Your squash are beautiful, but I am salivating over all of the squash blossoms! Yumm!
Thanks so much! 🙂
If you're new to growing squash, pay attention to the knife he's using, with the serrated edge. That will save you a lot of hassle over a smooth edge blade when harvesting.
I always watch your videos , reach the end of them and realize I have to watch it again because I just get mesmerized by the beauty of your garden and forget to listen to what you are saying!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words… I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Yummy!! I love all varieties of squash
Me too!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to film and edit this. Those are some bangin squash.
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
I grow them in New Zealand and they do really well in summer. I slice them up finely and saute them in butter as a vege and with bacon and eggs for breakfast. I have used them in home made soups and stews. You can grate them and make them into fritters, add them to canned sweet corn for fritters - even add some grated cheese to the fritters.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
Beautiful gardens, your water fall and pond look so inviting! Your flowers are so beautiful and vibrant!!! Patty pan’s growing in my garden for 1st time can’t wait to try them.
Wishing you all the best with growing your patty pans, Marcea! Thank you for your comment, and have a wonderful day! :)
what a lovely channel
Thank you! 😊
I grow them every year. Slice into circles just like you'd slice a tomato. Dip in egg and then in mixture of corn meal and flour. Use a lot of salt and pepper, and then fry them in oil in a skillet! That's the best way in my opinion. Try it out!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your recipe!
My grandma used to dice them and add some diced onions. Mix up a thick batter add it and some salt and pepper probably some garlic and make a small pancake. I was small don't have any exact measurements for it. She probably didn't either but I liked them. Growing some now and looking forward to trying it myself 🤣🤣👍
I love these squash. I think the resemble flying saucers . Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome Melissa and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Thanks for the video Fred! I so can't wait for my first harvest of this adorable pie-shaped squash!
+Marlie M. you’re welcome and thanks for stopping by and sharing and I hope you have a bountiful garden season… I hope you enjoy your squash!
I finally bought some of these and I love them. I was wondering how prolific they are and you showed me. Beautiful harvest.. thanks always enjoy your videos...
Thanks for sharing
Love this video, growing these myself right now. Very excited to harvest. Thanks again for all the great info
You’re welcome Christy and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Your garden is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your encouraging words!
In my opinion the taste of a patty pan is far more superior than a zucchini. Nice harvest.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
Interesting looking vegetable
I would be interested seeing a video on cook patty pan squash.
I slice them thinly and saute in butter, or I chop and add to stews, or make cream soup with them, and I grate them and turn into fritters with cheese added.
Thanks for the video I know it's an older one I am growing these and looking for more recipes love your videos 🤠🦋🦋🦋🦋
You’re welcome Lilly and I hope you have a wonderful day!
I love them pickled
I have 4 of these squash plants in my garden here in Columbia County, Wisconsin. They are Peter Pan squash, cousin to the Patty Pan, but as you can see they stay light green. Their flavor is different than the Patty Pan, as the Patty Pan tends to have a nutty flavor. The Peter Pan resembles more a Zucchini or a Kohlrabi in flavor. We sauteed them and they've been good, maybe a bit bland. Grilling them with olive oil and Parmesan is my next experiment for cooking the Peter Pan squash :-)
hi,such nice seeing into,helpful and interesting,from how many plants have you harvested these 7 squash,
Two plants!
Where did you buy the basket?? You really have a beautiful garden!! And I always like your videos!!
I just asked my wife where she got her basket and she said that was a long time ago and she really doesn’t remember… Sorry!
What a beautiful garden!!! What fertilizer and pest control do you use on your squash? I think the party pan should be harvested a bit smaller for tenderness, I slice them and stir fry them with other garden veggies, they're very good, had a nutty flavor
Thank you… I use alfalfa pellets as a fertilizer that I apply early in the season and a couple times during the growing season…I haven't had to use any type of pest control on my squash…Thanks for stopping by and sharing and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Thanks, I had fun growing these this year, but they only yelled about 2 per plant.
You welcome Linda and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Maybe look into hand pollinating them
That's the biggest patty pan I've ever seen aha. I only see the mini ones around here.
+TUBESTEAKNIG they certainly were an interesting vegetable to grow… Thanks for stopping by commenting and I hope you have a wonderful day!
They are delicious fried Tempura style.... I'm lucky to get any when I make them.
I am going to make fritters from the next batch. Are eggs included in your diet?
Thanks for stopping by and commenting… for me learning about nutrition has been one big learning curve…I found out a couple years ago after doing a lot of research how harmful eggs were for us human beings… here's an article I thought you might find interesting to answer your good question… www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2005nl/march/050300pueastereggs.htm I stopped eating eggs about five years ago… I hope you have a wonderful day!
Not sure where in PA but I’d love to come film your garden for you!
When you're transplanting can you bury the steam a bit, similar to tomatos?
+Sasha G most transplants I try to plant the seedling level with the top of the soil… Certainly tomatoes you can bury them a little deeper… Thanks for stopping by and commenting and I hope you have a wonderful day!
They are not watery like zucchini and hold together and stay firm better when cooked. They don't turn into mush.
I just watched this video and I was planning on planting patty pan squash. Since I'm an urban gardener I use grow bags. Do I plant just one seed per grow bag or can I squeeze in 2 in a 15 gallon bag
Hi Raizel, that’s a good question, if it was me I would probably just plant one seed per grow bag so there would be plenty room for root growth and for the leaf foliage to spread out, or you could do an experiment and put one seed in one bag and two seeds in another bag and see how they both do. I hope this helps and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Nice Fred, they sure take up a lot of space.
Thank you…they do take up a lot of space and I was thinking about growing them in some larger containers next year!
Grow them vertically! Saves a lot of space!
Does anyone know if these need to be pruned? Or has anyone tried growing them vertically
I am growing them in my fall garden now. I planted from seed about two weeks ago and they have sprouted and started taking off.
I am growing these vertically in grow bags since my husband won’t let me churn up his beautiful grass in the back yard.
Thanks for the video sir. Im growing these as well - I have some yellow smaller ones, but there is a also a few large ones that haven’t turned yellow yet (similar to the ones in your video) I was waiting for the larger ones to turn yellow but after watching your video, I think I will harvest them. What’s the difference between the two? I’m confused because I got them from the same seed package
A mixed pack, mine was mixed and I got white and yellow (:
@@rapter1773 my question was for Farmer Fred. Not you kid
I have many of those growing in my backyard along with pumpkins. Did you say they need sunlight? And they should be 2"?
They should require at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight.
@@PlantSmartLivingNOW I am so glad I'm getting advice from someone that knows what needs to be done. Thank you! 😊
Hey Fred, what part of Pa. are you in?
I live in Harleysville Pennsylvania!
I'm not sure your still doing videos? Can you grow Patty pan vertically?
Hi Melissa, you certainly can grow patty pan squash vertically, you just may need to support them if they grow too large.
Thankyou Fred we are trying it tonight planted 4 of them
CAN YOU PLANT THEM IN JULY?
As long as you have at least two months of warm weather to grow them in you should be fine!
What variety is this?
Hi Vanessa, the variety is pattypan squash, it's also known as scallop squash, peter pan squash, sunburst squash, granny squash, custard marrow, custard squash, white squash, button squash, scallopini, or simply "squash". I hope this helps!
@@PlantSmartLivingNOW awesome, thanks for the different names that this squash can be called. Hopefully my recipe search will be alot easier. God Bless❤
You’re welcome!
@@PlantSmartLivingNOW thank you very much - I love growing patty pan varieties but I’ve not had much of a harvest in grow bags.
No, nothing like zucchini!! Eating them for over 60 years.
