Allotments 4 All

For those of you thinking about growing your squash upwards on frames next year, this is one plant, Hubbard.
             

Is that bought-in netting - or your crochet??

Ours haven't even left the ground yet. = Tim

My crochet work Tim! Using the string that comes from hay bales, very tough stuff! ;D

only one thing i can say.Well done Doris.

What patience! And a straight eye? = Tim

Excellent Doris.  I didn't get around to encouraging Ava to build my arch - next year maybe.  I shall make sure he has a good look at your piccy also, so he can be all inspired.  His list of allotment jobs is growing by the day!

While you service the bike?? = Tim

My hands can not possibly get any dirtier Tim, and I think I know one end of a spark plug from another.

Doris, the photo of the courgette frame is clear and informative, but how high do they actually climb? I would assume it to be about the same height as their natural spread when allowed to grow horizontally; is this the case? 

Yes Waterfeatures, Those hubbards grew taller than me but I am only 5'2"!
Think they went to about 6 ft, (I make my frames to be approx 6 foot tall) but I do tend to encourage them to go sideways as well as upwards to try and cover the frame by twinning them in and out!  Hope that helps....DP
