The film you are about to see is going to give you the education you need to be able to grow your own "amazing" vegetables. If you're not already a gardener you only need the decision to do what you are about to see being done. If you are already a gardener, I think you will enjoy seeing what I do in my little garden... and I'd love to see what you can do in yours!
I'm always amused at some peoples' reaction to the winter squash we sometimes serve our guests. "Wow, this is great! What is it?" We tell them and they say; "No, it can't possibly be squash, I hate squash, I've always hated squash!"
I'm even more amused at seeing the stems broken or cut off the Butternut squash in the supermarkets. You need to know that once the “seal” is broken-- and just by picking the squash up by the stem will usually break the seal-- air will get inside and it will begin to decay. But it looks prettier there in the counter without those pesky stems.
More amusing still is the "Golden Acorn Squash." Acorn squash doesn't have a long shelf life under even the best conditions. They're ready to go right after they reach maturity. As they age, they rapidly lose their flavor and nutrients- and they turn "Golden." So here we are, paying 50% to 100% more for the less flavorful, less nutritious (old) Acorn squash than the green, better Acorn Squash in the next bin. The best way, of course, is to have a just matured green one at the peak of flavor and nutritional value... right from your own garden.
Sometimes I guess it takes a little bit of effort to teach people that they "don't like" something.
