One of the major reasons we garden is to get better varieties of the boring stuff carried in the grocery store. This type of content is awesome, and super appreciated. This helps me make lists of what kind of seeds to look for, and introduces me to different foods. I love this. Great stuff Jag!
I grew up on acorn squash. Last year, I got a big one from a farmers market, and it was by far the best acorn squash I have ever had. I saved the seeds. It was way better than what I have ever bought at the store. I'm going to try and grow acorn and lakota squash this year.
In a previous video Mr Daisy Creek Farm told us, squash will cross-pollinate each other, and he had to take great care to isolate to get seeds that reproduce true. So you might get the same squash or you might not depending on how close to other varieties the farmer grew it!
@@EvolutionWendyif I grow Lakota and Seminole this year and seed save,next years might be a cross of both? I’ve always wondered. If I hand pollinate that should help right? I don’t have a lot of space
Love, love, LOVE honeynut butternut squash. It is so dense and sweet, it's unbelieveable how tasty these squash are. If you have never grown them, give them a try, they are disease and pest resistant and fabulous tasting!
That's really good to hear! I just sowed some seeds and am growing them for the first time this year. I'm going to try growing one in a container and the rest will be on an allotment. Can't wait!
Squash is my favorite and you spoke about 3 I never tried. It is still time for me to grow one of them since I am growing several already. Thanks so much Jag I love your videos.
Excellent video. Thank you for posting it. The squash that I really enjoyed last year when I grew it was the white scallop squash. I was able to store it all winter long, my chickens enjoyed eating it, and I only grew three plants but it was growing right before the frost.
You always have such a nice show, I'm originally from Maine, the favorite squash there is a Burgess strain Butter Cup squash, the other is a Blue Hubbard, I really enjoy your channel, please keep up the good work !!
This is awesome. Thank you very much. So interesting. Im very excited to grow squash this year. I have a couple of these varieties. Another i have that i dont think you tried here is the kabocha squash. Cant wait to see what its like
@@RestorationAcresTN I am thanking him for this wisdom and knowledge on growing these vegetable. When I end something that is worth me watching and am learning new survival instructions, I say Amen
The squashes you called "Burgess buttercup" are definetely not buttercup squash. Buttercup squash (and Burgess buttercup) are in the cucurbita maxima specie, while the squashes you show are clearly cucurbita pepo squashes, and they do not have the typical shape of a buttercup squash. Maybe an error in seed pack. Nonetheless, it was a very interesting comparison between squashes. It would be useful to add information about how were cured and stored (specifically how much time) squashes post-harvest, since it can alter texture, sweetness and taste. Some are at their best few weeks after harvest and thereafter decline in quality (generally pepo squashes), others may need few months of storage to fully mature and develop their sweetness (sometimes the case with maxima squashes).
Hi Jag, do you have any experience growing chayote ? I just want to know if the original sprout died while transferring to soil, will it get another sprout by any chance. Please help me if possible. Thank you.
Yes you can, cross pollination will only affect the seeds produce from growing squash in closed proximity and will have effects on the plants grown form those seeds, not the current crop.
@@DaisyCreekFarms If you do not want cross pollination, do rows need to be apart greater than 8’ next to other variety? Sorry for so many questions but this was a good video. I like the idea of growing varieties for soups.
Only squash of the same species will cross pollinate. You can look it up to see what species your squash is so you'll know if you would have to give space. You can plant different species next to each other and have no problem.
This is the first gardening video I've seen describing the differences in flavor and textures of the various squashes- really appreciate the content!

How’d it go?
Thank you for bringing us beyond the supermarket to more flavors & textures we can experience! Bet these have more nutrients too. 🌱

Wow so many types of squash! I've only had acorn and butternut. Maybe I'll try to grow something different this year.

Good morning. Thanks for sharing the botanical names for these squash. We have #6 and 7 variety in Trinidad.
Thank you Jag. I didn't know there was such a variety of squash.

Can you grow 4 or so varieties in rows next to each other without cross pollination?
Yes you can, cross pollination will only affect the seeds produce from growing squash in closed proximity and will have effects on the plants grown form those seeds, not the current crop.
