For those asking how we eat these: Often, Rachel cuts them in half or into smaller pieces, leaving the skin on, takes out the seeds, then roasts the rest in the oven, flesh-side up, adding butter and salt. That's a really nice side dish. She also makes casseroles with cheese and pumpkin, and sometimes mixed it with ground beef and cheese. When we have more pumpkins than we can eat, some of them also go to the pigs and are thus converted into bacon. She is going to be speaking on her home cooking and the wide range of produce she uses in the kitchen at SCRUBFEST III - hope to see you there! LINK: thesurvivalgardener.com/scrubfest-2024/
My squash and pumpkins are running late this year. Some bug kept eating them off when they came up, so I kept planting more seeds. They are finally up and growing great! Just hope the freezes hold off til late October so I get a few anyway!!
Hello Good Family, I had no pests till yesterday, then an implosion of flies appeared. I turned all my chickens loose and told them "go for it! get the bugs, eat the weeds!" they followed my plea for help and got to work. God bless my critters.
Lovely pumpkins. We still have issues with squash bugs, so we didn't intentionally grow any this year. "compost" squash just began flowering, so I don't think we'll get any fruit this year. One good thing: we did get some crosses last year. I am baking one of the two that lasted this long. They both are heavy, and the one in the over smells really good! It kept almost a year! Yep, saving THOSE seeds.
I had one huge harvest of pumpkins that sprang from a single pile of pig poop 😆. That was an explosive enthusiastic pumpkin party of volunteers! I wonder if the journey through a pig's digestive tract does something very special for pumpkin seeds 🤔😊 🎃
To stop deer depredations stuck electric fencing posts around the garden. On those we put a single strand of clear fishing line. It is said deer cannot see it in the dark. Worked.
@@quirty864 I have some electric fence, and it works for a garden inside it. But I have a few acres, and spread the seed all over. These didn't make it.
I have grown exactly 2 pumpkins in my life. One that a coyote ate right off the vine and left a pile of coyote 💩 right next to where the pumpkin was. Then last year I grew the most adorable baby boo white pumpkin in a greenstalk. Which I proudly placed on display on the Bombay chest in my entryway immediately after harvesting because I didn't know that they have to cure... and it rotted within 2 weeks and left a nasty stain on the vintage obi that I was using as a decorative runner. My daughter brought it back from her studies in Kyoto. So, fail, fail, triple fail.
I'd love to see a video about the different ways pumpkin can be used in meals... the only thing I've ever known that sometimes uses pumpkin is pumpkin pie. What does it taste like in the different meals yall make, how often do yall use it, what's the BEST way to cook with it...?
Pumpkin flavored muffin, breads, pancake/ waffles and cookies. Cut pumpkin up like sweet potatoes and roast/ sautee like sweet potatoes. Add some cinnamon or honey. Soup. Smoothies with roasted pumpkin.
We often add pieces about 2" square as one of the vegetables in our chicken soup. You can bake them, and use many different combinations of seasonings, from sweet to savory. Baked pumpkin pieces with salt, pepper and butter is very simple but tasty.
hi David, i wonder if sitting the pumpkins on 2 or 3 sticks of bamboo cut and laid on the ground under the growing pumpkins would work to keep those worms away. p.s. we used to put pumpkins on bricks and plates and wood for a similar problem in Australia.
Oh, I am sobbing, being back in the land of Oz/Aus (Australia), I can no longer go to Scrub Fest, the best, most entertaining, informative and fun gardening show and venue for all the family!!!
Pickle worms... You are describing my gardening life😳. I have been inspired by your latest pumpkin videos and have been setting up the ground with my homemade compost. I will be planting a random tropical pumpkin, and a tropical z-word I am very excited about! I censured myself for you😆 Thank you for your videos! Florida, Zone 10
I was looking forward to a huge Seminole Pumpkin harvest in my first year on the homestead based on your last years performance. They looked like a million buck but the vines died back when the rains came after a small drought. My pumpkins are small. Hoping for fall bounce back. I love the small pumpkins roasted in the air fryer. Was hoping to put up a bunch of jars (cans).
I'm not sure about pickleworms but I know that vine borers try to overwinter in the dead vines. My lot is small so when I get an infestation I simply wont plant any squash, pumpkins, or melons for a whole season till the infestation is dead. If I had livestock I'd either let them graze that area or otherwise uproot the old vines and directly feed them to my animals. The great think about these vines in general is that the whole plant is generally edible and not just the fruit (I use the leaves when cooking sometimes) so using failed crops as forage is an excellent option if possible. Maybe this is a sign I should just accept fate and start rearing rabbits lol.
On my phone until you lifted up I did not notice it was a basketball. 😂Yay! a harvest video. Would love to know what Rachel makes with the seminole pumpkins that y’all really enjoy.
Many years, after a bountiful harvest of x... I've thought "nice to have those dialed in" never to be grown to that quantity again 🤷♀️🙏🏼 life's lessons
In my experience, once the pickleworms FIND YOU, it's all over. My garden was extremely popular with pickleworms, white flies, aphids... I could manage the cutworms but eventually the other bugs WON and now I just grow flowers. Yes, I used organic sprays and stuff. Florida zone 9B. If I had room for it, I'd plant loquats and mulberry trees instead.
I bought some raw bulk white pumpkin from the store and planted a few to see what they were and it’s got green camouflage looking skin on the pumpkin, I’m excited!!
@@jettyeddie_m9130 You might get a variety that is very abundant in seeds! Certain varieties have large open centers full of loads of seeds. Personally I prefer the ones with more flesh and fewer seeds, but there ya go.
2 years ago I grew pumpkins. They did really well, but I grew so many I just ended up cutting them up and burying them in the garden. The next year everything in the spaces with the pumpkin left overs did twice as good as the other areas.
We do a big Halloween haunt and have started growing lots of pumpkins here for that. I found miniature black and whites that grow really well and a bunch of other "spooky" full sized varieties. Pumpkins are so fun to grow!!
I have been reading your book Grocery Row Gardening, and I am very excited to start my own System. I live in mid-Alabama, and hope a lot of the things you do can parallel to the things i try. I also have your books Free Plants for Everyone and The Easy Way to Start a Home-Based Plant Nursery and Make Thousands in Your Spare Time. What do you recommend for my next book?
I grew a single Seminole pumpkin 2 years ago. I waited almost a year to eat it because it was an only child 😢...it was delicious! I was too distraught to even attempt a garden last year because even my Everglades tomatoes died. I only ended up with two handfuls. It's almost like something poisonous killed everything. We did have that freakish heatwave in April that year so...idk. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. Maybe I'll try a little something this fall. The 2 easiest crops to grow in Florida and they died. I'm still pouting. I've never had such a bad time growing anything before...
I live in Theodore. I never knew there was such thing as a pickle worm until this year. I haven’t had any cucumbers or summer squash due to vine borers and pickle worms. I have two honeyboat squash on the vine. One is covered with a scarf. The other with a mesh bag until it gets too big and needs a scarf. And I found one cucumber that is now in a mesh bag. Those pickle worms are something else.
Our pigs planted lots of pumpkins in Central Florida and then the weather and the pests wiped them out. Very sad. We wish we could attend the ScrubFest but we plan to have a Pumpkin Patch activity during that weekend. Maybe ScrubFest 4 will work for us.
I find that different pests, different weed species, different excesses come in waves even if I don't do more than hand pick. In the next year or so its way different.
I think if you made a patch and covered it with sand, and drop a perimeter of diatomaceous earth it would solve most of the pest issues and mold. I know many people don't want to do heavy modification like this instead of using no-till methods but generally not all habitat is good for pumpkins. if you get constant herbaceous growth and you're surrounded by trees, it will generate alot of moths and worms and you will probably get this type of pest issue every year depending on the conditions. a patch covered in sand or just bare earth should slow the worms down and help prevent mold i think
I tried growing Seminole and Halloween pumpkins this year and the stinkbugs murdered them so I gathered as many stink bugs as I could and fed them to my chickens
Your videos inspired me to try pumpkins again. This season I planted a LOT of moschata and argyrosperma squash/pumpkins: TN Sweet Potato, Cushaw, Seminole, Turkey Neck Pumpkins, Cuban Neck Pumpkins, Tromboncinos, and Butternut squash. Right now, with a good number still growing out in the pumpkin patches, I am at 830 lbs. I'm in SE Louisiana and my biggest producers were 236 lbs of TN Sweet Potato pumpkins off one vine (largest was 19 lbs), the turkey neck pumpkin vines have given me 42 so far (with nearly 20 still on the vine), and of course the nearly unstoppable Seminole pumpkin. I planted a variety of cushaw called Magic Cushaw from Southern Exposure Seeds that yielded multiple 15+ pound neck pumpkins. I have also seen pickle worms very recently, but only in one of the garden spots so far. I also had rodents go through my biggest garden and eat nearly a dozen immature pumpkins. Either way....my husband and I....plus the chickens/ducks/turkeys will have plenty of pumpkin to eat!
I consider losses to pests as a tithe to Mother Nature. Bugs have to eat too for a healthy ecosystem. The next year I try planting in a different location to see if I get a better yield.
Good question. Probably 10 or so per compost pile. Probably 100-120 seeds total, maybe a little more. Some of them we just threw a handful of pumpkin guts into.
This year I lost all my pumkin plants to vine borers (totally my fault I tried not burying the vines to fight the vine borers just to see what would happen... wellthey all died lol). Good news is I learned what happens if I don't bury the vines in my climate.
Don't think its coincidence you get worm infestation where the most pumpkins where, over abundance of one thing leads to over abundance of the thing that eats it, imbalances will be rectified, its just nature doing nature, not necessarily a bad thing.
I wonder if the possibility of pumpkin powder or flour could work? Any alternative to wheat flour would be be cool with such easy growing crops like Seminole. Just a thought. Or maybe even a marinade for a pumpkin steak type dish 😅 lol David has me jumping the gun too and I have zero pumpkins planted.. thanks for any information!🤙

My first question when I saw your video title was “what will you do with all that pumpkin”?!!
WOW😳. Leave it to you 🤪🤪 That crazy 🥰👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Curry. Pumpkin is amazing in any kind of curry medium with any veggies and meats.
pumpkin soup is amazing
My squash and pumpkins are running late this year. Some bug kept eating them off when they came up, so I kept planting more seeds. They are finally up and growing great! Just hope the freezes hold off til late October so I get a few anyway!!
What is funny is that David said "where are my ducks?" And the ducks started quacking in the background!!

When you and your daughter are on the skid steer it looks like just she is in it 😂😂😂
Me too…I thought, wow, that kid is a good driver! 🤣🤣😍
Yeah for a second I actually thought she was driving it.
In TN,. Everytime I roll over a pumpkin, it has a black widow spider under it. It pays to roll them over with your booted foot first. Great harvest.
Yes, we have found them here too!
The amount of food you've grown this year should be inspiring to all. The awesome camera lady's cameo was great!
Incredible haul! Next video you've got to bake 200 pumpkin pies.
Well done!! Glad for Rachel's explanation of poisons!
Lovely pumpkins.
We still have issues with squash bugs, so we didn't intentionally grow any this year. "compost" squash just began flowering, so I don't think we'll get any fruit this year.

0:22 I really thought this was a basketball ball lol!
It's the accidental pumpkins that always seem to do the best for some reason. I can't figure out why, but that's what I've seen many times.
Happy to see I am not alone with keeping a messy tally board for crop yields.
I just read the title and thought average DTG video😂😂😂
Yeah, he and his fans are becoming like a little cult, stuff that shocks outsiders is so normal for us we don't even react. XD

+100 for the piggy pumpkin video and Rachel cameo. The Good clan is growing and so is their garden. Thank you for all your hard work.

I'm jelous. So many pumpkins. I've planted a lot of seminole seeds, the deer ate most of the vines.
Absolutely agree on the poison.

Maybe soup..an ingredient for a mixed veg soup.. roasted..steamed.. I'm a newbie but sure its like butternut..
Curry. Add vegetables, meat, garbanzo beans, and coconut milk and lots of curry spices. So good, we eat it a lot in winter.
Pumpkin flavored muffin, breads, pancake/ waffles and cookies. Cut pumpkin up like sweet potatoes and roast/ sautee like sweet potatoes. Add some cinnamon or honey. Soup. Smoothies with roasted pumpkin.
Pumpkin soup can be excellent. Pumpkin in stews are good too. Or you can bake and mash with butter and salt as a side dish.

Thank you. Fun video! 😊🌱💚🌻🐝🐓
I make pumpkin bread with them. It's really yummy.
wow amazing
We live in a crazy world when you have to advocate for not eating poison.
I know, right?
We will see you at Scrubfest III 😊
I grew my first pumpkin this year! Definitely saving the seeds!
My wife and i were going to do a good pumpkin patch, we just had a heavy hailstorm that told us this is not the year for squash though, lol.
I love ALL David The Good videos!
Ya'll are a treat!❤❤❤❤
Love ur video thank for all u do
Great Video! What things did you use to make the compost piles and how did you get so much material to make compost piles?
Chicken bones and scraps, wood chips and yard/garden waste. It helped having a big lawn and lots of restaurant waste!
Nice work
Our pigs planted lots of pumpkins in Central Florida and then the weather and the pests wiped them out. Very sad.
We wish we could attend the ScrubFest but we plan to have a Pumpkin Patch activity during that weekend. Maybe ScrubFest 4 will work for us.

Wish I could grow even one pumpkin. Vine borers got 6 original vines, now I'm battling squash bugs to keep my last two vines.
Nice
Looking good.
Feed the world
make it a better place 🎃
You Rock ! Love your videos:)
I tried doing this in northern AL and the vine borer killed all of them. What’s the trick to not having them attacked by the vine borer?
👍 i wonder if kaolin clay (Surround WP) and or beneficial nematodes would help with the issues you displayed in this video?
Pumpkins!
Thanks David! Come join us for Holy Mass at Queen of Peace when your here for Scrubfest!
I plan to!
🔥🔥🔥
I find that different pests, different weed species, different excesses come in waves even if I don't do more than hand pick. In the next year or so its way different.
How big is your land? Your garden looks amazing. How long can you save a pumpkin and it still be edible?
My sugar pumpkins (c. pepo) must ave crossed with a neighbors Z-word so we've got some pumkininis growing or Zuchins, maybe...
I think if you made a patch and covered it with sand, and drop a perimeter of diatomaceous earth it would solve most of the pest issues and mold.

Would you be willing to sell/exchange seeds? We live in South Louisiana and would love to grow some of your varieties! Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering the same thing. I live about an hour, or so, south of DTG in Alabama

someday they may call you DavidSPumpkins
Can you release the chickens into the pickle worm-infested patch of pumpkins? Would they eat the worms?
Could I plant some now? Or would ‘winter’ hit before I get any (umatilla/eustis/ocala area)
It is pretty late - I would plant them in early March/late Feb of next year.

I consider losses to pests as a tithe to Mother Nature. Bugs have to eat too for a healthy ecosystem. The next year I try planting in a different location to see if I get a better yield.
My only question is why you haul your pumpkins in a Lime Buggy🎶🎵🍋🟩
I wonder if this is an example of "the law of diminishing returns".
Other than pies, how do you prepare the pumpkins, what
Recipes, do you have?
Soup (made with pumpkin or squash, little cream, so good!)
Curry!
Do you ever run into squash bug issues?
How many seeds were planted?
Good question. Probably 10 or so per compost pile. Probably 100-120 seeds total, maybe a little more. Some of them we just threw a handful of pumpkin guts into.
This year I lost all my pumkin plants to vine borers (totally my fault I tried not burying the vines to fight the vine borers just to see what would happen... wellthey all died lol). Good news is I learned what happens if I don't bury the vines in my climate.
pigs gotta eat same as pickle worms and ducks!!!
Damn I guessed 2 tons....
❤
Wow!! Amazing!
Have not seen pickle worms. Hope NOT to!!
Are you worried about cucurbit poisoning?
No, it is easy to identify. Taste is bitter.
And they have the nerve to call Jack Skellington the "pumpkin king"... 😂
Don't think its coincidence you get worm infestation where the most pumpkins where, over abundance of one thing leads to over abundance of the thing that eats it, imbalances will be rectified, its just nature doing nature, not necessarily a bad thing.
Are you going to talk about how you’re going to preserve them? I always jumped the gun and asked the question before before I watch the video. Sorry.😂
I wonder if the possibility of pumpkin powder or flour could work? Any alternative to wheat flour would be be cool with such easy growing crops like Seminole. Just a thought. Or maybe even a marinade for a pumpkin steak type dish 😅 lol David has me jumping the gun too and I have zero pumpkins planted.. thanks for any information!🤙
They'll last on a Counter upwards of a year as is I have a pumpkin from holoween of 2022 that's still good 👍
Yes so many times but the bees were on strike and didn't want to visit my flowers 🤨
Ahhh I see your bacon is vegetarian lol

What month. You plant3d them?
