Title: Squash in containers?
Post by: gilgamesh on June 17, 2004, 10:06:20

I've been offered a couple of butternut squash plants, just when I've more or less used up all my open space in the garden (14 tomato plants in the open on Sunday), so I was wondering about growing them on a tump as I would do for trailing marrows - or in a large (2'6" wide & about the same deep) container. Any hints or tips?
