Yet another squash question

[amphibian]

I'm rubbish at watering and we had a very, very dry year in Maidstone. Yet I still had a reasonable crop of squash, they tasted good too. Sometimes I think we make life hard on ourselves pampering our plants.

So do I. I very rarely water anything once it's out of a pot.

Once squash get going, they will find the water,very little stops them, I don't water after they get established either.  XX Jeannine

Now that's interesting cos last year in September I put my back out and couldn't really get up to the plot much let alone lug heavy watering cans around. Now Sept was a lovely month - very dry and I wondered if my squash would have done better if I'd been watering them. I started to take them off the plants quite early as the plants themselves started to die back. Oh well I'll have to see what this year brings

So many choices .......
