello Jeanette and welcome to my channel. If you haven't already, I invite you to subscribe and watch as the summer growing season progresses. You are right, some onion in with the squash would add an extra layer of flavor to an already good dish. Thanks for commenting on this video.
OAG
hey old Alabama do you use garden lime thanks
I did a soil test and it showed that I did not need to lime my soil. So, my answer is: No, I haven't applied any lime to my garden. The only way you can know for sure is to do a soil test.
OAG
Can you grow squash in a bucket or pot? Do they need full sun or shading from other plants around it OK? I asked the shading question because my garden is quite small.
Yes, you can grow squash in pot. Fun sun is better but they can take some shade. Watch my videos on growing squash in a pot at: ua-cam.com/video/FdGxkaBLI_s/v-deo.html
Thanks
OAG
so I froze some without cooking. could I take it out and dredge it and fry it then cool it down and freeze it again? it's only been in the freezer a few weeks. we've had an over abundance of squash and zucchini this year.
Hello and welcome to my channel. When freezing vegetables it is important to either blanch or cook a little to kill the enzymes in the vegetable. It is the enzymes that cause the vegetables to get a off taste or flavor in the freezer. Yes, I think you could try a couple of your packages and see how well it works. The worst thing that might happen is it would turn to mush as you thawed it out. Thanks for asking that question. And thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
another try is to blanch the squash then drain then roll in your breding what ever you choose then lay on cookie sheets then freeze in single layer then bag then take out as much as you need and fry !! Thought you might want to try this !!
Also fry while frozen that way it does,nt get mushy
Sounds like a good idea.

They look delicious! We are rolling in yellow squash right now! I have been making sweet and dill squash pickles but now I have to try freezing some like you did! Thank you!
YUM! I didn't realize what heavy feeders squash are.
N. I might have over did it with fertilizer on these plants. It doesn't hurt them but it might be wasteful on my part. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello C. I kinda wondered because down where I live, it's so hot & humid, those plants would burn up. I'm about to plant another zucchini. For some reason, all my squash plant leaves got a yellow outline, and crispy. Thought it was a K+ deficiency, but Gary Pilarchik said his were doing the same. No bug problems, but lots, and lots of rain. I've had to feed them like crazy. Thought I over fed, but with Gary's doing the same thing, I don't know.
Hello N. I don't know about the leaf problem, it has gotten hot here also and my squash plants are just about finished. I have a few up behind the house that are still going. I am thinking about planting some more this week.

Yep!
Enjoy your videos . I have squash growing from seeds I saved. I would like to know if every flower bears fruit. Also is it true you can eat the flowers?
I have a lot of frozen squash that I didn’t cook ahead, will it be mushy if I try to fry it?
Hi Patti. The squash is mostly water, so it probably will be mushy. You might make it into a squash casserole with some bread crumbs, maybe some eggs and bake it. I love squash.

Do you save the seeds from the larger squash for next years planting?
Hello Doug and welcome to my videos. Yes I do save seeds from last year's crop of squash. You can only do this if the squash you are growing is an heirloom variety. If you haven't already, *_**I invite you to subscribe**_* and watch as I upload more videos during the summer growing season. Thanks for stopping by.

Live in west Georgia and love your Channel ..can you please tell me what type of fertilizer that you use..( I think you called it triple 13) and what is the brand name? Thanks
The fertilizer I use is from my local Co-Op Farm store. The brand name is: Co-Op. It is a commercial fertilizer, not organic. Your county probably has a Co-Op store. Which county do you live in? Any triple fertilizer, example: triple 10 or triple 8 will work, the numbers indicate the amount of the three basic fertilizers. If you were using triple 8, (instead of triple 13) then you would need to use a little more of it. You are welcome, I am happy to share my experience with you. Thank you for watching my videos.

I usually have volunteer zucchini but chose a different spot this year. I had bad germination direct sowing in hills. 1 of 10 grew. it ended up being a huge plant. I picked up 2 zucchini plants just to have some summer squash. them 3 plants have me drowning in it. I imagine you could do the same with zucchini as you're doing with yellow squash. they taste about the same to me. I've donated a lot of yellow squash and zucchini to my church maybe I'll freeze some. I thought about pickling some.
Hello and welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and watch as I upload more videos during the summer and fall growing seasons. I always germinate my seeds in small soil or grow blocks.
You can watch me make the grow blocks at: ua-cam.com/video/JcNDtfHY2rsT/v-deo.htmlhanks for commenting on this video.
