This day is all about the Pumpkin - and what's funny, we actually filmed this on National Pumpkin Day! Who knew right. We're going to process our Gete Okosomin Squash, and all of our pumpkins and prep them for the pressure canner. And we'll also make some wonderful autumnal Pumpkin Soup, and grill some pork tenderloins our on the grill for dinner. This a fun video, there's even a special guest about mid-way through ♥

Thanks for the tips on canning pumpkins. We ended up with around 50 pumpkins this year 😁. I have discovered a great way to grow them. I make a 5 ft circle of chickenwire in the fall . I put landscape fabric on the inside and cardboard and start a hugel mound in it. Layers of corn stacks leaves and grass , then chickens bedding. I will add weeds, leaves , old tomato plants,sticks, wood chips or shredded paper. I keep layering it until it comes to the top. It sits all winter. It will sink to around 1/2 of what you started with. I save leaves and grass in plastic bags over the winter to add to my circles, I will add more chicken bedding, layer finished compost on the top then potting mix if needed. I use the top of this planter for strawberries and I plant the pumpkins plants or seeds at the base- the giant compost fertilizes the plants all season. You need about 20-30 ft around the hugel circles. I had 2 pumpkin plants at the base on opposite sides . Left me room to pick strawberries. I do this in my chicken yard. I had 3 circles and 6 plants that really produced. Last year we had 60 pumpkins. I gave a lot away. We and the chickens eat them all wInter. Happy growing everyone.

Wow! Thank you. I struggle growing pumpkins. I wonder if this would work in a very dry/hot area?

@qweeknee4208 2 жыл бұрын

Is the landscape fabric lining the circle or just at the bottom?

@RunninUpThatHillh Жыл бұрын

Qweeknee the hugelkulture (sp?) actually works really well at keeping moisture. Should be great for your area.

My family's favorite pumpkin meal is "Dinner in a Pumpkin". I have modified it to be similar to Shepherd Pie. Filling recipe is basically rice(cooked), mushrooms, mushroom soup, celery, onion, red bell peppers. Ground meat (we use venison) Soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar. Either stuff your pumpkin and bake, or I put in casserole dish and cover with mashed pumpkin and bake.

My husband and I love to watch you guys. He said that we are a lot alike so I needed to share my latest discovery when processing my pumpkins in NC. When making pumpkin butter and pumpkins chunks were cooked through, the juice in the crock pot was saved to be used as broth in other dishes. Used in Jambalaya and it was GREAT. Wanted to share this detail with you.

Always good to see yawl!!!!! Cant believe people will buy pumpkins and just leave out on the front porch to rot. Hard to grow here in the central Texas heat so lot's of churches bring in and make a pumpkin patch to sell and raise money. We have grown but it's difficult. We always get a few and Rochelle will have me cut up and we can a freeze. I like to blanch a 2x4 piece and grill it, it's great! We subscribed to RJ's Farm and excided to help him. We are also thinking of starting our own page but I need to learn how to set it all up. Weather here is finally cool and the Fall/Winter garden is off to a good start. From our family to yours God Bless. Mike and Rochelle

I have been making pumpkin soup and chili for a few years. A lot of folks think it's so odd, since pumpkin is for pies. Boy, are they missing out on some good tasting soup on those cool/cold days of fall and winter. I love how homesteading youtubers are sharing what to do with what you store. It is helping the person new to gardening or homesteading realize there is more than making sure your pantry/store room is full. It also gives those who aren't new to homesteading diffhomesteaders. Thank you for all you do. And special thank you for incouraging a enthusiastic young man to becoming a future homesteader.

Pumpkin soup is a staple winter dish here in Australia. I just do mine with some garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, (to taste) and curry powder fief off with pumpkin chunks at the beginning. A little chicken stock to cook the pumpkin till tender. Blend all together and top with cream or even plain yogurt. Yummo! This is the first time watching your channel as I’m canning pumpkin for the first time today. I’ve subscribed and will be watching lots more of your videos. Thanks for doing them.
