Pumpkin & Squash Harvest (& How To Tell When Theyre Ready to Pick! Garden Answer Lisa: 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.

Hi from Portugal. I know that you will not be using any of these pumpkin seeds for the next year, but a video explaining how the process of saving the seeds works would be interesting. I know that being open pollinators next year the varieties will not be original, but for those who just want to use them to decorate it was funny to see the mixtures that could arise. Here in Portugal it is difficult to find so many varieties of pumpkins, and we don't have an online store like johnny seeds (at least that I know of, nor can we ask to receive anything from seeds outside the European Union due to our laws

I started two butternut squash seeds indoors this spring and planted them outside in late May and ended up with good healthy plants of another variety (they must have mixed up the seeds. They look almost like sugar pumpkins but more flat, squished. I was really looking forward to getting butternut. They are turning yellow and the stems are turning yellow also, not staying green like your pumpkins are.

Hello Laura, I hope you dont 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.

Isn't it dangerous to plant the edible pumkins next to the non edible ones because of the possibility of crossing them accidentally? I read somewhere that the toxins can get into the edible ones and you can't sepparate them by their look.
Maybe this comment can get some attention to protect your audience.

Hi Laura, Aaron and Benjamin! It was fun watching the 3 of you harvesting the pumpkins, and of course seeing Russel and Cheddar checking things out. I'm surprised you didn't grow the baby boos. I'd LOVE to see cooking videos using the different squash with recipes. Thank you for sharing!

This may be a really silly question, but does anybody know what you do with a patch for the following season? Do the vines die off and you rake them out? Ive only ever planted in pots but am very interested in expanding into a large garden eventually

Black Widows! Aye Carumba! How did you handle that so calmly. I can't grow pumpkins or squash except Butternut due to horrible squash bugs. But I may try again next year, it's been almost 5 years. I like the pink ones and blue ones the best.

Flat stackers and Connecticut field pumpkin are my favorite!
All of these are gorgeous! So much fun watching: ) glad Benjamin is loving your pumpkin patch! Cant wait for him to start carving his own.
