My grandmother accidentally started a pumpkin patch in her yard a few years ago. She didn't know what happened to her seeds or she either only meant to plant a few seeds and then when the fall came around she noticed wayyyy too many were growing than she expected and since she's the senator in Connecticut she has a mini event where she lets kids come and pick them from her yard so they don't go to waste!
Talking about seeds that accidentally grow, it reminds me of how we got random plants growing in our backyard. We lived in the countryside in Cambodia in the late 1990s. We didn't have tap water or a toilet and I had a habit of swallowing seeds so every now and then we would have different kind of plants growing in our backyard where I pooped the seed out. To make the matter even worse (or better), our house was right next to the only elementry school of our commune so random kids always left the seeds they ate from who knows where and they would ended up growing all over our fences like pumpkin and watermelon. It sounds digusting but very cool at the same time that we could help growing more plants by simply eating them and take a dump... However most of my friends would poop in the rice fields and the plants only ended up getting uprooted by farmers.
What i can observe in your videos is that you are enjoying so much and everyone in your videos are smiling and laughing like they enjoy themselves so much. Love from Philippines. Altough we do not have those kind of fruit in our country it's good to know how do they grow.
How Does it Grow? potatoes potatoes in a bucket you might think I'm crazy but I say bucket it's all the rage from Nashville to Nantucket potatoes potatoes in a bucket Yee haw
I'm kinda sad for the resources that go into pumpkins that won't be eaten. But then again there's also flower farms and lawns. I'll just think of it that way.
These videos are so interesting. I’m born and raised in New Jersey and never knew or could have guessed how many things are grown in this state, I knew cranberries did but there’s so much more grown here it blew my mind!
Aloha Nicole, I really enjoy your videos. They are very informative and your infectious enthusiasm adds to their enjoyment. Please consider doing a segment on coffee, which has been grown here in Hawaii for a long time, or perhaps even cacao, which has only recently been cultivated. Keep these videos coming.
Hello! And thank you for the lovely words. I would LOVE to do both coffee and cacao -- and I'd love to get to know more about how they grow in Hawaii. As soon as we can figure out how to get our little crew to the far flung places we want to go ($$$$!), we'll be on it. Thanks again for watching -- so glad you found our show!
I am growing jarrahdale, fairytale, and autumn buckskin for pumpkin puree/baking and cooking needs. I also have a regular orange one meant for carving/decoration. That one little seed isn't just capable of producing one big pumpkin... It can produce A LOT. My jarrahdale took over a huge part of my yard. We call it The Beast... One tiny seed produced a MASSIVE plant that is quite prolific and FULL of fruit. My others are producing quite a bit too, but the jarrahdale has been the most impressive.
I am from Trinidad and Tobago and we make pumpkin rice....it so so good. When I see how pumpkins go to waste for decorations it saddens me it's an excellent food with lots of fiber, and a complex carbs. Pumpkin is even put into delicious beans dishes such as stew redbean..etc, Trinidad Callaloo....has pumpkin in it.Our superfood.
Pumpkin Pie. An American classic that's been perfected in my family for generations. All throughout the holidays many variations of pumpkin pie are served at our family functions and each cook is famous for their version. The art of making pumpkin pie is a big deal and a great honor. Same goes for Lasagna.
Amazing Nicole...i feel so alive watching again and again your true food videos...its not only about the content and the music that goes with it...all perfect in the way you present it...just amazing...so lively becoz of you...GO, GROW, and GLOW will be the motto from now on.;-)Love You
These videos are such a pleasure to watch and so interesting. They're short on time but packed full of great information. The beautiful lady that's in them is a natural talent, she is a star in the making.
you should try Kolak! use pumpkin, cut it into small pieces, boil them with coconut milk, vanilla extract , small piece of salt and brown sugar, wait till its getting soft. Delicious i tell ya :)
I have to go to such extremes to protect anything in the cucurbits family. When I grow pumpkins for example, I have to use netting which can be a pain because the pumpkin vines sprawl out everywhere. I also use an organic product called Azasol.
Great video as usual. Reminds me of Japanese square watermelons, they are also sold grown for decoration only. They harvest them before they're ripe in order to be shelved for long periods of time.
I've grown pumpkins before but I was blown away by all the stuff I didn't know about them in this video, like that it was native to America and that it was a fruit! Thanks for the info
That's so cool. I've been to Duffield's farm so many times in my life. I never realized that it sold its pumpkins commercially like this. For anyone that goes to Duffield's farms, get their apple cider donuts. They are DELICIOUS!!!
WOW! I've been trying to grow pumpkin to eat and I thought it was supposed to be orange and when I saw u say it was supposed to be tan I was just surprised
Glad you're back with another video. They're always really interesting to watch. Have you ever grown cucamelons (Melothria scabra) which are native to Mexico? They are also in the Cucurbitaceae family; we have some in our school garden currently.
They were pretty simple to grow from seed. I've only shown them to my friends (16/17 yr olds) at school as I fear some of the younger children might pick them without me knowing. I have run the school garden for a couple of years now but everyone seems to enjoy learning about what we grow. I recently harvested sweetcorn and runner beans. I also have a herbaceous border and rockery which have looked pretty over the summer.
In my local New Haven Connecticut area, I have been looking for Culinary pumpkin as you mention in your video. And for my effort, I found a single of Stop & Shop in East Haven CT that only sold the Blue Hubbard in the very small size. Searching the Internet, I found that the Long Island Cheese pumpkin is only grown and sold in the 2 counties of Long Island, NY.
As always very informative, I always learn a little something. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I've been viewing almost all your videos. I'm almost up to date so this means you'll have to make some new ones soon.😉
I love your videos, you are very informative. But we need more info like how many times it needs to be irrigated. And when is the best time to plant it.
The pumpkins that are use for “can pumpkin”, my mom grows them and we make a simple pumpkin juice from it. Just shave off the outer layer and cut the flesh into bite size pieces. Boil it in water and add sugar. It’s so comforting during winter if you drink it hot.
This channel is super underrated huhu want more vids

Oh, that's cool!

This just brought so many memories living with my grandma when I was smaller

Thank YOU for the support!

Thank you of such lovely feedback!

Yes, someone else recommended that! I will definitely try it. Sounds amazing.
Indonesian, I guess?
cut banana and boil them together, cool it down then add small cut jack fruit. Taste even better!
My mother used to add eggs to the coconut milk before boil it
Don't forget about the grassjelly and kolang kaling
I love this series! Thanks for the great videos. :)
Thank YOU for watching!
Could you do a follow up with how they control pests for pumpkins like the squash vine borer, cucumber beetles, and the dreaded squash bugs?
Oh my goodness, those dreaded beasts! They get my zucchini every year. Absolutely, I'll put this topic on the list to do. Thanks!
I have to go to such extremes to protect anything in the cucurbits family. When I grow pumpkins for example, I have to use netting which can be a pain because the pumpkin vines sprawl out everywhere. I also use an organic product called Azasol.
Love these videos! Can you do one on figs?
Yes! They're on the list!
Can you please do longer episode and go more into details. We can't get enough of you here! ♥️
Cute (check)
Charming personality (Check)
Informative (Check)
Well produced (check)
I'm glad I found this channel.
I'm glad you did too! Thank you!!
I used to hand pollinate my pumpkins with a single male flower every evening when in season, for a much better crop.
Wow, that's dedication! Beautiful.
Every evening???
You aren't just in it for the farming are you?
cool! Thx for this vid. You have such an awesome job, working with harvesters, and learning-- How things Grow!!
I do!! I LOVE learning all this stuff as much as all of you!
Great video as usual. Reminds me of Japanese square watermelons, they are also sold grown for decoration only. They harvest them before they're ripe in order to be shelved for long periods of time.
I've seen pictures of those square melons, but never in person!
Me too, I've never seen one. They do fetch 500$ a piece and they only make a couple of hundred every year. But to be honest, I prefer the pumpkins!
I actually roast the seeds every time I buy a pumpkin for a snack during this time of the year. ^^ they actually taste really good.
I've grown pumpkins before but I was blown away by all the stuff I didn't know about them in this video, like that it was native to America and that it was a fruit! Thanks for the info
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Great job on another awesome video! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Stores should label each one like “Lokks good taste bland” “looks ugly taste good” specially tomatoes

Loved this video. I learned so much. It's good to find out that what we think of as more decorative squashes are edible. Have to change that mindset.
Yes! Thanks for watching, Nancy.
That's so cool. I've been to Duffield's farm so many times in my life. I never realized that it sold its pumpkins commercially like this. For anyone that goes to Duffield's farms, get their apple cider donuts. They are DELICIOUS!!!
Oh, man, I LOVE their apple cider donuts!!
How Does it Grow? Best donuts ever
Always great videos.

Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice Toss there! Thanks for the Info!
You're too kind. ;)
Love you true food
Finally! More more more! :P
Glad you're back with another video. They're always really interesting to watch. Have you ever grown cucamelons (Melothria scabra) which are native to Mexico? They are also in the Cucurbitaceae family; we have some in our school garden currently.
I've seen cucamelons but I've never tried growing them myself. Are they difficult? The school kids must love them!
They were pretty simple to grow from seed. I've only shown them to my friends (16/17 yr olds) at school as I fear some of the younger children might pick them without me knowing. I have run the school garden for a couple of years now but everyone seems to enjoy learning about what we grow. I recently harvested sweetcorn and runner beans.

My pumpkin sprout during November
Fantastic !!!keep the good work.
Thank you!!
Some people in my country eat the tender leaves of pumpkin plants. Strange? I love pumpkin slices.
Wow, I had no idea the leaves were edible!
As always very informative, I always learn a little something.
I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I've been viewing almost all your videos.
I'm almost up to date so this means you'll have to make some new ones soon.😉
A little seed growing into a pumpkin is pretty cool, but redwood seeds are about the same size, and I think it's a lot more astonishing xD
I have always liked butternut squash for pumpkin pies. Interesting info about the real pumpkin in canned pumpkin.
Pumpkin/squash's flower is edible and It actually tastes good!
I love your videos!
Thank you!
So happy to see new episodes!
So happy to have you watching them!
Pumpkin throwing looks like a good workout, lol
It really is! ha!

Yes and yes! Thank you -- and her! -- for watching!
I'm loving this channel...really 💗👌👍
I love your videos, you are very informative. But we need more info like how many times it needs to be irrigated. And when is the best time to plant it.
your doing gods work
People who work on farms and fields are the most wholesome and friendly people on this planet regardless of their nationality.
awesome video!!
Thank you!!
The pumpkins that are use for “can pumpkin”, my mom grows them and we make a simple pumpkin juice from it. Just shave off the outer layer and cut the flesh into bite size pieces. Boil it in water and add sugar. It’s so comforting during winter if you drink it hot.
So nice & feeling amused !!
In Indonesia we plant the latest kind of pumpkin. Yes it has much more inside. And taste sweet. We called it labu
the cinderella and fairytale pumpkins are my favorites
Your miracle voice is so calm🥀
In my country, baked pumpkin seeds are a snack. We most often sprinkle salt on them to "enhance" the flavor.
I love your videos so much ❤️❤️
I live near Sewell, and this farm has amazing produce.
Awesome! Still binge watching. My 60 yr old brain is learning, every episode. Thanks!😊
we in India eat it and it's awesome when it's made sweet which my mother makes😍😍😍😍
Sounds like she knows what she's doing! ;)
I like it sweet too. My mom's sweet pumpkin curry with meat tastes so good! 😊
Thanks for another great tour!
this is educational,..i love it! more please? :)
You got it!
