Miss Nancy use zucchini in a spiral cutter. Steam them or lightly saute them, makes excellent spaghetti noodles. Great for heart or diabetic folks God Bless

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Wonderful thank you for the tips and sharing with our homestead family

[@drthomason7043]

Ma ke the zuchinni noodles, dry and store

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Yes my friend with diabetes does this and loves it! ❤

[@ettateel4979]

My daughter makes zucchini and yellow squash noodles also with a spiral cutter. She makes her spaghetti, butter noodles, and she also makes a baked version of her lasagna with sliced eggplant or sliced squash. Lightly salute or lightly steamed.

[@katiemcdavid4124]

You sure can have pasta. But 100 percent semolina pasta from Italy. Don't let idiots steal your joy. LOL. It's even gluten free.

Long time viewer, 10 years. Thanks for sharing your difficulties as well as your successes. You and Nancy are phenomenal gardeners, so I follow closely how you do things. Wishing you all the best!

[@rinab4405]

AMEN to that! I have learned SO MUCH from them!!❤

[@karensterling5246]

Why don’t you guys try contacting your local ag extension unit to see what they suggest. University of Florida might be your closest. I hope it helps.

[@PrayerWarriorMama]

I grow in North Florida and have had the same issue with pickle worms. Last year wasn’t as bad as other years but I have learned to keep the BT or Neem oil close by once the plants start producing fruit. You got to stay ahead of the worms and spray weekly and after it rains because the rain will wash off the sprays. Remove any damaged fruit as early as possible and look for those worms and remove them manually if possible. It’s all part of gardening in the South!!! God bless.

[@freedomfighter8588]

Yeah, BT works great 👍

[@jeanettejarvis9669]

I have a question? Did the net help with this problem I want to grow spaghetti squash I love it but I don't want to deal with the worms. I live in central Florida

[@PrayerWarriorMama]

@@jeanettejarvis9669 I have never used the net but find the key is to be in your garden everyday inspecting for issues so you can take care of problems before they get out of hand (easier said than done right?! 🤣). I have only used netting before once for brassicas in the fall/winter, they worked great against cabbage worms.

[@deltonwatts9726]

Hollis, so sorry about the diagnosis. Although it is so hard you have a great cook and there are a lot of food options that you will enjoy. Blessings

[@Avemarianow]

Drink plenty of water and really watch what your eating and you will control the sugar fluctuations.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@HealyMeans]

hi hollis & nancy 🤗 your videos are the best. been watching for years and subscribed last year. im in socal/zone10. ive experienced pests for the first time as well - aphids this winter and fig beetles last summer. i never had them before. i really think its the crazy changes in the weather. ive never sprayed anything on my garden, but ill try bt & baking soda. tfs

[@rockyusa2012]

Feel better Hollis. Chayote helps to reduce the sugar levels.

[@TheMostBashfulGnome]

You guys are my inspiration! If I one day get a garden that yields even half of what yours does I will be the happiest gnome in the world!

[@homesteadblessings8886]

Are they only in the south? Last year some type of worm took out all my spaghetti squash. the ones that looked good when I let them cure and brought them in would start to rot at the end and solost them all. So sad lots of work and tease that they looked good at first. I understand about the pain. arthritis is through my whole body. I pray daily for Gods healings and healing for both you and Nancy. God's blessing to you and yours

[@tigressgems]

Love spaghetti squash sauted in olive oil, butter, crushed garlic, salt pepper. Yummy

[@vittoria5210]

The God that healed Mrs. Nancy of that cancer a few years ago is the same God that can heal you of your diabetes!!! I am trusting and believing that God is the same God that created us in his image according to Genesis1:27 will be just that bc there is no diabetes in him so it shall not be in you in the name of Jesus. According to Psalms 139:14 we we're fearfully and wonderfully made.... I command your healing to locate you right now in the mighty name of Jesus. You shall not lose any feeling in your fingers nor toes, you shall not lose any limbs in the mighty name of Jesus!!!! AMEN May your faith increase and whatsoever you ask in Jesus name shall be given unto you❤

[@kathyepps115]

Do you think if you had encased each spaghetti squash in one of those pantyhose-like netting thing you mentioned that it might have helped prevent the pickle worm from getting into the fruit?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@kingscairnAnd apples, but it is very labor intensive if you have very many.

[@duncand5148]

Hello. Just wanted to say thank you for being transparent by showing the successes as well as the failures. I find you both to be reliable, dependable and trustworthy instructional leaders. Be Blessed.

[@BettyWhiteJr]

Hollis you will be in my prayers, I hope the good Lord lays his healing hands upon you like only he can. With you as well Nancy, I hope you both stay blessed, healthy and happy! And of course as always, loved the video!!

[@CarrieNita]

Personally, I enjoy the zucs more than the spaghetti squash. I even make lasagna with it. Boy, now I am hungry!

[@hellokimmy68]

I'm in central NC and pickleworms are the very bane of my existence. Last year, they blessedly left my cukes alone, but year before last, I barely got any. I'm so sorry you lost your whole harvest, but you definitely gave it a good try!

[@tater357]

Sorry to hear about the losing battle against the famous warrior of the Pickle Worm. I used to have issues with the other well known garden worm "The tomato Horn Worm", but one year I grew my tomato plants near our backyard bird feeder, and I didn't see the first worm that year. I'm just curious if that might help in this situation. Might be worth trying. Also, my wife suggested planting marigolds or herbs such as Basil or oregano close by to help mask the scent of the spaghetti squash blooms.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh gosh watching this from seed, to seedlings, to all the work in trellis garden prep, and tieing up trellis to see this happen breaks my heart. I have never heard of pickle worm, watching from frozen Reno Nevada. I pray it all recovers! Love you Nancy and Hollis! Great learning curve!

[@marialittlefieldpradokurpu2061]

I was told that if you put bat houses up around the garden property they will take care of the pests in the garden and fertilize it for you too😇 Thank you both for all you share I'm starting some containers this week if the weather will only cooperate!😱❄️ Blessings and prayers for your health 🙏

[@reneenelsen7416]

I never seen a pickle worm B4 thank you for sharing, also it's been 40 or 50 years since I've seen a tomato worm. If you come across one could you show that also. Sending virtual Granny hug's and prayers to everyone ☺️💕

[@michelemenard8364]

Hi! Just to add another option for you. We love Zoodles - spiral cut zucchini. We use it as a spaghetti substitute with my sauce and also I have make "noodles" but cutting the zucchini into thin planks and making lasagna. A great substitute and friends of our that were skeptical now ask for these alternative meals. Have a super day. We are here with you on your new journey and I am certain will all learn along the way. Oh I just came across a tool that may make your trellising a little easier and not sure if you have ever used it. It is called a Tapener. I have seen it on Amazon and a variety of other garden supply sites. Just though that I would mention it to you seeing that you seem to trellis a lot of veggies and it could be a time saver.

[@kieutran6821]

Thanks for sharing your experience Mr.Hollis and Miss Nancy 🙏😇🙏 I am sorry about the pickle worms 🐛 problem! I had them last year on my tomatoes 🍅 too but my neighbor has lots of birds from her backyard and they help me solve the problem. I love your spirit of not giving up 👍😍 let’s try again this year 😅 May God bless you both with good health so we can enjoy more videos and learn more form you 🙏😇🙏 Have a blessed day❤

[@romancichocki6344]

Sorry to hear about your health issues, love your videos. Thank you for encouraging others to grow gardens. May the Lord bless you.

[@rachelr8897]

You both are truly a blessing. Now I must decide if I’m going to try and squeeze some squash into my tiny little garden.

[@laurachatfield4142]

I just picked the first zucchini off the plant and it was turning yellow. I read it was possibly due to calcium deficiency. This is my first year gardening, so it's a real learning process. I see how you're using a generous amount of bone meal and I've seen you use a lot of Lime. I have both, but apparently didn't use near enough.. Next Time...😊

[@heatherkennedy9973]

so sorry about all the pickle worms infesting your squash

[@kele1264]

I'm sure glad that you are taking your diabetes seriously, and taking steps to stay healthy. I'm diabetic also. Yeah, pasta, darn it. I love spaghetti too. Haven't tried spaghetti squash replacement yet. Rice, bread, and pizza are bad for us too, among other things. The delicious things in life!

[@75Bigsistr]

Squash vine borers have humbled me! My first year no trouble but every year since they have gotten me. I'm so sorry about the pickle worm! 🐛

[@paulahawkins6732]

Thank you, Hollis and Nancy, for your informative videos! I live in Southern California on a very small plot of land. I am trying to grow some food for my husband and I. It’s a challenge but we need to have a plan in these uncertain times. I watch all of your videos and appreciate your thorough approach. God bless you both!

[@PatBarr55]

I had a really good cucumber plants a few years back and all of a sudden I saw all my cukes with pickle worms, I was so dissapointed. They are gross. Before starting this year I dug in soil and picked them all out. I'll try your spray. Love your gardens, Blessings.

[@kitdriscoll1288]

Brother, try low carb or keto with intermittent fasting. Sarah at Living Traditions has some videos sharing her keto recipes... stuffed bell peppers, for example. Yum!! You can overcome this diagnosis and even come out healthier on the other side. 😉 Also, look up Dr Berg's videos about Berberine ...does everything metformin does without side effects. Berberine is also anti-cancer. Cinnamon is good as well...

[@titasmom678]

They have those konyyaku (konjac) based shirataki noodles that have low to no carbs that people on keto diets eat. Maybe try that. Or spiral cut zucchini noodles...zoodles.

Would fish heads not have been a good amendment for squash? Just getting ours ready to plant and have considered using your method of using fish.

[@kikigamble4315]

Hi. Bugs are so bad. You might consider a large hoop house to grow in. Consider, replanting in like Sept. Your pest problem might be reduced n with your longer growing time where you are you might get a harvest. If that doesn't work, mini hoop covered fine netting on a row to see if it helps with your bug problem. Good luck. Peace to you and yours

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Well, that’s a real disappointment! I guess you could use spaghetti squash as a catch crop for the worms to keep them off everything else and then buy spaghetti squash. On another note, have you ever had any alligators come onto your property?

[@laurab8547]

I wonder if you covered them with an insect netting if that would help?

[@marymccauley2637]

Thanks for sharing your hard work even if it didn't pan out this go around. Your explanation on how to eradicate and then letting us know that even all those steps didn't work is still helpful for the rest of us. Sure appreciate your tips & thoroughly enjoy you, Miss Nancy, and especially sweet Bing Bing. And nice shot of the eagle!

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Back in the sixties my grandfather used to put stockings ( before pantyhose) around his Papaya plants to keep the bugs out. I grew up in Hialeah Florida.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for sharing

[@circledot-kc8il]

Well, that doesn't work for pickle worms. The worms lay their eggs on the actual flowers and the fruit and the stem near the fruit. It's impossible in the South.

[@wudegoddd]

well!!! It happened here in Maine!! The Squash Vine Borer Moths teamed up with the local Pickle Worms & started a full-on asssault on my peacefull Squash Village. NOW they have air support AND boots on the ground, excuse me, appendages on the ground. I had to evacuate the locals and turn the patch into bioChar. THEN rake up and sift the dirt to look for the SVB pupae. Which, as it turns out, I've been seeing them in their pupea form all my life, I ALWAYS wondered what those things turn into. I suggest you google what the pupea stage looks like, because chances are you've seen them before

[@MaynMike]

We live in Miami Zone 10 and this year the weather has been so crazy that we’ve had several pests already. Whiteflies, powdery mildew, hornworms… it never ends. Thanks for the baking soda tip. We’ll try it. 😅 ❤

[@amandamolina501]

It's encouraging to see that even seasoned gardeners have failures too. We don't have the pickle worm here in Central Texas but we do have the dreaded Squash Vine Borer. Growing squash of any kind is near impossible. I keep trying though!

[@lonewolf6448]

I did the same thing. But I got pill bugs aka Rolly Polley. Last year.

So sorry to hear of your health issues. Happy to hear the love of your life has got your back. ❤❤❤

[@sandrahouse9322]

Maybe plant in the buckets and cover with tulle. Squash bugs is bad here. Don't think we have pickles worms. Unless called by different name.

[@adriankap2978]

I’ve never heard of the dreaded dastardly pickle worm but I’m new to this gardening stuff. The one thing I try to do without fail is as soon as I put a plant in any soil, I water the new plant then I just wet the surface of the soil with Summit Mosquito Bits solution that I soak with about 3Tbs in 32oz jar with filtered water (not tap or anything with chloramines etc) for 1-4hrs then I shake and strain the bits out. Then add about 1/4c to each 1gal of filtered water in a shower head watering can. (I use a Boogie Blue Plus water filter for my plants) SMB is also a BT. Completely organic and safe for people, wildlife and fish. It kills gnats and mosquito larvae in case it’s in any soil or compost. I do that every 5-7 days for 2-3 weeks then every 2 weeks. Most time they’re gone by the second watering but want to ensure they’re gone. I’m wondering if you got them from your compost. Hey, have you thought of using predator mites? I’ve seen YT videos using a drone to spread them around or add pouches hanging on your plants. Just a thought. God Bless you both.

[@simplysimple7628]

Those suckers are horrible here in Hawaii also. Way too much rain to use BT. It works but the tropical weather washes it all away. Gotta get lucky. Only thing that keeps them off are nets. Pain in the butt and alot of work but that’s the only way I can get a harvest.

[@chiefredbird7315]

I had them last season on my cucumbers...killed most of my crop. But I used what you are using and it did save a few cucumber 🥒 but I discovered them a little late but lesson learned...lol

[@southalroots]

BT with Spinasad in it. The pickle worms are getting my zucchini and crookneck squash this year. I’m in AL in Mobile Bay. I go out every morning and squash any I see on the leaves. It has helped but gonna have to spray. Now getting squash boars 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@jenniferlavelle6324]

Sorry to hear you were diagnosed with diabetes. Assuming type 2 which is completely reversible. I suggest checking out dr ken berry on youtube. He is who i follow for my low carb journey. I lost 50 pounds following cancer from eating too much junk.

[@daynastithem3576]

So my husband is diabetic and we use the spaghetti squash but in the summertime I also use zucchini and make noodles out of it and lasagna sheets out of it. My kitchen aid mixer has attachments that cuts the sheets and noodles for me. Takes just a few minutes and it’s done. You can use several vegetables to substitute for noodles you can spiral cut or sheet cut.

[@joejoe3185]

I sure do love your vedios!, I hope you start feeling better soon!! God Bless!!

Hi guys, thanks for posting - hands down my favorite farming site. Sorry to hear about your medical issues but have no doubt Nancy will take care of it. Was hoping if you get a chance to do a video on plants that should and shouldn’t get full sun. I know it seems trivial but I’ve had issues with some plants.

[@phatfarmerfarmer2063]

If you use a crop cover threw the season of the moth that creates the worm and take of the cover after the season of said moth that has worked very well for my wife and I. We live in Missouri Zone 6B and we use crop covers for a lot of our garden and we have never grown such wonderful crops. Thanks for all of your content that you guys create you are a inspiration to many that are seeking this information. God Bless you all

[@fawnf7492]

Had a hard time last year with pickle worms and vine borer worms…fought a losing battle! Got all my zucchini and cucumbers…I’m in central Mississippi…

[@teresawebster3498]

I wonder if you could plant them more towards the fall and maybe avoid them monsters. I love butterflies and moths, but I cringe every time I see them because I know what is coming next.

[@patricacompton9603]

There's only 1 sure way to beat those pesky moths. You need to build a screened trellis 4 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet tall. The window screening and or the "tool" they use for wedding veils are both very good at keeping them out while letting light and rain in. There are some pastas made out of spinach, tomato, and other vegetable powders. Those are what I like to use.

[@palmsandsand]

Good ole pickle worm is what it looks like. I’m surprised it was able to get through the squash skin. They will destroy your zucchini blossoms (which is what they prefer). They will eat the fruit if there are no blossoms. That was my first worm experience immediately after starting my garden in August.

[@redtruckrunning6]

This was so relatable, I grow a garden in south Florida and this spring was super hot and my cucumbers got destroyed by pickle worms and I also ended up ripping it all out and I planted okra in its place. Thank you for the great videos and it’s nice to see some of the realities of gardening.

[@hopemorrison2367]

Spaghetti squash has no flavor you can eat everything just watch the portions you will still need some carbs for energy and eat a lot of veggies and eat carb once a day just don't drink sugar drinks as well

[@wendyplatts7986]

I had pickle worms in my cukes, yellow squash, and butternut. The corn borers ruined my whole corn crop. I fought them all season and lost. It's a bummer.

[@reneejmj]

[@gtmunch]

I live just a bit farther south. Never had pickle worms but have unbelievable trouble with vine borrers.

[@dorothybunot5994]

Miss Nancy can cut a bunch of that twine and then make a little apron and that way she doesn't have to keep cutting and she can have her scissors there so she can cut the bottom part though but it would be easier for her to pull up twine tie and go I Used to work in the Grape fields In California Made it so much Easier

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Love spaghetti squash more than pasta almost. Dad is diabetic so mom bought a spiralizer to make pasta from zucchini in the summer when the winter squash is gone so he can still enjoy some of his favorite dishes. Like it for when it's hot and you don't want to eat so heavy.

I have used spaghetti squash, the noodlesike angle hair pasta in size & texture. I take a large zucchini & cut thin lengthwise. They make lasagna noodles! I also will take yellow crook or straight neck or smaller zucks & chunk them up & use in casseroles like u would use like elbow macaroni or other pasta. Then... away from main dish, larger zuck.cut rings & quarter them... the look like apple slices, use all ur apple spice pie and cinnamon & put in ur pastry... MOCK APPLE PIE. I made zucchini jelly & zucchini pickles. I love zucchini

Hollis...The cotton pickin worms...and squirrels! Yep, they get way more than we do. But, this year, I am not spraying and fighting! Yes, I did the insect netting and it did work. However it sure made it a pain to try and care for the plants. So, this year....tulle! I got a bolt of tulle and will be making a pile of squares to tie around each section of the fruit...Not the plant, just the fruit! it might seem like a pain, and probably will be. But, if we get fruit....IT's worth it. Oh, and I have a pile of old cotton t-shirts...I cut those in strips..the best ties..THE-BEST!
