Although I’m 68 years old, this is my first year growing a garden. I have chosen a container garden to eliminate the need of weeding. I lost three squash plants, all I had, two powder mildew. I have planted three new ones, I am very glad I have found this channel and have subscribed. I will be an ad watcher of your videos. I have wanted to be a gardener for many years and just now have the time and opportunity to do so. Thanks for all your information. I’ll be tuning in regularly. Located in League City, Texas just south of Houston.
Here in the North in Alberta we’re in a cold front in the prairies so we have temperatures lowest of 2-5 degrees so it’s kind of hard to plant outdoors waiting till it’s at least 5 degrees Celcius 40F at night
I’m going to try this! Thank you!
That's a great growing lesson. Thank you!
I haven't had good luck growing summer squash, but I plan to follow your tips and try again this year. Thank you!
That's what I'm growing soon in my smart post kim😊
I need to try those grilled squash slices!
How do you keep the squash Vine boar from killing your squash? Every year mine are destroyed by them. I’ve tried so many things.😢
Thanks for the great tips ,enjoy your garden . 😀🤗
Today my darling orange tabby sat on my pan squash and broke it. So I’m back to starting seeds again. 🤦🏻♀️
I was worried about my crookneck squash only producing female flowers, but bumble bees took care of it with cross-polination. I have two zucchini, two crookneck squash, and two lemon squash growing close together. two plants in each 4×2 raiswed bed, and three ground cherries in one 4×2 raised bed. Six plants will produce an ample amount of squash for me. One of the two crookneck squash is loaded with fruit, lots of female flowers, lots of fruit. It has not less than a half dozen squash growing on it, and it grows fast. In a day or two, I'll be harvesting the first squash of the season. I have already harvested my first peppers, better early than on time. LOL. I'll replace the squiash with cauliflower and brocolli later this summer.
