I love how you teach people with lots of detail and care! Thanks ❤

I grew black futsu for the first time this year, they turn a brownish color when they are ripe (I let mine stay on the vine until they reached that color). The farmer I used to work for told me that he harvested them too early one year while they were still dark green and the flavor was not great at that stage, but I can say that the flavor is fantastic when fully ripened. Hopefully yours will continue to ripen and fully develop their flavor because they are now one of my favorite varieties.

Fabulous results! Achieving a good harvest is of course one of the aims, but what is also important is the health benefits we get from gardening, both physical and mental health. Backed by research, greenness can help us feel calmer and get better sleep as well!

Tanya's squash and pumpkin patch! You have done so much in the garden in such a short amount of time. I remember when you found all the white rocks when you first moved in. Great update video. Thank you!

Thank you for identifying the musquee de Provence squash. I ended up with 2 this year and don’t know where they came from. I grew butternut squash from store bought seeds and sugar pie pumpkins from home-saved heirloom seeds. I got squash and pumpkins, but also these two giant green Cinderella-like pumpkins that I had no idea what they were. Hopefully they’ll ripen in storage.

Sweet potato vines are delicious. You can harvest them in moderation while the tubers are developing. That makes them a very valuable crop. Plus they don’t take over so much. For recipes, look to Asian & Pacific dishes. Stir fry, soups, curries. Also Northern Italian. I substitute for kale & spinach. It does have a mild sweet potato flavor under the green. Especially good with nutmeg spiced béchamel, ground pork lasagna, and gnocchi

I grow the worty French pumpkins. They do great on a trellis, grow super well, and are very sweet. They also don't take long. Some self seeded from the compost heap this year. I had one last until May. Pumpkins are just fun.

Tanya, I love watching your progress in your new garden and your soap videos are also very well done. Thank you.^_^.

[Pixieworksstudio]

What a fabulous, uplifting video. The squash look so amazing!

[missourigirl]

Tanya your garden is beautiful. You’ve done so much in a short time of moving. Amazing.

[gardenvlogmeimei]

The squash look so amazing! love your growing garden ♥

[hunthicks]

You should try growing jicama in the polycrub next year. It's such a tasty vegetable. I've grown it indoors in a grow tent and got tubers in just a couple months so I'm sure it would do great for you!

[firecrest]

Wow your garden is so beautiful and such a great harvest

[tottering-by-gently]

My Musque de Provence looked exactly the same last year and did change color in storage. I found the flesh to be stringy so hopefully yours turn out more delicious!

My favorite squashes are honeynut and kuri, both of which are delicious, productive and are a great size for a smaller household

[jennyjohnson]

Beautiful squash Tanya! I grew Turks Turban, Uchi Kurkuri and Crown Prince for the first time. I loved watching them grow and will definitely do them again. Your veg garden looks wonderful and all your hard work paid off.

[frostygarena]

Pumpkin Turban looks quite good 😊👌 i grown the orange pumpkin it started good but could only harvest one the stem got infected don't know how i guess weather was still hot when it started producing pumpkin with pest attack still good planted two more will see if they can produce in winter.

[CharlotteJulienne]

Hoping our Musquee de Provence change color in storage as they are massive but fairly green. Zone 5B. Thanks for sharing your garden with us!

[helenmcclellan]

Great tour! Thank you for sharing thr names of the pumpkins.

[jgee]

Oh well done Tanya. Your hard work has paid off. Oh how I desire to have such a harvest. Mine were all leafy and no pumpkins 😭💔.
