Thanks for that bit of history on the Cherokee Tan pumpkins! I'm part Cherokee Indian from North Carolina. Traced my ancestry years ago to find that my grandfathers people claimed to be FARMERS on the census to get out of being sent to the Oklahoma Cherokee Nation. By doing this, they relinquished their Cherokee heritage but were saved from the Trail of Tears journey. It is disappointing not to be able to LEGALLY claim my Cherokee heritage but in my heart I know that I am and that is all that matters to me. My Cherokee Tan pumpkins have gone slap crazy and have taken over the woodline by my garden area. They are growing up the trees, all over brush piles but have also crept up into my garden area to the point I can't get to several of my raised beds without stepping all over vines. I know one vine is over 200 ft long and is almost up to my pots of tomatoes & bell peppers up by my greenhouse. People are amazed at how this pumpkin vine has taken over, almost like kudzu!! I have seen several of the round balls with blooms so I know I will have pumpkins, if I can follow all the vines in the woods to harvest them. LOL!! I planted 4 seeds and they all sprouted and made vines so I am hoping to be very blessed with a nice pumpkin harvest. QUESTION: How would you save the seeds to plant for next year? Do you let one get really ripe and harvest those seeds or can you save the seeds from any of the pumpkins? I'm not wanting to sell them but have plenty for next year and to give to family.

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

I have a video on saving the seeds. I will have to go put it in the cards in this video. Thanks for the reminder. Check back in a while for the videos.

Thank you for showing us the whole vine Danny. Mine tried to come back after the grasshoppers got them a few weeks ago so I can tell they are very hardy but there isn’t time for them to produce anything this year. So I got more seeds from you and will try again next year. Loved hearing about the history. I’m really praying I can grow these successfully and want to have a area in my garden dedicated to my Cherokee great grandparents. I think I found my great great grandfather on the Dawes list a few weeks ago. They were in Oklahoma and my great grandmother lived in Joplin MO after she grew up and got married. The records only go back as far as her father and his siblings and parents. Wish I could find out more but for now I will try and grow the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee Tans and the Danny Corn together. Looking very forward to that coming to life next year.

Hi Mr Danny, I purchased the Cherokee tan pumpkin seeds from you and Mrs Wanda. Oh my by November my husband had to go out there and harvest them as I had emergency back fusion , then ended up 5 weeks later my incision opened wide open and had 104.7 fever - I caught SEPSIS from the material ( rods, screws etc the orthopedic surgeon put in my back , plus he didnt use stiches or staples - my in home nurse even said it didnt look right ) A long story sir and Mrs Wanda. But ive been very ill since being off the IV antibiotic Rocephin i had to take in my vein daily for 6 weeks . So ive missed much of your great content the past few months . But wanted to tell you We still have some Cherokee tan pumpkins from Nov 2022 and its May 4th 2023 We ended up getting 22 pumpkins from me planting 6 seeds . My husband is gonna plant some more this weekend . We havent been able to have the huge Garden we had in past years & especially the 2 years before my injury . Im looking back on other ways to cook them and this content came up . God bless you & Mrs Wanda. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤ Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas ❤❤❤

I was hoping for a dedicated video on Cherokee Tan Pumpkin. Got my seeds from you. Early on when the vines were less than 10 ft I picked them up to cut the grass underneath, I didn’t know about the roots along the vine and they stopped blooming for 2-3 weeks, thought I ruined the plant. I didn’t disturb them again and they finally started to produce flowers again. There are at least 4 pumpkins so far. Thank You.

In my small garden I plant chives, different varieties of onions, leeks, marigolds and onion chives. A lot of little bugs do not like these, neither do the rabbits. You can add garlic to that list. You can plant the root portions of green onions, they too come back in the spring. If you get tiny onions to plant at the nursery, they also are said to overwinter. Might look a little dry by now, so you might get a good deal. You can always mulch plants a little, before it gets mighty cold. Plant garlic cloves root side down, a thump deep and a handspan apart, around the time when frost starts happening. They develop a root system over the winter, that's the best way to do it. Or right away in the earliest spring if you missed that opportunity. ❤ Happy gardening to all, everyone and everywhere. ❤ Even with a few occasional challenges, or setbacks.

@Emeraldwitch30 4 года назад

If the bugs are getting in from the bottom I've put a small board or paving brick under them. Get them off the ground. I have problems with the grubs chewing into the bottoms of my squash. I also run my squashes up fencing. Those cattle panels tend to really hold the weight for me but I only grow smaller squash like honey nut and buttercup and after seeing the ones Danny is growing would be good on a fence.

The plants are beautiful too. The bean pods turn a rich ruby red as they age. They are good for greenbeans but i like the rattlesnakes pole beans a bit better flavor wise so the Trail of Tears end up for dry beans. I only grew out about 10 vines this year to refresh my seed stock as I had quite a few left from last year and needed to refresh several other pole bean seeds. Im kinda a seed hoarder! 🤫 I have the Anasazi beans out there too. But one of my other soup bean favorites just didn't grow this year so I'll have to see if I can find more stock. The Speckled Cranberry pole bean makes wonderful fat creamy beans i hadnt grown it in years due to losing the seeds.

Pick the male flower off then pull the petals off exposing the male center and rub it all over the inside of the female flower.

Wow, great survival food indeed! But I don't think it'll be good for a suburban backyard :(

Danny are the pumpkin seeds n the cream pea seeds in Etsy organic? Thank you 😊

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

They were grown with fertilize. And they are an open pollinated variety.

@dwardodwardo643 4 года назад

So they take some shade? I assume they are mold resistant? Do they taste like regular squash? Would like to see more videos as the come along. Thanks for sharing.

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

In the cards we have a play list.

@denisevance1045 4 года назад

Danny, can I grow these in the N. W. how long is the growing season for them. Or, could I greenhouse grow them? I know you mentioned they do best in bazarre spots (compost piles, etc.) would love to try them, but I am doubtful.

You need at least 120 day's

Hello, I checked your Etsy shop and seems there isn’t an option to purchase the Cherokee tan pumpkin seeds. Do you still sell the seeds? And if so how can I purchase them? Thank you

Hi Danny, if I save Cherokee Tan seeds what other plants do I need to keep away to keep them from crossing?

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

Any cucudita mochata name plant

Just today, I saw a tan pumpkin in our local grocery store. They didn't have it tagged Cherokee tan pumpkin. It was tan with light green strips. Is that one? I would buy one but they were so big for me.

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

The Cherokee tan is a small pumpkin about 6 to 8 inches in diameter.

@monicarevey9911 4 года назад

Is that 1 plant that you showed or few?

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

One

@sadiejackson774 4 года назад

I have some of your seeds growing in Washington State, and they are full size, but still green. How much time do they need to turn tan? I'm worried the cold will set in. They mature much slower than my small sugar pumpkins, which are ready to pick.

@stevegress9531 4 года назад

Are the seeds still available? I don't see them in your etsy store

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

We will be putting some more up soon.

@jeffbee6090 4 года назад

?do you have another form of transaction, other than dealing through the net?

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

POBOX snail mail. But we can't guarantee that we will have them when the letter arrives. That is why we have an etsy store.

@Grandma.Lilly. 4 года назад

Already sold out, can I be alerted when back in stock??

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

Hi Danny I just went to Etsy and it said the Cherokee tan was sold out. Please tell me how to order the pumpkin from you????

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

I will update the etsy store this afternoon. Thanks

As a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a cultural director of the tribe, I can assure you this is NOT ACCURATE. The heirloom seeds cultivated and available to the Cherokee citizens are FREE OF CHARGE! This has been reported to the authorities.

@DeepSouthHomestead 4 года назад

We are not representing the Cherokee nation. We are simply trying to get these seeds out there. We received them from a friend who got them and gave us the history on them as was given to him. We now have several seed companies selling these to help get them back in circulation. This is done to be a blessing to the people.
