I had a butternut last 18 months, just sitting on the counter. The heat in the house was 68 degrees.

1:55 Sibley Squash (Cucurbita Maxima) , 3:42 Jarrahdale pumpkin (cucurbita maxima), 5:45 Hopi pale grey squash () , 8:19 Seminole Pumpkin (cucurbita moschata), great info, and also good extra info in the other comments! I live in the Northern FL panhandle and had someone give me a seminole pumpkin last week which was about twice the size of my head and they taste great, I didn't know the name of the species until you mentioned them here and i went searching and saw a picture of one grown locally that was the same as the one given to me... what are the odds?! :)

Great ideas for long term food

The leaves are tasty as well .

Who knew a pumpkin and squash video could be so interesting. Now I want to know more about more pumpkins and squash

I just checked on a squash yesterday I have in the basement it's been one year doing good butternut, and Jackie clay is a legend, back home Woods magazine I believe she was teaching her granddaughter or grandson back in the day LOL save seeds wonderful magazine

there is only one problem with squash: they take a lot of room! one vined over to my neighbor and I told them since it grew on their side of the fence it would be theirs, but they did not want it - lucky me :)

I was able to purchase all of those seeds shown on this video last year for the exact reason as you. I recently turned one of my spare rooms into a grow room so beginning in mid February I will begin to start growing some of those squash that require the long growing season. Hopefully they will grow and produce very well.

Great video. Another good variety is Cushaw (Cucurbita argyrosperma). The fruits grow huge and easily store for a year or more. Look them up if you're not familiar with the variety, I think you might like them.

Be sure and look up J Landgraff _Landrace Gardening_ . You won't need to be so particular about keeping squash separate. He was trained as a chemist and looks at increasing genetic diversity of his crops by mixing it all and keeping what works for the next year, explaining many of the heirloom varieties have become 'thin like too little butter spread on too much toast' (Tolkien).

Great video. You can also eat the tips of the shoots like spinach.

Excellent information! Thank you!!

I just love your videos !!! I live in northern Minnesota and have a hard time growing some squash so I’m excited to hear about those Minnesota people, have to go back and write that info down !!!! Thank you and blessings

Thank You! We grow a lot of winter squash. We went and ordered one of the varieties.

A few varieties to add I would also suggest Black Futsu, Musque de Provence, Marina Di Chioggia and Triamble.

Just had to say I'm really enjoyig your content...super useful and interesting, you can see how much work you put into the videos..keep doing what you are doing sir

Awesome Info, I saw that on David the Good's channel about the Seminole pumpkins but can't seem to find them myself.

Thanks for details 👏👏👏

I'll try the Sibley this year if I can get the seeds.

Well that was one of great video. 💗🍈

You are doing a great job here - very interesting stuff! I think my daughter knows you guys. We bought a 62 acre island on a lake in the Canadian wilderness. Would love to speak with you about some of your strategies sometime! Take a look at our channel if you have time too :)

the seeds for the 2 year lasting squash, i am in canada, how can i get these seeds?

Common Butternut will store for a year.

Is the hopi orange squash the same as the hopi gray ? Looks like the gray is really hardcto find seeds

That jarradale looks like sweet meat

I have never seen any of these. We love squash. Is your heater wood or gas? I say wood but my husband says it’s gas logs. Who’s right? 😂

Born to early to explore the stars, born too late to explore the west. Born just in time to prepare for a great depression!

If you are going to cut squash you should upgrade to a stronger and larger knife. Otherwise an informative video

Is cross pollinating a really bad thing?

Psalm 23 King James Version 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord fo ever. Lord, please clear our families credit and prepare us for our country on our own property without renting before it is to late.
