Plant-based dairy category sees huge growth. TODAY'S MAIN TOPIC: When it comes to storing winter squash, you can extend its shelf life by providing the right conditions. Depending on the variety, most winter squash can last anywhere from one to six months when stored properly. The key is to keep them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, such as a pantry or cellar. Avoid storing them near fruits that release ethylene gas, like apples or bananas, as it can speed up the ripening process. It's also important to check the squash regularly for any signs of spoilage, such as soft spots or mold. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the rich, sweet flavors of winter squash well into the colder months. For longer storage, consider placing the squash on a raised surface to allow air circulation. Regularly inspect the squash for any signs of spoilage, and promptly remove any damaged ones to prevent it from affecting the rest. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the delicious flavors of fall squash throughout the season and beyond. As the autumn breeze starts to usher in cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage, it's time to embark on the yearly quest of finding fall squash for storage. With their sturdy exteriors and richly-hued interiors, these winter staples are nature's edible treasures. Wander through the farmers markets and local grocery stores, and you'll be greeted by an array of squash varieties, each one boasting its unique flavor profile and culinary possibilities. Delicata, butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash are just a few of the charming characters waiting to be plucked and brought home. Choose squash with firm skin, devoid of any blemishes or soft spots. Once selected, these exceptional gourds will transform into hearty soups, comforting roasts, and delectable side dishes during the colder months ahead. So, stock up on these fall gems, for your taste buds and pantry will be grateful all season long. Roast your favorite squash by peeling and seeding it, then cut into chunks and toss in olive oil, salt and pepper, place on parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 425 degrees for 35 minutes or until you achieve some “roasty” color and a fully cooked end product. These can be cooled and frozen for later use or mashed for a side dish to accompany many dishes such as roasted meats or to stuff into a burrito with black beans and chicken or to puree in a soup, trust me squash is versatile. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Living in the country has always made sense and as society continues its demise more and more people will seek refuge in the country, and I believe we are all better off that way. In recent years, there has been a remarkable phenomenon of Americans embracing the idea of starting small farms in the country, leading to a surge in numbers. This trend marks a significant shift in priorities and a reconnection with our agrarian roots. As people become increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable agriculture, the allure of cultivating one's own food and becoming self-sufficient has never been stronger. The appeal of a slower pace of life, reconnecting with nature, and knowing exactly where our food comes from has enticed Americans to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for the tranquility and purpose of rural living. This migration to the countryside not only fosters the growth of small-scale organic farms but also deepens the sense of community as like-minded individuals come together to support local agriculture. It is heartening to witness this movement, as it not only nourishes the land but also the souls of those who venture to live closer to the earth.

Autumn planting This week Richard has been turning his head to Autumn planting. A great time to plant some perennial plants which can establish themselves over winter. Richard has discovered over the years, that autumn planted plants need less work and are more successful. This is very apparent when he planted some asparagus in the autumn. This asparagus established itself strongly and is still going strong to this day. Another advantage to autumn planting perennial edible plants is that often they are cheaper to buy. Some come in bare rooted form which are incredibly cheap, but only available at certain times of the year. Are you spending this Autumn planting any edible perennial plants? Winter storage of squash plants. As we head into autumn many of our squashes become ripe and ready for storage. Stored correctly its possible to store squashes for a very long time and certainly to get through the winter. In this weeks podcast Richard shares how he harvests and prepares his squash plants for winter storage. Recipe of the week This weeks recipe of the week is a great way to use up lots of extra vegetables by making a dish called Ratatouille.

They come in a wild variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and winter squash are everywhere this time of year. In addition to their vibrant beauty, winter squash are versatile and nutritious. The stars of today's show are some of my favorite winter squash varieties--butternut, acorn, delicata, kabocha, Honeynut, spaghetti--and together with my two guests, we'll be sharing interesting ways to prepare winter squash that even your pickiest eaters will love. It's time for some winter squash wisdom!  My first guest today is Katie Morford, a registered dietitian, food writer, and cookbook author. She has a blog called Mom's Kitchen Handbook: Raising Fresh-food Kids in a French-fried World, and her recipes rock. Wait till you hear about Katie's recipe for Delicata Squash Tacos with Quick Pickled Onions. My second guest is the Executive Chef at Wilson Farm, a family farm located down the road from my home in Lexington, Massachusetts. Chef Raymond Ost was on the show last spring to talk about asparagus, and he's here again to share some of his favorite winter squash creations including a stuffed Honeynut squash recipe.

Although pumpkin and squash last for months in dry storage, preserving their freshness in a jar will ensure you may enjoy them well into next spring and summer! Having home canned pumpkin is a great alternative to store bought. In this episode, The Canning Diva® shares prepping and canning techniques to help you easily peel and cut pumpkins, squash and gourds and gives you safe canning advice. She also shares with you a popular recipe from her cookbook, The Complete Guide to Pressure Canning, Pumpkin with White Beans and Bacon. One of the most flavorful, yet simple canning recipes. Now, if you are not a meat eater – no worries, omit the bacon. Vegan? No problem, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Not a fan of pumpkin – not a problem, simply substitute the pumpkin with two medium butternut squash. The Canning Diva® teaches listeners how to create this hearty recipe to suite your lifestyle.

Crops We Don't Struggle Growing Like any long-time gardeners, we have our crops we consider ourselves experts at and those we struggle growing. There are many factors in determining what you are good at growing—things like your location, soil conditions, and the variety of seed. But sometimes, even in the perfect setting, you just can't seem to get a grasp on how to make a good crop. The following crops are some of the few things we at Hoss Tools consider ourselves pretty dang good at growing! For Travis, on that list is Carrots, Lettuce, Beets, Rutabagas, and Collards. For Greg, that consists of Tomatoes, Watermelons, Winter Squash, Corn, and Onions. In South Georgia, we are thankful to have weather conditions that allow us to grow this wide array of crops. Tips to Help you Not Struggle Growing these Crops! Over the years, we have learned a few tips and tricks as we became experts in those vegetables. Carrots, we have learned that growing them in a double row on drip tape seems to work best. Rutabagas also do great on drip tape because you can inject fertilizer directly to them. For lettuce, there are a few things you can do to make sure you have a crop on into April, such as using drip tape, stacking them in tight, and succession planting. Beets do best if you transplant them because that will give you a more consistent size. The last tip Travis had was with collards as they are easy to grow with the right variety you can grow for nine months out of the year. One type we recommend is the Top Bunch. Greg's tips were also simple ones, including feeding your tomatoes and corn hard with fertilizer in the beginning. With corn, you also want adequate watering, and knowing your timing, when you see that leaf has just a little bit of burn, you are doing it right! Watermelons and winter squash, make sure you plant them where they have never grown before, so they have the correct soil they need. Both of those crops are prone to get many soil-borne diseases. Lastly, with onions, you want to understand their lifecycle, so you know when to stop fertilizing them as they start to bulb. Crops We Do Struggle Growing Now that we have talked about what we are good at growing let's talk about the things we struggle growing. Opposite of Travis, Greg struggles growing carrots as his soil has a high weed seed bank, which leads to many problems. Another difficult one is Fordhook Lima Beans, these set of beans are super yummy but just something Greg can't figure out. English Peas are definitely worth the while when it comes to flavor, but you have to understand the timing, or like Greg, you won't be too good at growing it. Now, peppers struggle in Greg's garden because the insect pressure is high, and he admitted that he doesn't pay enough attention to fertilizing them because he and Mrs.Hoss don't eat that many. Brussel Sprouts have an extended date to maturity, and because of this, both Travis and Greg lose interest and end up not doing too well with this crop. You also need cold weather to trigger sprout growth, and that is something we don't get much of in South Georgia. Some other things Travis struggles growing because it's not cold enough is Shallots. English Peas need in-between weather also to do well and again we don't get much of anything but hot here!! When it comes to field peas, we do a good job growing them as a cover crop, but when we raise them to eat, they get eaten up, and we can't seem to put enough fertilizer on them. The last thing Travis admitted struggling with was herbs. Herbs are something he wants to get into but just don't know enough about them yet. Growing herbs is one of his goals for this next year! Show and Tell Segment If you weren't already hungry, hearing about all the delicious things Hoss Tools has coming out of the garden will surely make your mouth water! For example some homemade pasta sauce, with the use of our vegetable garden tomatoes, onions, peppers,

📍 Introduction:It's hard to go wrong with roasted vegetables. Almost everybody can eat them. They serve as a great side, base, or main dish. They are tasty hot or cold. A number of chefs even believe they're best at room temperature! You can roast many vegetables at once for food prep and re-heat/spruce them throughout the week. Or simply knock some out while you are making something else. When a vegetable is nearing its peak ripeness (or even a bit past), just pop it in the oven. See below for instructions for basic roasted vegetables -- but do get creative! There is a lot you can do with roasted veggies. ✔️ Instructions:Preheat oven to 400° (or 450° if cooking many items) Prep your veggies (wash, dry, trim, chop) Season with olive oil & salt; toss in a bowl to coat evenly Line baking sheets with parchment paperDump veggies on paper, place in the ovenCook until tender  🥕 Seasonal Vegetables for Roasting🗓 Year-round (mostly): Broccoli, Cauliflower, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Yams, Carrots, Beets, Winter Squash (e.g., Acorn, Butternut), Garlic, Onion ❄️ Winter: Brussel Sprouts, Celery🌷 Spring: Asparagus, Green Beans, Artichoke, Turnips☀️ Summer: Corn, Bell Peppers, Eggplant, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Summer Squash🍂 Fall: Pumpkin, Brussel Sprouts, Green Beans, Bell Peppers ⏰ Roasting Time Guide10-15 min: Zucchini, squash, bell peppers, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, mushrooms20-25 min: cauliflower, brussels, butternut/acorn squash, radish, eggplant30 min +: Beets, potatoes, sweet potato, carrots, cabbage 📝 Notes, Tips & Tricks: Cooking:Ensure vegetables are dry before cooking/coating with olive oil. This helps them brown instead of steam. Cut veggies to consistent sizes, so they cook evenly Don't skimp on oil Don't crowd the pan, or items will steam instead of brownSugars in vegetables seep out & can scorch pots and pans easily. Use parchment paper to eliminate the need to scrub or even wash at allCreative seasonings (e.g., herbs, oils, spices, garnishes) can make all the difference. Experiment! If you try roasting one new vegetable each week, by the end of six months, you will have covered most of the ones you will ever roast! Experiment to keep things fresh (& expand your knife skills repertoire)Save the stems, leaves & stalks while trimming down vegetables for roasting. These can be roasted as well, turned into pesto, or saved for making stock. Meal Prep & Storage:Roast a bunch of vegetables at once for ultimate efficiency. Preheating the oven takes awhile. So does getting out all the gear & cleaning it up. By knocking out all your veggies at once, you save yourself hours later in the week. When roasting different vegetables, start with those with the longest cooking time (root veggies, potatoes). Work your way to those with the shortest cooking time (tender ones like brussel sprouts, leafy greens). You can wash & trim the short-cooking vegetables while the longer cooking ones get a head start. Roasted vegetables taste great at room temperature. Take them out of the fridge ~1 hr before you plan to eat them so they can warm slowly & evenly. Roasted vegetables store very well, either at room temperature overnight or in the fridge for about a week. They don't mold, sour, or rot nearly as much as other items.  A few days in the fridge will actually make roasted vegetables taste better as they settle into themselves and absorb the seasoning.Store vegetables in clear containers so you can easily see them & noodle on creative ways to spruce them upLeave heartier vegetables out in a big bowl to inspire you to cook them. Many don't do well in the fridge anyway. Serving: Roasted vegetables can be the base for unlimited dishes (e.g., omelets, poached eggs, sandwiches, salads, soups, and even snacks). See below for some recipe inspo.  Spruce up roasted vegetables with a quick sauté (e.g., with olive oil and garlic) throughout the week to add some flair. Or simply reheat in the oven at 250°.Oil helps brown, cook & flavor the food. Many varieties work well (e.g., olive, coconut, peanut, duck fat, sunflower, grapeseed, canola, bacon grease).Sturdier herbs hold up well without burning (e.g., thyme, rosemary, oregano, tarragon, sage).A spritz of lemon juice or other acids at the end of cooking brightens flavors. 🎓 Further Study:7 Ways to Use Leftover Roasted Vegetables10 Delicious Uses for Roasted VegetablesWhat to Do With Leftover Roasted VegetablesHow to Store Vegetables to Keep them FreshSpecial thanks to Danielle Meister for serving as inspiration for this lesson & more.

How Hoss Tools Got Started Hoss Tools began about nine years ago when Greg and his friend decided that there was a need for quality gardening tools that were made in the USA. They also wanted to be able to offer excellent customer support for those tools. At the time they were both working other jobs when they started Hoss Tools, so they were not able to completely focus on the new business. As the business grew, they both realized that it would require more of their time. Greg bought his partner's portion of the business and started to create an online presence for the company. Since then, Greg has sold his other business and is now concentrating on Hoss Tools full-time. Travis joined the team around 2013 when the business really started evolving. Now Hoss Tools is completely direct-to-consumer so that we are able to provide better customer service and support. Row by Row Garden Show: One Year Anniversary The Row by Row Garden Show is a weekly gardening talk show where Greg and Travis discuss what is happening in their gardens, discuss a certain topic for the week, and answer viewer questions. For the one-year anniversary show, the guys decided to do a big giveaway for their viewers to thank them for showing so much support for the show thus far. The guys did a drawing for several collections of seed packs which included ProCut Sunflower, Lettuce, Peppers, and Summer and Winter Squash packs. They also gave away some of their fertilizers such as Chilean Nitrate, 20-20-20, and Micro-Boost. Finally, they drew names for some of their most popular garden tools like the short single tine cultivator, long single tine cultivator, 8 mil drip tape kit, and the new Hoss Stirrup Hoe. The two biggest products at the end of the giveaway were the Single Wheel Hoe and the Double Wheel Hoe. Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment, Greg has some freshly harvested Golden Delight Zucchini and Goldprize Squash that were really productive this year. Also, his cucumbers are about ready to harvest in the next couple of days. Travis shows his Starfighter lettuce that is looking really good and productive. He also talks about the productivity of his jambalaya okra and how tall they are growing. Greg also brought a huge bulb of green Kohlrabi and mentions that Travis may be envious because he doesn't know his secret. He recently harvested all of his onions and laid them on the ground to cure for a couple of days before he stores them in the barn. Viewer Questions Segment On the question and answer segment, the guys answer questions about yellow squash/zucchini issues, "banding" fertilizer, fish emulsion, and organic solutions for phosphorous and potassium. Travis explains that garden soil pH can become too acidic over time if you grow the same crops year after year in the same spot. This will also start to create some fertilization problems, because plants cannot uptake nutrients in soils with an incorrect pH. To help resolve these issues, you should practice better crop rotations and build the organic matter in your soils. To "band" fertilize, Greg takes his two-gallon sprayer with the tip-off and uses either some 20-20-20 or Chilean Nitrate. He then applies it in a band about 3 to 4 inches beside the plant or plant foliage. The fish emulsion products available in stores are not ready for uptake by plants. Any organic fertilizer will have a much slower uptake because it has to be broken down to those smaller chemical forms like ammonia or nitrate. Greg says that some good organic solutions for phosphate are soft rock phosphate and bone meal for phosphorous.

How Hoss Tools Got Started Hoss Tools began about nine years ago when Greg and his friend decided that there was a need for quality gardening tools that were made in the USA. They also wanted to be able to offer excellent customer support for those tools. At the time they were both working other jobs when they started Hoss Tools, so they were not able to completely focus on the new business. As the business grew, they both realized that it would require more of their time. Greg bought his partner's portion of the business and started to create an online presence for the company. Since then, Greg has sold his other business and is now concentrating on Hoss Tools full-time. Travis joined the team around 2013 when the business really started evolving. Now Hoss Tools is completely direct-to-consumer so that we are able to provide better customer service and support. Row by Row Garden Show: One Year Anniversary The Row by Row Garden Show is a weekly gardening talk show where Greg and Travis discuss what is happening in their gardens, discuss a certain topic for the week, and answer viewer questions. For the one-year anniversary show, the guys decided to do a big giveaway for their viewers to thank them for showing so much support for the show thus far. The guys did a drawing for several collections of seed packs which included ProCut Sunflower, Lettuce, Peppers, and Summer and Winter Squash packs. They also gave away some of their fertilizers such as Chilean Nitrate, 20-20-20, and Micro-Boost. Finally, they drew names for some of their most popular garden tools like the short single tine cultivator, long single tine cultivator, 8 mil drip tape kit, and the new Hoss Stirrup Hoe. The two biggest products at the end of the giveaway were the Single Wheel Hoe and the Double Wheel Hoe. Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment, Greg has some freshly harvested Golden Delight Zucchini and Goldprize Squash that were really productive this year. Also, his cucumbers are about ready to harvest in the next couple of days. Travis shows his Starfighter lettuce that is looking really good and productive. He also talks about the productivity of his jambalaya okra and how tall they are growing. Greg also brought a huge bulb of green Kohlrabi and mentions that Travis may be envious because he doesn't know his secret. He recently harvested all of his onions and laid them on the ground to cure for a couple of days before he stores them in the barn. Viewer Questions Segment On the question and answer segment, the guys answer questions about yellow squash/zucchini issues, "banding" fertilizer, fish emulsion, and organic solutions for phosphorous and potassium. Travis explains that garden soil pH can become too acidic over time if you grow the same crops year after year in the same spot. This will also start to create some fertilization problems, because plants cannot uptake nutrients in soils with an incorrect pH. To help resolve these issues, you should practice better crop rotations and build the organic matter in your soils.

Growing Winter Squash and Pumpkins Winter squash are not planted in the winter months. They are planted in the spring, much like summer squash, but they will store well into the winter. That is why they are called "winter squash". Winter squash should be planted in the spring after the chance of frost has passed. They are typically planted a few weeks after one would traditionally plant summer squash or zucchini varieties. One of the most under-recognized food sources for the home gardener, winter squash is a valuable crop that should be grown by more people because of the long-lasting shelf life without refrigeration. Winter Squash Varieties There are three primary species of winter squash, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita pepo, and Cucurbita moschata. Cucurbita maxima include species like kabocha squash that are very sweet and widely considered one of the best-tasting squash types. Cucurbita pepo includes varieties like Delicata and Spaghetti Squash. Cucurbita moschata includes varieties like Butternut, Seminole Pumpkin, Fairytale Pumpkin, and our Blue Bayou Pumpkin. The moschata tends to include more heat tolerant varieties and are a little more resistant to insect pressure. The recommended area of spacing to grow winter squash is at least a 20' x 20' or 30' x 30' area due to their extensive ground cover, much like watermelons. Most of these squash have 90 days to maturity which is about 40 days longer than summer squash. That being said, it is important to keep this winter squash on drip irrigation to reduce your chances of having issues with downy and powdery mildew. Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment, Travis has some okra transplants that are ready to be planted. Growing okra from transplants has always been successful for the guys. Greg talks about how excited he is about his shallots that are looking healthy and growing well. Travis mentions that he may have to do a little research on when exactly he should harvest his leeks. However, they seem to be growing and doing just fine. So he will wait to harvest his leeks at a later time. The peppers are ready to "step up" into a 4" pot once they start getting the second set of true leaves. So the guys are busy stepping up the peppers and getting those acclimated to the bigger seed trays in the greenhouse. The guys also share a new tool called the Hoss Stirrup Hoe which is a long-handled version of their Oscillating Hoe attachment for the Wheel Hoe. Viewer Questions Segment On the question and answer segment, the guys answer questions about planting green beans and using fruit trees to attract pollinators. Travis says that pole beans need a panel or some type of trellis because they are climbing beans. Greg says it takes 50 days to maturity on pole beans and to definitely plant before the end of May. Greg states that trees are great for pollinators, but you should think several years ahead of time because they take longer to grow than flowers. With flowers, they are quicker and easier to get them in the ground and blooming if you need something quick. Some tree varieties that are wonderful for pollinators include native oaks or any trees that bloom in the springtime. Greg suggests that you should stay away from trees that are not native to your area because you will have difficulty growing those types.

Green Side Up's Richard Hentschel covers common storage of root crops right in the garden and places to store hard rind, or winter, squashes in the home until you can prepare them for the family. Carrots and other root crops do just fine if left in the garden and harvested as needed. Winter squashes prefer storage temperatures between 50 and 55 degrees. They do just fine even 10 degrees warmer, but they may not last as long that way. Cooler, they can last for 4 or more months.

In this episode we talk about how to tell if winter squash is ripe and how to preserve it. We discuss saving annuals from year to year, and give the pros and cons of fall yard cleanups. Ellen and C.L. also invite you to become inspired by the artist Andy Goldsworthy.

Sheila Dillon and special guests discover a delicious world of pumpkins and winter squash. It's Halloween time, and pumpkins are making their annual appearance in windows and on doorsteps. But these winter squash are part of a fascinating family of fruit (yes, fruit - not vegetable) with huge culinary potential that many feel uncomfortable around. This programme aims to change that. Sheila invites chef, restaurateur and squash-lover Romy Gill to her kitchen, where they're joined by Neil Munro - manager of the Heritage Seed Library at Garden Organic (formerly the Henry Doubleday Research Association). To help with the deeper history, they enlist the help of Ken Albala, Professor of Food Studies at the University of the Pacific in California. Presenter: Sheila Dillon Producer: Rich Ward.

A very loopy episode as we celebrate our Kickstarter project, and then dive into this strange concept known as: feeling joy. Discussion topics include: the time Trin met Will Ferrell while he was wearing sweatpants; what Jenn says to her dog every morning; Tweeting with The Jackson Five.

7x7 Associate Editor Jessica Battilana is concerned for your fingers. She advises against hacking away at hard, thick-skinned winter squash. Instead, pierce the squash with the tip of a knife and cook it in the microwave for a short time to soften it. Then it's ready for whatever squash recipe you have in mind.

Author Amelia Saltsman cautions shoppers at farmers' markets not to fear firm produce, which can take months to ripen fully.
