Dear Gary, I just want to thank you for the abundance of knowledge you share with us. I have learned so much from you and I also want to mention that you are the only one that IS NOT about having the camera in his face constantly like everyone else. It is so much better to watch the plants and see the actual interaction with them rather than watch someone's face as they go on talking for an eternity. You are an actual teacher and it is clear you want to share and teach in the most effective way. I just wanted to let you know how great this channel is and how much I really love it (you). Thanks again.

Another great way to use zucchini is to make flour out of them. We grate them and spread the zucchini over our dehydrator trays and dry them out. Once dry it gets put into a food processor and turned into flour. It makes great flour and is used at a ratio to regular flour of 1 to 1. The products don't rise as much but is a healthy alternative when needed for health reasons.

Loving this Squash and Zucchini series. Very timely!

[@sudburyhouse]

Gary you’re awesome! I really appreciate your attention to detail. There are so many videos out there with the same titles that sometimes never get to the point of what the video was about!! When I watch your videos I get exactly what I’m looking for without all the filling talk! Thank you!

[@KnightMoonShadow]

I have never had any luck growing a garden . I stumbled across you here on KZbin to realize I was doing everything wrong. I took your tips and started seeds indoor, got my plots ready and holy smokes! I have way more than I can possibly eat. I have really aged manure, like over 15 years old that my plants love, though, I have taken your advice to fertilize. Thanks for the great videos.!

[@nicholasnarcowich9163]

You have answered several questions I have had. I have just started planting in a small space, at almost 60. I wish I had done so 30 years ago :-) Thank you for your informative show :-)

[@calcat7375]

Thanks to this video you taught me how to grow squash last year but I don't always remember everything this is a great reminder with even new ideas😎

[@elinow5257]

Happy to know the small rotting zucchini is a pollination issue. I had some and got discouraged but now know the reason and glad I didn’t pull the plant. I have lots of good, healthy zucchini’s coming on. Love the instruction for how to use the zucchini at different growth stages/sizes. Very helpful.

[@MPCrafts461]

Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience! Videos are well done and so informative. Just purchased your book and looking forwarding to learning so much more about gardening.

[@cjsalzman1000]

Gary, Your video was an excellent learning experience for this first year gardener. Thanks so much.

[@alexandralipovich3241]

Thank you always for posting! Love you!

[@TheCrystalice4]

Beautiful results and great info

[@RodeoCowgirl-55]

I just bought your book. I just moved back in February and had to start all over again with garden and dirt so next year hopefully it would be lot better than this year.

[@deecooper1567]

Hmm, didn’t know that they can reroot like that ! Never too old to learn something new . Great vid 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@ricktarded5943]

Dude, you taught more in this video about squash and zucchini than most college professors teach in a semester.

[@haircuthunny26]

Wow! This was SO HELPFUL! I never knew about squash bug eggs and pruning zucchini and squash dead and wilted leaves. Really appreciate your time making this video!

[@slhemp3556]

I really enjoy listening to you talk about gardening. I don’t like yellow summer squash, but your tip on how to use them based on their age (salads & stews) is a strategy that I hadn’t considered. I’m and audio/visual learner, but I’m buying your book today. You are appreciated.

[@douggibson9084]

Great information video, thanks.

[@cathyrodeheaver8694]

Loved this. So simply informative.
