[blazetot]

[saberur66]

do you think using nylon fencing or metal fencing is better?

[ladygrace1023]

What a great video! Thank you for showing exactly how to help pollinate, and your vertical technique is really good. I hope you do more. Kind Regards,

Wow I have not been back here for a long time. So I will answer the most common question "how many squash plants per cage" FOUR! I am now into the next season here in P.R. and I will post another gardening video soon. Stay Tuned.

This is great. Do you think this fencing would vertically support watermelons?

This is how I do my squash, cucumbers and zuchini's as well....Although every year I plant in a different spot and they do great. Then....the leaves start to turn yellow and the fruit starts to turn brown! This year it started soing it again but no fruit yet. So I did a little reading. I added Nitrogen to the soil and see if I can catch it before it get's too bad. Yours are beautiful so green! Thank you the video was helpful with the male and female I never knew how to tell!

Best video yet I've seen explaining growing squash upright. How many squash plants do you have planted per round trellis? Would I do this differently if I am growing summer squash in the southeast United States? You keep saying that you have limited space, but your videos seem to show a lot of unused space? Again, great post. You should post more.

I bought a package of zucchini seeds from Sicily, Italy. I have a raised garden bed ready but indecisive. I am not certain if I should first sow those seeds in bed or small pots? Your recommendation? Do those plants regrow every year? I like your staking idea!

[AskCarrieLee]

Thanks for the video! This was packed with some great tips, especially for us novices. :)

One person asked how many plants roughly per cage. I'd love to know the answer to that too!

What a short, sweet, information-packed video. Thank you so much for posting.

How many plants are in the cage?

[xandrem09x]

great video. full of information

[koricanprez]

Very educational and to the point, thank you. Everything I attempted last year didn't work out. So I guess they just don't grow themselves. They laws on the ground, stuck to the concrete and dried out there. I goe 3 peas and 5 cherry tomatoes. I'm determined to make it work this year. I'll go out and water them, train them and talk to them everyday.

[neomisterp]

very cool. Does the metal caging interfere at all with "burning" the vines? Thanks for your great idea and sharing.

How many squash plants did you grow in that one cage?

[ilikealicia]

i'm jealous, you can grow tomatoes, sugar snaps AND cukes at the same time! down here in southern california it's already too dry and hot for the beans! thx for the idea to train squash upright!

[JarheadPatriot0311]

I take it you plant 1 squash plant per cage right? Great Idea.

[jamaicanveteran92]

is that summer or winter squash?

[ilikeskiiing]

@jamaicanveteran92

That is winter squash "Butter Cup"

[arkansastrash320]

I just want to say thats a beautifull beautifull garden and a great ideal for small spaces.i mite try that with sweet potatoes cause they over take the whole garden let them climb instead.Thanks for the ideal....

Hi Mike

I use to live in Powell River. The garden is great and I see how much you enjoy it. Great tips....I hope I can get a crop like you. Want to grow all the different kinds of squash. Do more videos....you do better than some of the others....always looking. Thanks. Teres

How many Tomato plants do you plant in one cage?

[michaelstanger]

Nice

[jihadacadien]

I doing this on my patio and garden too. but yours are way WAY bigger than mine ;) Looks great!

[jinnafer]

Fabulous job! I was wondering what type of squash you are growing there? I stopped growing squash since it takes up so much of my garden space but I think I will try planting it vertically. Thanks very much!

[ilikeskiiing]

@jinnafer The type of squash is Buttercup. Any small squash will do. Bigger squash's will need to be supported.

The female flower part I referred to is actually called the Pistol not the Stamen.
