    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!

    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.

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.

    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. 🎃

    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 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.

    😍😍😍😍
    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 😅😅😅

    "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!

    Never thought pumpkin & squash harvesting would be so interesting & fun to watch. Awesome!! 😊😍

    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.

      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.

    So cool, I wish I had space cleared enough to do. That's funny about Benjamin. I watched a vide yesterday, I just happened on, I wasn't going to watch the whole thing but the 4 kids harvesting sweet potatoes were so cute, how excited they got, and how they were able to dig them up when mama couldn't get them out, it was just so awesome to watch future gardeners.

    Woww....so many varieties of pumpkin. Fairytale variety and the smallest variety that Benjamin was picking are my favorite. Loved the video. 👌😊❤

    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.

    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.

    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.
