Mrs. H. sang "Thunder and Lightning"! That's Knock on Wood. Now, I'll have that song in my head for a day...Eddie Floyd & Otis Redding sang it, back in the day...Then, Amii Stewart covered it in 1979...📻 🎼🎵🎶 God bless you two and your loved ones...

You two are the epitome of the American Spirit. I love you.

The wind blew The stuff flew And there stood you. That’s what our old neighbor would say about me when I was younger.

[@melinda3196]

WOW...those are HUGE

[@janetquinn5809]

We love you yall ❤️

[@Fl-Mamabear]

I can't wait to see your videos of cooking and preserving your cushaw. I'm growing them for the first time now.

[@Snafu___]

You two are the cutest couple. Love y’all and GOD bless.

[@annphilbeck5174]

so excited I'm growing them because of you.

We harvested our cushaw today. One was split, so we cooked it today. It was 30" long, 31 1/2" around and weighed 18.05 lbs. We took seeds out, halved the big end, roasted in oven with avocado oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder... when it was done, we scraped it into a bowl and added butter, and sour cream. It tastes like a baked potato... but healthier! The neck section, we peeled, cubed and roasted in oven with a little avocado oil, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and brown sugar Splenda. After they got tender, we added butter and mashed it all together...it was so good. Like sweet potatoes! We left our biggest in our garden to see how big it will get. We ordered seeds from you and planted 4 hills with 2 in each hill. We ended up with 26 counting the one we left in garden... So excited to see how big it will get!

I just seeded 3 short maturity varieties of summer squash

[@skatt2858]

One year someone brought us a whole lot of these to our school kitchen. We cooked them in steamer and kids ate them!

[@susanwesterfield6953]

Do I win a prize?? I guessed Thunder at 21lbs.!!! Great job guys. Love your channel!

[@patriciaeasterday2125]

I grew up in the South. Mommy and Daddy grew many squash. Daddy's favorite was the Cushaw! I loved those winter squash Ever hear of a Permillion? Grows as large as a watermelon! After cutting into a squash, do you freeze part for future? You are good farmers!

[@lt3943]

I had never heard of cushaw until finding this channel. You both inspire me 🥰🥰

[@lindaseel9986]

Cushaw is a Native American type of squash. So are the Patty Pan types. 😀

[@aynduncan6134]

Bought a cushaw this year and saved the seeds to plant next year. My mom used to cook them all the time when I was a kid!

[@denisedonaldson5825]

I need some of those seeds. I must try these🤗

[@babydolllovegrammyjanette9040]

I wish I could do a garden, but darn neighbor's cats dug it up!

My grandfather always took care of problems like that with a 22 short.

[@marycook9607]

We are growing the Cushaw next year. I would like to see you grow Blue Hubbard winter squash. I was raised on those, and they get really big as well.😊😊❤❤

Please do a video making this vegetable,

[@JubeeBijou]

Thanks for this video - answering questions and harvesting tips. Y’all are so cute!

[@chrisgreen177]

I absolutely love Georgia weather and Thunderstorms, that's why I would definitely have a screened in porch so that I can just sit out there while the winds blow, the rain crashes down and the thunder rolls. That is when I actually feel I can talk to God The Almighty and thank him for everything He does. It's my peaceful and humble time to reverend in his might.

[@andrew69novak]

It's amazing how long a squash can last. Taste great and keep so long, got to love that...

[@Mimito5]

I’m so grateful to have found you! Y’all are absolutely amazing with your farm and knowledge! I just made 14 qts of your pasta sauce! Thank you both so much for being such incredible farmers!

Thank you so much

[@yvonnegathing3634]

I'm telling you I was about to wet my pants laughing at Mr. H. Mr. H. was not playing he was getting out of dodge but he hung on in there like a champ with Mrs. H. and that's what true love really looks like y'all. I love them both and all they bring to us. Thanks Mr&Mrs. H💙🙏

I hope to have them in our shop around November/December.

Great harvest. I ordered seeds but never got around to planting, so I will try to grow next year. Glad y’all are getting some cool weather. Send some to Texas. 😃

[@dragonslayer7587]

I'm sitting in the same chair you are, the same color, and watching these wonderful squash! On Grams farm, we ALWAYS saved our veggies in the root cellar with the, jars, hams and pork belly. I know the larger squashes last until after Christmas. We used to split them, remove the seeds, and turn them upside down on a big cookie sheet, put them in the oven, and roast them. We added brown sugar, butter, salt & pepper... I could eat an entire squash alone, if Gram would have let me! I love these things! I know some folks fermented them, some freeze them, but they lasted long enough for us to get to the holidays before we had to switch to canned veggies. {Other than tomatoes}... I'm so glad to see these squash, I wish I could jump in the old truck and pop up to your house! Great job! #GrowYourGroceries!

Good Afternoon.

Awesome video….I’m looking forward to the preservation methods and canning video for this crop

[@hamfox9714]

We just ate a butternut squash that we harvested the first week of November of 2023, it is 07/29/23. It still probably had a few weeks left. If your putting back fresh food ya gotta have plenty of winter squash and pumpkins.

[@dee2busy]

You should save the seeds from the 1 yr old and see if they grow.....a little experiment

[@KatMac5]

The inside of the 1 year old has a HEART shape !

[@suegeorge998]

Hi Mr. and Mrs. H! I grew the seeds that I got from you. I got 9 of those monsters and I'm going to give 2 away to my friends and then I'm going to can some of them for later and make fried pies out of them. I couldn't be happier with them and I'm going to grow them every year. The leaves alone are seriously the size of a dinner plate.

[@cynthiafed]

You two are adorable. Thank you for sharing the information that this is a squash and is edible, and how to cook & preserve it.

[@cadillac7568]

Great job much love ❤️

Mr and Mrs H, I planted my chushaw late in mid May. I have only looks like male blooms on the plant right now so I am still waiting for visible signs of squash development.

[@ann-or6ev]

Nice seeing more of Mr H😊

Fantastic! Just like being on Mawmaw's side porch with a glass of her homemade lemonade, snapping beans shelling peas, getting tomatoes ready to can! That is heaven to me!💖

I agree with you. Those memories are precious and priceless.

[@GodsDesire4me]

Hey there ❤growing my groceries ❤

[@scottbiz1127]

I'm so unhappy that I had to drop out of the cushaw grow off. I had bought the seeds from you guys because I seen your video from last year. I told myself I'm going to grow some squash this year. Well all my squash plants was growing good. I had planted 5 of each different of the 5 squash seeds that I bought from you guys. I was only able to harvest 3 spaghetti squash because the rodents and squirrels took out the rest of my squashes only with digging up my gardens as well. This is the second year that I'm seem to have no luck in garden out of my 6 years of gardening. Hopefully next year garden will be a great success, since the next door neighbors will be moving. This way I don't have to worry about their junkie yard housing rodents anymore. Well as always it is delightful to watch y'all channel. Thank you both and stay safe!!

[@scottbiz1127]

@@raynonabohrer5624 There's a lot of cats in my neighborhood but they seem to be begging for food instead of hunting. I'm going to start adding catnip along my fences. Hopefully that will encourage them to hang around my yard.
