Tee Gee, are your BNS actually planted in the pots or in the ground below?  Are you going to train them up the canes?  What happens when they get to the top?

They are in the 'bottomless pots (rings) and the root can extend into the soil below.

Initially yes!!

This is subject to the amount of potential fruit I get per plant.

If I want more fruit by this stage I will train them horizontally.

Thanks TG - I've got squashes in all sorts of containers & a few on the ground - the ones in pots are doing much better at the moment.  I'm hoping to train some BNS up a wigwam but not sure what to do when they out grow it.  :)
