Q.spaghetti squash spreading

Zone Sacramento area-zone 9 | marie.twinpalms added on May 2, 2015 | Answered

My spaghetti squash is spreading like crazy. Can I cut back some of the new growth to contain it a bit? Also, some fruit are not thriving but think this is pollination problem.

You can cut back vines if you feel it necessary.
Leave at leave 3 fruit growing on a vine.
You can move vines around if the are in the way, gently lift them and move.

You will reduce your harvest by trimming back your vines.
