Garden Tour and Tips for Growing Squash

Tips, Tricks

1. oh!!!!!! Your garden is gorgeous!!! AAAAAAND :-) Id love to have a hat like that for being out in the garden. Do you remember where you got it? Id love to go get one for myself. <3
2. You had a really pretty garden this year!!
3. Nice garden and video.....what part of Idaho are you? I'm North Idaho and wish I could grow a garden this amazing..good job!!!
4. Marvelous garden! What a blessing you have. I've grown banana squash for years and I've found all my vining plants do well on a stock panel cut in half so it's 8ft high and 5ft wide. The squash will climb up and over the top and make lots of squash which hang and do not fall off. I harvest after the fall frost when the plants have reached maturity. Butternut squash seems to thrive on the panes and there's no loss of ground due to water damage this way. Saves lots of space in your garden to plant other veggies. The Japanese have taught us how to plant vertical gardens that work. The French has taught us how to plant in deep holes developed so you only water the holes and then use the vertical panels in combination. They usually don't cultivate due to hard-pan earth so the holes are the only growing media. I've been told that the squash will fall off but it doesn't. I plant all my vining plants vertically and I've learned to trust nature to do the rest. Less insects too. Great video and I got excited because you are so happy. God Bless! Always glad to see you and Julianne having fun together!
5. Please tell me what kind of sunflowers you have!
6. The garden looks fabulous. Are the dark red flowers on the right at 5:47 gladiolus?
7. You have an awesome garden Melanie! good job all your hard work shows. Those golden squash with the ridges on skin looks like a Hubbard Squash, Hubbard Squash is one of the winter squashes best for storage normally they last longer than acorn/buttercup squash and sweet mama squash. Also putting squash at the ends of your rows is good for two reasons 1. You normally have the room there 2. Squash keep predators out of the garden like racoons away from corn, the racoons and other small legged animals do not like walking through the prickly vines of the squash so they will go around. Gardening is a lifelong learning experience it takes time to figure it out, and when you think you got it figured out, guess what?  Keep smiling!
8. Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Whatever you are doing is working.

14. Melanie Lynn -- such a pretty name. There is one thing that you should know about me. I will be your biggest cheerleader, I will be you biggest fan, I will be there to support you when I can. (Yes I am attempting to lose a couple -like 40 pounds - so I won't be your biggest any more) Having been married to a woman with Fibromyalgia and being from Rochester MN (home of the Mayo Clinic) I can relate all too well with the trials you are going through. Having raised a daughter that was allergic to wheat, dairy, nuts, and having severe Asthma, I have a very solid base of knowledge on what you are going through. Seeing you smile on the good days is pure magic. Knowing that you have bad days just makes me pray harder for you.
    
    You are an amazing woman, mom, and wife. I will always be here if you ever need a prayer, or just support.
    I know where you are, I know where you are going, I know what you will be faced with.
    Never be afraid to reach out and ask for prayer, love, compassion, or just someone to say -- I know.
    
    God Bless you my daughter, for we are all children of God.
    Plus -- I am definitely old enough to be your father.
    The best is yet to come. Trust in that, believe in that, and know that God has placed people on this Earth today to support you in every way possible.
    
    God Bless You
    And know that when it is the darkest, reach out, there are those of us who are light houses to guide you.
    And remember, that the Lord Jesus is the truth, the light, and the way home.
15. JUST a Pleasure to SEE. THANK YOU for your Tour and such wonderful squashes. Those sunflowers look Great. MANY THANKS
16. Great garden!!!!!!!!! =)
17. Great video.Your garden is looking fantastic. Well done.
18. Your garden is beautiful. I have squash envy. I didn't grow winter squash this year as we let one area of the garden go fallow and we didn't have the room. But next year I'll have it again. Have you had calendula tea? It is really good. I like it on its own or mixed with bee balm petals and yarrow.
19. Just a wonderful beautiful video. To see the joy and glow of happiness on your face is priceless. Your garden is truly beautiful. I am always amazed at what God brings forth out of a little seed and a hole in the ground. I love these video's they are just fun. I do not know how you do it, gardening is not easy work. Lots of bending and pulling and digging. But your gardens are just wonderful.
