Wow!! Speaking the word. What incredible gardeners and folks who know where their blessings come from..... Absolutely the smartest gardeners. Its done right and so productive. Beautiful marriage.
I love it, the fish planted with the squash just like the Native Americans taught the pilgrims to grow corn. Thank you great video.
That's right. I still do it that way. I'm Native American

Me and my brother have been preparing garden beds in the backyard to plant vegetables this spring. Love the excitement and knowledge I get from your videos.
You can do this, have a blessed day!
I agree with all the other positive comments. You do inspire me to garden more than I already do. Thanks for all your sharing. To God be the glory!
Finally I found a quality video. No Music I can hear birds singing in the background
This couple is the real deal
Hollis & Nancy are the best I've found! He got me using the black cow manure, this is my first time using it and I'm hoping I get the same results with my squash like they do!
3 or 4 wks ago, I stumbled upon your video, watched it, and got inspired. I saw an onion bulb in my kitchen and tried to plant it. On our nexr trip to the grocery, I was already looking for seeds I can plant in containers. It started with one pot, now I have more than 20 pots and a seed tray. Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration.😊😊😊
Don't stop or get discouraged you will learn and get results very soon i did the same
Great video, I'm so glad I found this channel! Thank you so much,I'm super excited about growing zucchini for the first time! Gardening is new to me but,so far it has been awesome!
I luv u guys!! I learn so much from your videos. My goal is to leave city life to go to the country and do what you do. ❤
That is a great goal! We did the same thing for many years. We practiced and developed our skill sets so when we got to our new homestead we could hit the ground running. We are still running!!!
I left the city to live on my great grandparents farm...so glad it wasn’t sold off. Started my first garden this year. I love it! Country>City
Thanks great! Congratulations..where is your farm?
I love how organized your garden is! Such neatness and it is inspiring!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️🐶
You and Nancy are by far my favorite growing channel! I could tell that by watching my the first video :) thank you for sharing your beautiful squash with us!
Great video love the intro and how you thank god for the food bless y'all
Thank you so much for watching! We are very thankful for all God has done for us 😇. Have a peaceful week
I just love your videos! They stay focused on the topic, and are super informative and demonstrative.
Thanks for the tip for adding LIME to cover fish. The kitty cats always dig up my fish no matter how I protect it or mask the smell. So thanks! Now I know.
Lime really helps the smell and the ph
Thanks so much for the video. I've been planning to set up a garden bed by putting a layer of fish down just like how you are doing it. So I'm glad to see you have so much success with it, it definitely inspires me to move forward with my plan.
+PeabodysParadise
Best fertilizer there is in my opinion. Be sure to cover your fish with garden lime
You two are adorable.
Thank you! 🥰🥰
You are so inspiring, I love your videos and my little vegetable garden is striving because of your tips. May God continue to bless you both.
So happy for you and your garden. Keep up the good work 👍❤️
I'm starting my squash planting today, thanks for sharing and the tips!🌿🌻
+Nang P

+i speak the truth
Thank you so much for watching!! So glad you loved it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
3:40 never seen this ....thanks for this tip 👍
your squash is so beautiful thank you for sharing
I am new to gardening here in South Georgia. I happened upon your youtube videos and have learned so much already. I have started just now planting a few things and can't wait to see the outcome. We have a family of 6 so growing our own food will help so much. I wanted to ask about the fish that you use.....is that just for when you grow squash? What else should you use it with? I appreciate all of yalls help and love your videos!
Wonderful!
I can't wait to try gardening for the first time ever this year :)
Awesome! You can do this!!!! Very happy for you. You have discovered a very rewarding hobby that will always bring you peace in many different ways. Enjoy your garden this year and for years to come❤️
wow, that's a gorgeous place you folks got!
+Tyler Jacobson
Thank you so much ❤️❤️🐶
Love this channel already! Thanks for sharing with us. God bless ❤️
Another great video! We love squashes - both summer and winter varieties but the last few years we have had a horrible problem with squash bugs (Anasa tristis). We're following our extension agents advise and taking the year off this season. We will be looking for folks to barter some from :)
man, you gave me an idea: may be squirrels do not like decomposing fish and it will keep them away from my garden ?? 😆 nothing else has worked so far, short of getting a dog. Nice squash, nice video and a HUGE garden, darn! Bless you too and happy growing!
+kleineroteHex
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Just love you two...abundant blessings and joy.
You folks are a gem. Thanks so much for the video.
Hollis, just watching your video again on the squash and just wanted to share a recipe we use for the squash. Take 1 yellow squash and 1 zucchini squash each at least 6-inches long and slice it so the slices are at least 1/4-inch thick then place them in a bowl with a lid and set aside.
In another large bowl that has a lid, add one onion that has been peeled and cut in half around the onion making two thick slices. Separate the middle section from the larger outer rings then cut the outer ring sections into quarter sections and the middle sections in half, place in the bowl. Take 1 red, 1 orange, and 1 yellow bell pepper and cut the tops off then cut down the indented area down the side of the pepper where the seeds are held and remove the seeds. Now cut each pepper section in half across the pepper and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl mix 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, 1/2 cup Soy Sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and any other spices you might like. My additional spices are 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder and 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder. Mixing thoroughly then pour half the mixture over the onion and pepper mixture and half over the squash mixture then cover and shake both bowls to coat the vegetables. Let set for 15 minutes then shake again and turn the containers upside down for another 15 minutes. After the mixture has set for the 30 minutes you need to pour the juice off the onion and pepper mixture but retain the juice.
Pour enough juice into a heated wok or large pan to cover the bottom then add the onion and pepper mixture and cook over medium heat for about 7 or 8 minutes adding more liquid, if needed, to keep the vegetables from sticking or turning brown. Now add the squash mixture to the pan along with enough liquid to allow the vegetables to cook but not stick or brown. The dish is done when the squash are tender crisp. NOTE: I cook the vegetable in two stages because it takes the onions and peppers longer to cook and cooking everything at one time causes the squash to become mushy. We enjoy this recipe when we cook steaks on the grill and this recipe was a concoction made up by my husband.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
God bless you brethren! Can my family visit you some time? I'm a great Floridian fan of you and Nancy.

Thank you for watching!! Have a great July 4th
I love ❤ this my mom and me grow squash
well done looks great.....bunker I use to catch them for blue fishing
+Pinetar And Robyns Homestead
Yep, makes a great bait and fertilizer. I have caught coolers full of snapper blues down here and used it for fertilizer too. I save all my fish heads and guts for the garden. One year I ran out of fish and had four more cauliflower to plant so I planted them with no fish. I figured there would only be a slight difference compared to the ones with fish in the hole. When the plants started growing I was amazed!! It wasn't just a slight difference, it was a drastic difference in overall size of plant, color and yield. I am convinced it is the way to go. I use it as much as possible. Have a blessed day y'all.
I just came across your channel. What a breath of fresh air. I subscribed immediately! You guys are wonderful. Keep the videos coming. 🤗

I used 10-10-10 to plant squash,then I seen your video, my squash is about a foot high, some did not look so good show I went and got some fish, dug a hole beside the plant, and put the fish in it ,then I added some lime to it, I planted about 74 plants, but only 73 came up.will this heart the ones I side dress with fish. I am about 60 years old, and just been farming about 5 years, and I am still learning. thank you for your help,and my GOD bless ya'll, yes I am from nc.

Thank you so much!! Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
Please teach me how to grow Ruby red, tangy ,yummy ,rich tomatoes in Savannah ga in this humid heat. I tried 4 yrs straight and failed. The pink ones sold in grocery stores just don't taste good at all.hubby loves B L T sandwiches. I'm from the mountains of North Georgia where all that red clay is. Is the red clay soil what makes those tomatoes I feel up on taste so good ?? Or is it something else the tomatoes need added to the soil to get that rich acid flavor ? Tangy tomatoes w acidy are the best !! Yum.Give God all the glory !
Love the videos
What do you guys put on your garden veggies to keep pest from chewing on them? I really enjoy your videos. You guys are such a inspiration to us. Blessings to yall
Neem oil
Squash is great to start from seed. Save $$.
I really appreciate your videos. I was wondering what you do for pest control. God bless!
I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video, and awesome looking yard 👍
That air freshener ad in the beginning is bussin
Do you need to put straw around the base of your squash or zucchini so it doesn't ground rot ? Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos. God Bless !
Not required
Wow! I had no idea that the fish was a good fertilizer.
Your videos have helped me so much!! You guys are awesome!!
Happy to help!
Superb. I am testing out squash again this year after giving up last year. I got discouraged because every year my vines were destroyed by the Squash vine borer. It is frustrating when you see something that huge and beautiful only for something the size of a maggot destroy the plant. Do you have any tips for this? I have seen anything from wrapping the base in aluminum foil to spraying the base. I am going to try Seven dust around the base only (not the flowers or the entire plant) and watch for eggs around it. I put some orange marigolds around them. I put a lot of yellow things on the other side of my house since apparently the are attracted to the color yellow. Happy gardening!
+PokeyBessie
I built some burlap frames a few years ago and set them over my squash seedlings until they started blooms. At that point I removed the frames because the fly is past the egg laying stage. There are some pictures of the frames on our Facebook page. You may have to scroll down a long ways but they are on there
Your garden is really open. How to control the animals around your house?
How far apart do you plant them?,thank you God bless y’all
th-cam.com/video/jBNxpEb0oXY/w-d-xo.html
How do you feel about the no dig method. Have you ever considered it.
+shannon wright
I have heard of the back to eden method or lasagna gardens etc but don't do it. I am old school and set in my ways. LOL❤️
I used to use a piece of plastic fence laid on the soil on either side of the plant and it kept squirrels at bay. They liked to eat my sprouted beans too..
Wtf ive never seem this and i'm honestly mesmerized!!! Thats hella bad ass!!! Lol GREAT VIDEO!!!! Great tips!!
+916nando
LOL. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
thank you guys! great vid
The male flowers from the squash is edible so you can Harvest them and hang them up to dry and core cook them right away but you can use them all year around if you dry them all you have to do is hang them up open them up clean them up take the inside middle part of it and then hang up the yellow part and you've got food for the winter if you want something to taste like yellow squash and in our country we are very blessed cuz we can always find yellow squash somewhere but other countries are not as fortunate and that's how I learn by watching those other countries as well and how they survive so you had a lot of your email flowers there that you could have Harvest and the tips of the plant as well is edible the fresh new tips and soups and fried foods I'm just about anything salad all right God bless to you and your lovely wife
I loved the info!!!! Great job!!! How often do you water?
Keep the soil moist not saturated
To keep squash bugs from my squash I'm thinking of getting foam pipe insulators and cut to size then wrap around the stalk. What's your opinion on this?
yellow sand buckets with soapy water in them.
What are your watering methods for the squash...???
Do you use any other type of nutrients or fertilizer other than the fish..???
I just planted my first squash and I'm amazed on its grow... I don't want to ruin it's harvest...
+Bruce Lee
1) I only water when plants actually need water by checking soil 9" below surface for moisture.
2). Nothing more than the fish. I started using fish several years ago, the results are very good.
If your plants are thriving, don't fertilize. You may push lead growth and stop the blooming. The old saying. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". LOL 😀😀
Thanks for watching Bruce👍
Not trying to be racist or insinuate anything but I like seeing country folk with foreign women. I can tell your a good guy
Nancy here thank you. I came to the United States when I was 7 years old so I grew up here and became USA citizen. I also love this country so much that I served in the Army. USA is best county in the world that is why everyone wants to come here. Thanks for being so open minded in loving all Gods people. Have a blessed day.
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead that’s awesome you have a blessed day also
Bit OTT. Men and their toys!
+rachel hudson
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much
love to know what to do for squash bugs i want to grow without chemicals
research three sisters gardening. Plant corn around the squash. The corn smells so much that it disguises the squash plants. Not a sure cure, but it will delay or help
I recommend Spinosad
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS
Yum- O !! Love you guys!
Hello Nancy and Hollis,
I always have problems with vine borers. I see that you previously mentioned the neem oil and soap solution. Will that work for the vine borers as well? Thank you and God bless you both!
No, cover your plants with fine insect mesh until they start to bloom. Then remove the mesh. By then the flies have finished egg laying season and your squash will be safe
Thank you so very much! Have a blessed growing season!
Where do you buy the mesh please,i just planted 9 plants ? Thank you !
Online. Search insect netting
Tku !!
All three of my squash and zuccs died from squash borers, but I had some back up plants since it was my first time. How do you keep them away?
+Vita Williams
I only had problems with them a few years ago. I covered the plants with burlap frames until they started showing blooms. Then I removed the frames. Haven't had problems with them since. If you check out our Facebook page you can see a picture of the frames, you may have to scroll down a ways.
thx 4 the video just wanted 2 ask you hunn i have a small garden so i grow my vegetables in pots can i put fish in pots 2? or is that going 2 b 2 much 4 the pots and seedlings? thx 1 love frm uk.england
I don’t use fish in containers. I recommend using Bone Meal and Blood Meal when planting . You can use fish emulsion after 4 weeks
Do you ever have a problem with vine borers? If so, what do you do?
God bless
I bet your a dang good bass fisherman too!
LOL. I haven’t been bass fishin in well over 40 years. But I was never any good at it. 🎣
Love your videos!!!
❤️
Great video. I would love it if the beginning was cut in half.
Yes our early videos intro was too long. We have reduced it to 27 seconds about a year ago. We are trying to get it down to 15 seconds on our new Florida videos. Thanks for watching. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️
hey, I'm growing my first yellow squash. very excited. do y'all only use fish as a fertilizer?
Yes, fish only🐟🐟🐟
How do you keep bugs off your squash? I have a terrible time with squash bugs and cucumber beetles.
Spinosad
How do you keep the pests away?
What about the Zucchini? How do you cook it?? Do you have video on preparing it? Thanks!
+Ray Perry
I cook it the same way
Loved your garlic video. Where do I buy that netting that you put your garlic on. Thanks
Sorry. That you put your garlic in to give away.
How do you keep your garden bed so free from weeds? I try every year to remove the weeds at least 12 inches down in the the dirt whole garden but I still get tremendous amount of weeds?
Hand pull on the rows and cultivate between the rows
Thank you so much for your videos I just bumped into again I bumped into you a while back that I lost the feed and couldn't remember who you are LOL so I am so ecstatic to find you again this time I locked you in LoL. May I ask you a question what kind of line do you have a specific brand name that I can look up and perhaps order online? That is awesome with the fish I am definitely going to try that with all my squash plants this year. This year on planting crooked neck squash, zucchini squash, white scallop squash,

The lime I use is Garden Lime (Pulverized Dolomitic Limestone). You can get it at LOWES or any retail garden center. Best of luck to you with your squash this year. BTW, you may be unaware that we recently released a new updated video on growing squash. Let me get you a link since you have been out of touch with our channel:

How to have good squash crop without squash bugs?
Just about sums it all up! I'm overweight and need exercise, let's mechanically till,on top of that, I just can't help myself when fishing and take too many. But it's OK, I can say a few prayers and feel better.
How are you doing, Hollis and Nancy? I miss seeing your videos. I checked last your, you said by January and February you would have new videos out. I hope you are alright? All ok in Florida?
We are fine as frog hair❤️. Yes, we have released many videos from our new Florida homestead. Check them out. Hope you enjoy them👍
when growing organic, how do you combat catapillers?
How will my plants pollinate if I don’t have any bees or butterflies?
You would have to do it with a q-tip
I've been pulling off a male flower, carefully peel the orange flower off, and use the (q tip) provided and brush it onto the center of the female flowers. Marvin Gaye music optional
Any trick to producing fruit on a zucchini plant. I often have large plants but no fruit. Thanks.
I see hard working bee! 7:27
Yall come back now ya hear.
Squanto over here
?
You should keep a bee hive at your new place! You'll always have pollinators AND honey!
We have an 8 x 16 foot raised garden. When I planted 3 zucchini & 3 cantaloupe, which all but covered the entire bed. your plants stayed tight & compact. Why the drastic differene? Any ideas?
Nancy here - Hollis don't put anything so far in the garden that is runners like cantaloupe (he puts them on trellis or bed by themselves). Also zucchini is heavy producer and large we only had 1. Your thumb is getting greener. Have fun
What kind of fertilizer? I had 8 of each plant and they dried up and died. I only got 2 zucchini and 10 squash.
+6996katmom
Fish only as shown in the video👍
So you like the yellow neck variety and plant three plants. Nancy likes zucchini and you plant one. Sounds kinda uneven.
New subscriber, liking the videos. I want to start grow in my suburban back. Want to start growing in buckets. How do I pick the right buckets to grow in. Thanks
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the family, check out our 5 gallon bucket potato
What breed is your little dog?Love your videos.
+karen george

I have a dachshund too, mine doesn't think shes a dog either...

LOL we need to be careful with our conversations around them!
Yes most definitely..LOL
