Garden looks good. I too had an issue early this season with cucumber beetles, but then it went to spider mites. Now, heat is the biggest threat. LOL.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

These bugs are ruthless 😂 but YES the heat 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 we are touching 100s recently

[@CedarMountain925]

Thank you for this. I’ve been looking for info on growing spaghetti squash and couldn’t find what I needed to know. I tried growing them a few years ago and it didn’t do well at all. Thank you again and God bless

Thank you so much for watching! My daughter loves them

Hi there I just found you today June 24, 2022! I enjoyed learning about harvesting squash! This year I built a branch trellis and let part of it grow on the ground. Love both methods. So beautiful to see how the vines stretch on the ground and attach to the trellises to see hanging squash too. Love your style of explaining! Look forward to binge watching your videos to catch up on my Gardening tips!! So much fun to garden. Greetings from CA. 😊🍉

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you so much Mary! It’s amazing how much we all learn over experience, I feel like each year we learn something new! So glad to have you

Carmen Yalls garden is beautiful!!!! We had some good luck this year with spaghetti squash!!! We did have serious vine boars thoughhhhh

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you so much. Yes those annoying vine boars!!! We love cooking with squash and definitely try to keep it in our garden.

[@attaje]

Thanks great video

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You’re very welcome, thank you for watching.

[@jaynej9924]

Thank you, you’ve told me exactly what I need to know. I harvested them early out of ignorance, so I’ll cube and roast them. 👍😀

[@tinamariefeliciano2751]

How do you cube and roast them? Curious! Thanks😊

[@jaynej9924]

@@tinamariefeliciano2751 Hi! I halved it, scooped out pulp, and cut the skin off whilst the halves were stable, cut side down on chopping board. Then cubed the flesh. HOWEVER I went on to find that the early harvest had not been a problem, as after the first one, the others did make ‘spaghetti’, so they caught up somehow when I just left them for a few weeks. 😀

[@tinamariefeliciano2751]

@@jaynej9924 do you have a video on cubing and roasting!? Lol would be a good one. 😊

Well put. Thank you so much

[@WickedAwesomeGardening]

I love me some spaghetti squash!!! I especially love the variety I grew this year called Angel Hair because they are small personal sized squashes. I’m the only one in the house who likes it so having one that would be just the right size for my dinner was great! It was super prolific too!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

They grow so well! I’ll have to try that variety

[@superdivamom]

thanks for good info!!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You’re welcome ❤️

[@pjd2709]

Yes you were very helpful, I plan on growing this squash this coming season and have never grown it before, You could even make a small mini square frame and the top of it could be made of chicken wire or that little square wire, to help with airation around the squash when they are formed and growing. Thank you for sharing.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Very smart! Did not think of that

Once the female flower is pollinated how long until the squash is ready to come off the vine? Great video!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You can harvest it anytime after pollination, I actually prefer them green because they taste more like zucchini lol . But if you want to full ripe spaghetti squash, it should take about 45-50 days when the squash is a strong yellow color. Wait as long as you can, before the frost, to get a nice hardened squash for longer storage over winter :)

[@citylotgardening6171]

👍

[@whitneypotter478]

What kind of oil do you recommend?

[@ramonaekholm6024]

I am curious about other than spaghetti, what recipe or how you use spaghetti squash.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I actually do not like it when it’s made into spaghetti haha! When I pick it young and green I use it in many dishes, like breakfast hash, mixed with onions, potatoes, sausage and corn. Dinner casseroles, soups and stews! I just peel, cube or slice!

[@kristinewilson5260]

I took out spaghetti squash seeds out of freezer a week ago and kept them in the frig during that week... how do you germinate them from here? Still has the meat attached. I'm soaking in a plastic baggie covered in water right now... what next?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I would just put them in the dirt at water :) nothing fancy.

[@tinamariefeliciano2751]

Hi there! Great advice. Thanks so much. When started from seeds is it ok for the plant to flop over into the dirt?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Yes that is completely fine

[@JennySieck]

Hi there. This is a great video. What can you companion planted them with?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Marigolds, nasturtiums and radishes are great companion plants with squash!
