The Great Cushaw Grow-Off ~ HARVEST TIME! 2023

[@JubeeBijou]

I’m in zone 7b in northeast TN. Our Cushaw are beautiful, glory to God! Looking forward to the harvest. And y’all’s Cushaw 😮 what a blessing! Thanks for sharing.

[@lwallace3842]

You two are adorable together

[@juliadinet3857]

Great 👍.

[@dianawilliams-coe7747]

I’m in Indianapolis so it’s not time to pull the Cushaw yet. But happy to see all the Cushaw you get.. I only planted 2 plants and counting 10 Cushaw so far.

[@susanhartwig2216]

I just want to say that I absolutely love your channel! I love how cute you are Mrs. H.. You love the animals, and I love how you joke around with them and also your hubby. I love how your handsome hubby, Mr. H., helps you in all things gardening, you're respectful interactions, and it is VERY apparent that you both love each other VERY much! Even though you live much farther South than me here in Buffalo, NY, I value your advice and expertise on many things. I myself have been gardening since I've been 4 or 5, and I will be 55 this year. We are always learning as gardeners, aren't we? Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I adore you both. You have become my favorite gardening channel because you keep it real, and I love watching you both be cute and silly too. Please keep bringing this beautiful content. I love you both. Peace and blessings to you both!❤

[@kimberlygodbold880]

My mama taught me about Cushaws. She found some seeds in an old country feed and seed! We planted them and boy was that some GOOD earring! She said that the seeds were hard to find! I have to order mine online! I didn’t get to plant them this year because my cousin who helped me plant the garden passed last year and I had some health issues. But next year I will plant mine!!! My mama passed in 2021 so you brought back memories for me today being in the garden with her and enjoying the fruits of our labor! Thanks so much!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏾💯

[@jennbama]

Save those seeds next time you plant and you will have them every year. Those special Mama memories are so sweet ❤

[@Lovetogarden63]

HI Mr and Mrs H what a great Cremshaw harvest. I have never tasted them maybe next year. I will grow them.l will try to find one to taste them to see if l would like it first.

[@kimberlygodbold880]

@@Lovetogarden63 you will. They’re wonderful in pies. It’s a light, clean taste! It’s not as heavy as some pumpkins taste. I hope you enjoy it!

[@kimberlygodbold880]

@@jennbama thank you! I will! That’s how I learned to garden; being outside with my mama and my grandma! We always had a garden and what we didn’t grow, we picked it out of somebody else’s garden or went to the farmers market! But my mom and grandma always tried to make sure we had Fresh vegetables and fruit to eat!

[@jackiestephenson7329]

Looks like Mr. H is walking real good. Praise God for a complete healing.

[@beccagee5905]

Ooooh Mrs. H the orange hat is definitely your color 💕 Love the great Cushaw harvest! What a blessing.

[@terryl.9302]

Yes Mr. H. That hat is You !!! Almost a 1940s fedora from the front.

[@KatMac5]

That orange cat came running at you from under the vines, Mrs. H, I thought it was a Cushaw coming to life in rebellion of the harvest! lol 😆😆❤

[@phylliskumi4355]

Lol😂

[@kskorner74]

one fruit can provide so much food, amazing

[@gaylemartin3094]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I’m voting for you guys to share how Mrs. H. Cooks using your harvest. We need a series. That would be AWESOME!! I for one had never heard of Cushaw until I found your videos. Now I’m curious as to what you do with it all. Please consider. I for one would tune in. WAIT!!! I need to go get my journal for the new recipes I’m going to learn from you. 😉 😆😆

[@raynonabohrer5624]

You was bringing the them so fast I lost track. Had my own little contest going. You too are adorable.

[@rosaramirez1594]

Love you guys beautiful what you are doing good vegetables ❤️ you are my favorite love gardening

[@blackbette07]

First I have ever heard of cushaw. I did Google it and found out that it tastes like a cross between pumpkin and butternut squash. I would sure like to try that pie.

[@kimberlygodbold880]

It’s DELICIOUS! I Promise You won’t be disappointed!!!

[@sandramoultrie2794]

I live in Washington, DC, so I need to find where I can purchase cushaw locally. I'll love to taste it or even bake a pie.

[@resurrectionsunday4164]

I’m so glad the rabbits left y’all’s kushaw alone. What a beautiful harvest. I know it’s hard work but you make it look so easy. Watching your progress is very encouraging!

[@judyabernathy80]

Great job, y’all! Those are gorgeous cushaw!! You two are so precious together! You crack me up! Can’t wait to see what you do with all of it - other than give to your relatives! 💔🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼💔

[@bumblebee7922]

WOW! What a HUGE haul! Gorgeous!!! Love the story of when you were little and the neighbor/friend would bring lots over for your family to enjoy. Awww..... What a blessing THAT was. How special to carry on the tradition of growing Cushaws. You two are just SO cute together.. Blessings....

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

My expartner and I wnet bankrupt with our business... the relationship failed while i was pregnant and now a single mom to a beautiful baby boy.... Lost our home... and where i Live now i cant grow my own food... i do grow my own herbs because i know how packed they are with vitamins and i grow like al lot of microgreens in my kitchen for extra nutritional value... we do try and count our blessings each day and thank God that we are still here and are rebuilding our lives slowly but steady.... I just wanted to say thank you... Your videos Mrs and Mr H. really lift me up when i am feeling heavy hearted and your succes feels like my succes... and i know that there must be more viewers out there that pull strength from these video's... So without you probably realizing... you guys make such a difference in my life ... thank you so much!! I love you guys so much!! God Bless 😘😘😘

[@shelbymeadows7019]

WOW great harvest! Let me get back to work! Thanks for showing your harvest! Can’t wait to see how you prepare it!❤️❤️🌹🌹🙏🏾🐩🌿

[@judifarrington9461]

Because of you, we are growing Cushaw squash this year in zone 6b. I'm so excited to see the fruit coming on. The fruit is about a foot long--even with high heat and no rain.

[@cbass2755]

I'm 6b too! Southeast Michigan. I haven't grew them but next year I am

[@imkrafty2424]

Glad to know we can grow them in zone 6!

[@GodsDesire4me]

Beautiful harvest. Praise God. I will try my hand at it next year ❤

[@lwallace3842]

😮they are large enough to feed yourself several meals a week

[@ceceliacrockett9086]

Oh my goodness I haven’t had a cushaw pie in 40 years. My Mom was from Louisiana and she cooked them all the time when I was young. I can’t find them in Kansas. I’m watching and loving your channel and expertise. What a pleasant blast from the past. Thank you!

[@ceceliacrockett9086]

People around here don’t even know what a cushaw is. Almost better than sweet potato pie.

[@JoyceMooreUrbanPatch]

I'm going to try making a pie. That sounds good!

[@dbruce5760]

I'm from Louisiana as well. Never had a cushaw pie but sounds great! I remember as a child my mom cutting them, scoring the flesh and baking them in the oven with butter and sugar. I remember scraping the rind with a spoon trying to get the last bit. So yummy. I am so happy to see them grown on here and meeting others who remember cushaws from childhood. ❤

[@OrganicMommaGA]

I got my seeds from Baker Creek Rare Seeds just this week... (so will grow next year). Cushaw pie sounds like it might taste a bit like a cross between sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie (both family favorites here).

[@bumblebee7922]

@@ceceliacrockett9086 I had never heard of them either until watching their channel. I lived in NJ and PA my whole life. I love all kinds of squash though.

[@BrokeFarmer]

Harvested 3 big cushaws, those are huge awesome harvest

[@zathras2010]

I planted my first Cushaw this year from seeds I got from your store. I’m in Virginia 7A and I finally have a couple of small ones growing on the vine. I hope and pray the squash bugs leave it alone so I can get a harvest. I’m excited for this one

[@karenhuedepohl1705]

Oh my goodness, this crop looks like it’s bigger than last year‘s! It brings a smile to my face to watch you two Work together on your property. I always wanted to do that with my family, but didn’t get the chance. But it’s OK, KZbin has brought me there lol. I can’t grow this on my apartment balcony ha ha ha, but I can definitely enjoy watching y’all do it!👍. Hugs to each of you and thank you so much for inviting us into your lives❤🤗

[@rhondahuber6412]

PRAISE THE LORD!! What a bounty He has bestowed upon you & Family 🎉🎉🎉

[@Murphis55]

Good to see you guys are continuing heirlooms. Please please save the seeds and either sell or pass them around. In rough times this type of food can be priceless. Wish I had a garden like yours. God bless and a bountiful sowing and reaping to you. Greetings from south jersey. I never get results like you guys cause I have to many white pine trees and don’t want to cut them down. So I use what parts of the yard I can. This yr is not happening due to health issues but some stuff reseeded itself so I still get the benefits. Be well. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🐾🐾🐾

[@marybuchanan8129]

Amazing. I bought your seeds. Cant wait to plant them. Yay!

[@vfranc0]

04:49 well...I've just spotted one little critter hidding in those high grasses...and he has sharp claws, be careful out there😻😉

[@prayergirl9830]

Great harvest. Glad Mr. H seems to be doing better but I did notice him holding you when the cat was under your feet. 😁❤

[@BpGardening]

Cushaw have vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C, It also have minerals, carotene in it Very good for you 😊 ❤

Thanks to yours videos, I finally ordered (and received) my Cushaw seeds! I don't think we have enough time left to grow them out this year (north GA, zone 7a/b), but we will definitely be growing them in the spring! Looking forward to seeing what all to do with the harvest. Also - good to see Mr. H getting around so well now!

[@sandyperreault9326]

I live in central Missouri where the Amish grow and sale them in their roadside stands. Love it.

Mrs. H..I have tons of cushaw ..huge in my patch .zone 6..I don't think they're ready..never grew before..but did so according to your recommendation.....lu in idaho

[@vickicarter60]

We had an amazing harvest! We planted 8 seeds and harvested 25! We gave several away and canned 1, which gave us 5 quarts! We've only cooked one and fed my husband and I and my oldest son's family of 7! We ordered our seeds from you. We love watching you and Mr. H! We are in Hogansville, GA, about 100 miles north west of you all. Our largest Cushaw was: 23.4 lbs. 24" long 33" circumference I just sent you an email with pics. I emailed earlier, but just realized I sent to a wrong email address, so I resent it today.

[@KatMac5]

Never heard of Cushaw! Thanks for the information and the fun video of another harvest!

[@kathyallison1471]

WOW ! I didn't know what a Cushaw was , great job ! 👍😃

[@CherokeeWarriorWoman]

I have no idea what it is or how to grow it? I guess you cook it up and can it for making pies like pumpkin? I'm in Kentucky and zone 6 so I'm trying to struggle keeping ants off of my cantaloupe vine. I have 2 little fruits. I hope I can get them to the biggest I can. Stupid ants! I put out red hot pepper sauce around them but it rained so have to redo it again. Fingers crossed. 👍
