Title: Squash help needed what would you choose??
Post by: vicstar on September 05, 2008, 10:34:01
Well i would like to grow some squash but the problem is i haven't much space about 1 yard by 3 yards is the any possibility that i could. my plot is fenced on one side so could us that.  i know its no much space but the rest is allocated. if you have any ideas  on what to use the plot for it would be greatly mulled over.

I am going to try these next year as they are a bush variety rather than trailing

I'm growing squash for the first time this year. Trailing ones in amongst the sweetcorn (Hunter F1, Burgess Vine Buttercup and Sugar Loaf) and two smaller fruited climbing ones up a cane pyramid (Jack be Little and Uchiki Kuri).

Just noticed on another thread that Jeannine (squash expert) says you can train just about any squash upwards - just need to tie in the vine and support the fruits
