Episode Synopsis

Have you ever heard of the Cucurbitaceae Family? You probably haven't, but maybe you've heard of the Squash Family or Cucurbit Family? This family includes squashes, pumpkins, watermelon, cucumber, and gourds to name a few of the 950 species belonging to this family. The good news is...they all grow in about the same conditions, and once you know about 1, you almost know them all!
Pop on your headphones and get ready to take a few notes. This info packed episode will have you growing food in the squash family like a pro!
I’ll tell you which varieties I’m growing this year so you can work smarter, not harder in your garden and save a ton of money by avoiding expensive pest control products and increasing your food yield.
