  • Your videos are never “too long” (as you sometimes worry). And you are certainly not “boring” or “weird” - you are fabulous ! My hubby and I enjoy your videos so much . 😀

    Congratulations, Kevin! I got 5 squash but that was 5 more than I have ever had 😄
  • It is amazing how many squash you were able to grow from seeds. As a vegetarian I am delighted to see so much squash

    ❤❤ Loved this! I have lots of green ones and hoping to harvest like you did in 2020. It's September 7th, 2023 now and in Western NC.
  • Kevin, I enjoy your videos. You are not weird. You are delightful. 🧡
  • Kevin, this video almost made me cry from my past of growing butternut squash, which I had to grow on the ground. I was not able to put up a cattle grade like fencing material. It outgrew all the space in the 4x10 raised beds. Currently my property doesn't have the room to grow vegetables, but am in search of one that does. Thank you so much for the promise to grow again.

    First time planting butternut squash this year. I have the Butter Baby Butternut Squash -much smaller ones from one seedlings. After watching this, I will harvest them tomorrow.
  • Awesome Kevin. The plant Is straining to support the Butternut squash. Great idea to have it on a supporting frame off the ground ...❤❤
  • I really enjoyed your informative butternut squash harvesting video Kevin. What a great vegetable!

    I grew my first butternut squash this summer - they are surprisingly easy to grow and bring me so much joy - as has this video. Thank you so much, professor squash!!!
  • i'm from Swaziland...Africa....this very impressive i must say...i've also just begun growing butternuts this summer.....like your sense of humor too
  • Great video and commentary! I randomly planted butternut squash for the first time and it took over 25% of our yard’s lawn, but we let it grow. And grow. It eventually went about 15 feet into our neighbor’s yard too! Well worth it thanks to nearly 15 large squash.
  • You must be so proud! They are magnificent! Can't wait to see your recipes. Butternut squash is my favorite.

    That’s great! I have 8 this year and it’s been fun watching them grow in the garden❤ One year I had pumpkins growing in a tree ! It was really something! We called it the pumpkin tree ❤
  • I’ve watched this video several times and I’m going to plant butternut squash this year!❤ I normally purchase them from our local Mennonite community, but I have expanded my garden space. Also, I would love to see your “creepy Victorian cellar (I have one also😊) and your old kitchen wing ❤❤❤❤. You and your lovely videos are a bright spot in my day! 💕
  • I grew butternut squash for 2020 as well and I had more than I could store and consume. Gave away plenty. Thanks for showing us your amazing harvest!

    I'm getting ready to prepare my cattle panel trellises! I'm in the process of sprouting my squash seeds as well. I'm excited about the possibility of having my very own "butternut squash cathedral."
