Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me

It’s called, Cucuzza, I have been growing them many years. My Italian father grew them all the time. You should not let them get bigger than 2 1/2 to 3 feet, after that they are all seed and not as much flavor. If the seeds are large, they must be scraped out. The traditional Italian way of eating it is in a tomato gravy stew. Keep in mind that they produce a lot of juice. Here is a recipe that I put together that you may like. I put everything in the pot at one time and cook until the shrimp are done. RECIPE: 1 Cucuzza; 1 onion; 1 cup of celery; 1 can of Goya Coconut Milk,( must be thick), 1 - 4 oz. jar of red curry past; 4 lbs. shrimp; salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. If you need more juice, add a little chicken stock.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you so much for the recipe. I can't wait to try it out

[@yacabe]

Just to clarify, this is not the recipe for the tomato gravy stew? I'm assuming since I didn't see any mention of tomatoes in the list of ingredients you gave (assuming has gotten me into trouble😅). But it sounds so delicious. 😋

[@wildwoodsdream3505]

I also add chunks of potatoes and I don't add any milk. But definitely pick those cucuzza now! (coo-coo-zah, accent on the second syllable). :)

[@pammowery8484]

In 2014 I had knee replacement, then infected and had revision surgery. I was on antibiotic IV for 6 weeks… long story short missed and entire garden season. I totally get it about how easy it is to take for granted the real joy we glean from our garden. Prayers for speedy and FULL recovery-get back to your happy place! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@mackenzieboersen]

Missing the growing season the last few days. Garden walk through's are my favorite.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I miss those days as well

[@Lwoman50]

You look amazing jill. Take care and don’t over due. You needed to fill your soul and now rest my friend

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good Afternoon Whispering Willow Farm. As always, your smile is as bright as a sunflower. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

[@miriantalbot6772]

So glad Jill to see your smiling and visiting your garden keeping praying for a total healing ..God continue working in your recovery!

[@williamwoods8765]

Hello mirian

[@pattiripley7599]

I live in late fall when you wake up and have clean crisp smell and feel first thing in the morning. You start the day in a sweater or sweatshirt and later just a tee only to have to put sweater back on in the evening. The harvest is putting itself to bed and in just a week or so it’s wintertime. You finally get time to slow a little and don’t forget to be thankful for what you’ve received in the fall. Don’t wait till Thanksgiving, be thankful all the way.

[@jachooper6992]

Glad to see you out in the garden, you can really see the glow in your face now you're back out there.😊

[@heathergeyer1780]

You have such a beautiful spirit. I’m so glad you were able to give your spirit a boost today. Walking in the garden is definitely an uplifting activity. Glad to see you smile. Still sending up prayers for you dear.

[@mariezafonte6473]

A simple way to cook the cucuzza (gagootz) is to peel the skin off. Scrape out the large seeds and cut the squash into 1-2 in chunks. Sauté in olive oil and garlic and add tomato sauce, salt and pepper and italian basil. cook until tender. Eat as a side vegetable. Or make some pasta, usually elbows, and add the the tomato sauce squash mix. We grate cheese called ricotta salatta onto it. It is a soft , delicious grateable cheese, on the large side of your grater. Wish I had one of those right now! Continue to feel better Jill.

[@midsouthhomestead7527]

I couldn't get in my garden in May for a couple of weeks. It made me appreciate it even more. Still praying for you.💙🙏💙

[@julicaru4812]

Glad you’re feeling better Jill , continue to take it easy and follow your doctor’s advice, Nate, you’re doing a great job looking after your lovely family, a proper man’s job sir . All the best Jules

[@michellewhite1924]

[@tracyzabelle]

Speedy healing to you Jill.. you are so special to us take care

[@chezelleconroy2951]

Just re-watching this one Jill, you’re such a joy.

[@PacoMontes1]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better God bless and take care of yourself

[@leagarner3675]

Congrats on feeling better! Yay! I hope that you don't mind if I share my experience: If you are just doing potatoes on new ground, no need to bring in soil. Put down straw, weeds, grass, leaves, newspaper, thin cardboard, paper, and let it rot in contact with the soil. If you put corrugated cardboard down, use it as a removable ground cover or cover for your composting materials if it rains too much or too little. Don't use fresh manure, only aged manure if adding that. You can put potatoes directly in. Once the ground looks pretty good, put in daikon radish for the goats. I don't have goats and just compost the radish. But be sure to add organic matter consistently as you are able.

[@mommajessiesboutique]

My family loves collecting eggs. Before we go collect them we each guess a number for how many eggs we may have. We only have two hens now, so hopefully we can expand soon.

[@Mickeymouse7273]

Hello from Northern Arkansas! 🥰 God bless you and yours, and my prayers are with you! 🙏

[@williamwoods8765]

Hello crystal

[@tonyastadt9102]

Jill I'm so thankful that you are doing better and that you get a chance to get out to your garden and see what's going on it's such a blessing everything works in its place and God has plans but sometimes you just need to stir down and take it easy 🙏💚😊

[@nancygould6789]

I'm happy that you could get out and enjoy your garden.

[@robertlafollette2236]

Nice to see you out in the garden, prayers continue for you.God Bless.

[@Jessica-pn1dl]

Sweet sweet girl. I bet you needed a good laydown after this. Right after my husband's surgery there was a big snow storm in Missouri, I let him come out while I built snow forts and tunnels for the kids. It was the first day down the stairs and out side for him and he took a long nap after lol. But it was good for his soul and motivated him. Just be careful out and about.

[@donnacochran3335]

Don't overdo it. I know it feels good to be out in the garden but too much too soon will set you back. We want you to be better! Have a great week.

[@stacylinn3102]

I'm so happy you got to go for a mini garden journey 🥰 thanks for sharing!

[@Coastal.Redwood.Homestead]

Awww Jill it’s so beautiful to see you in your beautiful garden and we continue to pray for you and your family Amen 🙏

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you ❤

[@karenzorn773]

Good to see you out in the garden, I totally understand your garden is your therapy, helps you heal.

[@reginathompson9350]

So glad you are healing and up at it again. Please pray for my son whom just had enucleation w implant on his right eye. He's in a lot of pain and will be for days to come.TIA

[@williamwoods8765]

Sweet Jill, so happy that you have turned the corner with your recovery. Prayer works. God bless may you continue to heal, remember please take it easy, tomorrow is another day

[@mommajessiesboutique]

Glad to see you are doing better! ❤️🙏

[@roxane9854]

Found your channel by accident. I really enjoy your videos and i subscribe. So, glad your back on your feet from the surgery. After being down for 3 weeks from the C word..I got my motivation to start living again from just stepping out in my garden and start off right where i left off before i got sick. I so love the outdoors and nature. I will never take that for granted. So, your story so much moved me. Thank you

[@moderndayhomesteader1709]

It was so nice seeing you up and about. 🥰

[@melissashreve2400]

I am so happy that you are feeling better. I love listening to you and also know the importance of being able to get around and enjoy your garden. Thanks for sharing. Continue to heal. But.... Don't over due... K?

[@ElizabethStapleton_Ohio]

Nice see you're up and feeling better ❤️

[@roxeyserckie5414]

Hope you are well and healing safely. 🙏

[@nahnisjourney1406]

It’s so good to see you outside in your garden. Please take your time. Love you so much, and really appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.

[@sallyboothe911]

Be careful and don’t overdo. I remember years ago I had a minor surgery and feeling like I would be okay I ventured out to the grocery store that’s about a mile from where I live. I’m sorry to say that I had to call my husband to come and get me. I didn’t do much, was only there for a very short time but I just couldn’t go any more. Praying for complete healing and no other problems to worry about concerning your health. Blessings 🙏🏻💗🌺🪴🥰

[@tinabloomfield7228]

So very good to see you wandering around in your favorite space, and you're soul needed it❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good to see yoh out MS Jill 🤗

[@lindag4484]

Every time I hold a tiny seed between my fingers, ready to plant, I think about the mature plant that will grow from it and the abundance that will come from it. Geesh, what miraculous thing! Jill, you look great even though you may not feel great...yet. Loved seeing the goats.

[@Anne-py2ci]

Glad to see you progressing!

[@simplelifegarden6154]

I'm glad to see your spirits lifted a little 🌻 Sometimes we need a little still and garden in our lives even it's just for a moment .

[@alliepopoff325]

I’m sure this vlog was exhausting to film and put together for you, but thank you for sharing your garden with us! Your perseverance and energy in the face of difficulty is inspiring. Take care of yourself xoxoxo

💚 So grateful to see you smiling and definitely feeling better! Continued Showers of Blessings and Prayers coming your way. 💚

[@dollycaldwell4938]

glad to see you out and about!!!

[@small-timegarden]

Hi first time seeing your channel. A comment on the plastic mulch over the weeds. The clear mulch may just be a greenhouse for the weeds, slowing their death if not encouraging them to thrive. They still getting light. The opaque is more effective. Appreciate the quick tour. Have a speedy recovery.

[@jennifergravina866]

So glad you're able to get around and do what you love.

[@bluegirl777]

Good to see you up and around. Your hair looks so cute btw! Surprised you are planting so many things for fall. I'm in AR too and I noticed the farmer's almanac moved up our first frost date to Oct 31. Hope we all have time for one more nice autumn harvest!

[@tericamcginnis5848]

How nice for you to get out! Inch by inch it's a cinch! Each day you will continue to regain strength. Breath in those garden smells and enjoy! 💜😎

[@victoriawilliams3251]

I feel the same way when I can finally at the end of our winter get out and enjoy the garden 🪴 So glad you got energized 🍄🌟

[@chezelleconroy2951]

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Awww it’s lovely to see you out in your garden and feeling a little better 🌸💕🌸

[@JeanneKinland]

I had the same problem you did with polycystic ovarian disease {PCOD} about 14 years ago. I think I was 48 yrs. old. I had a procedure that used robotics and it only required a few tiny surgical incisions. They removed both my ovaries and uterus. They also put in a suprapubic catheter. I did my own bladder training within the first 24 hrs and insisted that they remove that catheter. I went home the day after my surgery. I had very little pain. However, I did take full advantage of my disability insurance and take 6 weeks off work. However, I don't think I needed all that time. I had an older doctor that was actually a teacher and taught other doctors how to do this procedure. I'm lucky to live here in Nebraska with excellent physicians. My procedure wasn't an emergency situation so they had time to plan everything out. I had many students watching over the whole thing as my doctor was a teacher. He did a terrific job and I'm grateful for that. Hope you recover soon and get back your feet. Love your videos and look forward to some more.

[@paigetracy1924]

Love seeing your beautiful smile and up getting around 🥰🌸🌻 Many prayers and love 💕

I’m growing tromboncina squash because I have a huge vine borer issue. the one I planted is young and so far I can’t tell female from male flowers. Maybe in a week or two it will be obvious.
