Thought I would give some encouragement to anyone starting squash. These boogers were not even on the vine night before last and barely there yesterday morning...about the size of a pencil then...and now some are pushing 3" already. Zucs are EASY...these are planted in a half barrel with potting soil, good aged steer manure, bagged compost and an organic fertilizer called Foxfarm.

I plopped them in the barrel last week and plucked off a bunch of blooms because I was concerned the roots were not formed well enough to handle them all...and they are back in a week!


I have these planted next to some yellow crooked neck.

Now go plant!:)
