TRAITS of Cherokee Tan Pumpkins | Male vs Female BLOOMS | WHEN to HARVEST

Loved the history lesson. Trail of Tears needs the history told any way there is!

[@michelep1130]

Love the history of the Cherokee tan pumpkins and their prolific growing pattern. Ty Danny.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

I bought your seed last year and planted. These are AMAZING! They really need room so that’s what I gave em and they’re gorgeous and growing pumpkins like crazy. Next year they will get planted in my food forest under every tree and in numerous compost piles and I can’t wait to see them GO! Thank you so very much for spreading such goodness to us out here, we do living history and know the importance of keeping these alive and the knowledge going onward to our children.

[@DeepSouthBamaGRITS]

Thanks for that bit of history on the Cherokee Tan pumpkins! I'm part Cherokee Indian from North Carolina. Traced my ancestry years ago to find that my grandfathers people claimed to be FARMERS on the census to get out of being sent to the Oklahoma Cherokee Nation. By doing this, they relinquished their Cherokee heritage but were saved from the Trail of Tears journey. It is disappointing not to be able to LEGALLY claim my Cherokee heritage but in my heart I know that I am and that is all that matters to me. My Cherokee Tan pumpkins have gone slap crazy and have taken over the woodline by my garden area. They are growing up the trees, all over brush piles but have also crept up into my garden area to the point I can't get to several of my raised beds without stepping all over vines. I know one vine is over 200 ft long and is almost up to my pots of tomatoes & bell peppers up by my greenhouse. People are amazed at how this pumpkin vine has taken over, almost like kudzu!! I have seen several of the round balls with blooms so I know I will have pumpkins, if I can follow all the vines in the woods to harvest them. LOL!! I planted 4 seeds and they all sprouted and made vines so I am hoping to be very blessed with a nice pumpkin harvest. QUESTION: How would you save the seeds to plant for next year? Do you let one get really ripe and harvest those seeds or can you save the seeds from any of the pumpkins? I'm not wanting to sell them but have plenty for next year and to give to family.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I have a video on saving the seeds. I will have to go put it in the cards in this video. Thanks for the reminder. Check back in a while for the videos.

Thank you for the History of the Cherokee Tan Pumpkin, I got my order of 2 packets of see and plan on planting 5 - 7 of them next year... maybe at the tree line and see how they grow there. We bought 13 acers and are putting in a 1 acre garden 1 acre orchard 1/2 acre of herbs both culinary and medicinal. Lots of different berry vines and bushes, Pecan and Almonds will go in a sunk-in greenhouse, Walnuts and Hazel nut trees too.

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

Thank you for showing us the whole vine Danny. Mine tried to come back after the grasshoppers got them a few weeks ago so I can tell they are very hardy but there isn’t time for them to produce anything this year. So I got more seeds from you and will try again next year. Loved hearing about the history. I’m really praying I can grow these successfully and want to have a area in my garden dedicated to my Cherokee great grandparents. I think I found my great great grandfather on the Dawes list a few weeks ago. They were in Oklahoma and my great grandmother lived in Joplin MO after she grew up and got married. The records only go back as far as her father and his siblings and parents. Wish I could find out more but for now I will try and grow the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee Tans and the Danny Corn together. Looking very forward to that coming to life next year.

[@AMRADIO777]

I was hoping for a dedicated video on Cherokee Tan Pumpkin. Got my seeds from you. Early on when the vines were less than 10 ft I picked them up to cut the grass underneath, I didn’t know about the roots along the vine and they stopped blooming for 2-3 weeks, thought I ruined the plant. I didn’t disturb them again and they finally started to produce flowers again. There are at least 4 pumpkins so far. Thank You.

[@jtharp9265]

Hi Mr Danny, I purchased the Cherokee tan pumpkin seeds from you and Mrs Wanda. Oh my by November my husband had to go out there and harvest them as I had emergency back fusion , then ended up 5 weeks later my incision opened wide open and had 104.7 fever - I caught SEPSIS from the material ( rods, screws etc the orthopedic surgeon put in my back , plus he didnt use stiches or staples - my in home nurse even said it didnt look right ) A long story sir and Mrs Wanda. But ive been very ill since being off the IV antibiotic Rocephin i had to take in my vein daily for 6 weeks . So ive missed much of your great content the past few months . But wanted to tell you We still have some Cherokee tan pumpkins from Nov 2022 and its May 4th 2023 We ended up getting 22 pumpkins from me planting 6 seeds . My husband is gonna plant some more this weekend . We havent been able to have the huge Garden we had in past years & especially the 2 years before my injury . Im looking back on other ways to cook them and this content came up . God bless you & Mrs Wanda. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤ Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas ❤❤❤

[@GinaSiska]

My great grandma was from North Carolina and she was half Cherokee and and half English... My grandma told me that she could ‘drink the men under the table’, lol! I didn’t ask about the history of her family and I regret that. My grandmother did tell me that she married at age 13 so she would have enough food to eat and I thought that was very sad.

[@DeniseHuman]

Worms got to my Cherokee Tan pumpkins. Only got a 1/3 of what was produced. I was so mad...this is my first year gardening, but I'm working on my 3rd garden and building a hoophouse 32 x 16. Persistence!

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

In my small garden I plant chives, different varieties of onions, leeks, marigolds and onion chives. A lot of little bugs do not like these, neither do the rabbits. You can add garlic to that list. You can plant the root portions of green onions, they too come back in the spring. If you get tiny onions to plant at the nursery, they also are said to overwinter. Might look a little dry by now, so you might get a good deal. You can always mulch plants a little, before it gets mighty cold. Plant garlic cloves root side down, a thump deep and a handspan apart, around the time when frost starts happening. They develop a root system over the winter, that's the best way to do it. Or right away in the earliest spring if you missed that opportunity. ❤ Happy gardening to all, everyone and everywhere. ❤ Even with a few occasional challenges, or setbacks.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

If the bugs are getting in from the bottom I've put a small board or paving brick under them. Get them off the ground. I have problems with the grubs chewing into the bottoms of my squash. I also run my squashes up fencing. Those cattle panels tend to really hold the weight for me but I only grow smaller squash like honey nut and buttercup and after seeing the ones Danny is growing would be good on a fence.

In way up in Michigan and one of my squash vines just two weeks ago got excited and put on 5 new squashes. They quite big already and I'm hoping for a long warm fall since it's in a somewhat sheltered spot I've already decided to cover with frost cloth if it's only one or 2 cool nights in the hopes of stretching my season. I might try these Cherokee tans as I've got Cherokee Trail of Tears pole beans and they are the best dry bean I grow they can be eaten as green but I have others that I like better for green beans so I just let them go for dry beans.

@@Emeraldwitch30 Yes , good idea covering them for short frost . I'll have to try some of those Cherokee trail of tears pole beans , thanks.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@rodneysnextchapter615 the dry beans look like black kidney beans but a bit smaller and they cook up a deep brown. We use them for chili beans and in the mixed bean soup. The plants are beautiful too. The bean pods turn a rich ruby red as they age. They are good for greenbeans but i like the rattlesnakes pole beans a bit better flavor wise so the Trail of Tears end up for dry beans. I only grew out about 10 vines this year to refresh my seed stock as I had quite a few left from last year and needed to refresh several other pole bean seeds. Im kinda a seed hoarder! 🤫 I have the Anasazi beans out there too. But one of my other soup bean favorites just didn't grow this year so I'll have to see if I can find more stock. The Speckled Cranberry pole bean makes wonderful fat creamy beans i hadnt grown it in years due to losing the seeds. I might try planting out all the rest of the seex left and cross fingers next year. The worst thing is running out of garden space.
