    Thanks for the tips on canning pumpkins. We ended up with around 50 pumpkins this year ๐Ÿ˜. 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.

    Your pumpkin soup looked delicious. Excited to learn from you how the Gete-Okosomin tasted. Native Americans mustโ€™ve set great store on the taste given their centuries of hand pollination.

    Looks like RJ has reached over 1000 followers now! A super young man.

    No one knows more than me, that pork needs to be cooked all the way thru. It's way different than beef steak safety wise. Both uncooked or raw pork and undercooked pork are unsafe to eat. Meat sometimes has bacteria and parasites that can make you sick. Thorough cooking kills any germs that might be present. I only say this to help. I love your channel by the way.

    I've seen you use that lid/can opener, I like it a lot. Do you know where you got it. It looks like it doesn't make any dents in the lid. The one I have makes a small dent in the lid when I remove it. Thanks, love your channel, you guys work well together in the Kitchen! Nancy from nebraska

    I enjoy watching your video and I really agree with you that we have an opportunity to be up lifting on social media. There is so much that is bad on Facebook YouTube and other social media sites thanks for trying to balance it out with positive and encouraging videos.
    That rare squash is so awesome hope next year you are able to get more to grow. Where did you get your seeds?

    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.

    WOW what a pumpkin, you should be very very proud of yourself. That soup looked amazing but unfortunately in our current temps there is no way I could eat hot soup hahaha. RJ is a wonderful little boy & his parents should be so proud of themselves, I have subscribed & am enjoying watching him. Cheers Denise- Australia
