Bravo, Ted!!! If you can keep the squash bugs out of your garden, squash plants can go wild producing. I hope you continue to be able to keep your kids healthy. That includes keeping them off screens (ipad, phone, computer), limit the time. Get them in the garden with you and the kitchen. God bless.

Had a customer drop me off a bag today. Also in Tennessee (transplant...) You have a wonderful, soothing voice by the way.

Honestly Kaye, I'm glad to see you freezing. I know everyone is against it because of electricity failing, but that's what generators are for! I always freeze!

Such a wonderful video! Reminds me of my grandma having me shuck bushels of corn on the porch and helping her can everything. Thought grandma was going overboard but I taste the difference when we grow and harvest our own food vs store bought which makes you want to freeze or can everything possible

Absolutely love these cooking segments... please do more of them if possible. ❤️ Btw... yellow squash is one of my all time favorites.

Hi Kaye! New subbie here. I love yellow squash and zucchini. I planted my first garden this year. Well, fifteen 10 gallon grow bags. I started a bit late in the season so I just a couple days ago harvested my first zucchini and my first summer yellow squash. So exciting! Ate the zucchini this evening. So good! Looking forward to watching your other vids.

I froze summer squash for years . My favorite food is fried summer squash every morning.This year squash bugs killed them all quickly ,I never liked frozen squash as it was mushy when heated after freezing . I now grate the squash and salt it then refrigerate overnight . I rinse the salt out in plain cold water the next day then squeese out all the liquid i can before packing it in zip lock bags . I steam it as a veg or add it to soups or breads in the winter... much better and not soggy. I tried dehydrating it too but did not care for it rehydrated .

Where do you buy your squash seeds. Do you use raised beds or grounds.

@Latebloomershow

I buy from a number of different seed sources, and am given seeds as well. That yellow squash I had to buy from the Amish because I didn't grow any of that. I did grow a lot of winter squash in the ground. I do have raised beds as well. I encourage you to look at my most recent video which gives a good idea of all my gardens. Thanks!

So im confused. Ive seen videos of some blanching before freezing squash and some just freeze them without blanching so which is the right way?

@Latebloomershow

Жыл бұрын

I don’t think there’s a wrong or a right I think you can do it either way.

I didn't plant any yellow squash this year, either. I didn't even think of it. I froze about 25 pounds of tomatoes and picked another 25, picked and froze a pound of okra and harvested delicata, Cushaw, spaghetti and Pa. Dutch crookneck squashes and put them on the porch ahead of all this rain. I've heard anywhere from 3-10 inches forecast. I have two almost ripe cantaloupe I don't know whether to pick or not. I've always let them ripen on the vine, but the last two I picked after rains had very little flavor and so much water that it gushed out when I cut them open. Eggplant and peppers are flooding in and I am the only one who eats the eggplant. Do you have a favorite way to preserve them?

@@Latebloomershow I am on my 2nd Food Saver. My mom used Seal-a-Meal growing up and it worked great. They got bought out and were off the market a long time and now that brand is sold again . I can only comment on Food Saver. My first one I had probably 15 years and wore it out...my 2nd one I have had 10 + years and it is going strong. Use it all the time, especially in the summer. I flash cook many veggies, drain and quick freeze on a tray, they when frozen put in a Food Saver bag vacuum bag and use the machine. I have food in the deep freezer 3 years processed that way and it still tastes great when I take it out. The trick is to flash cook, drain well, blot off as much water as you can, quick freeze on a cookie sheet the veggie, then bag and vacuum seal. Best of luck!
