August 26, 2021Q.Trellis – Squash
Hello, I am fairly new to gardening, had some success so far with buttercup squash, but they are taking over my garden. I planted some in my flower beds and they are thriving trellising along the rock border. Could I just plant individual seeds in small plots alone outside of a garden, and leave logs astound for them to trellis? Thanks.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, in fact, planting individual seeds is the correct way to go about it. This is so you don't overcrowd the area, which will actually give you much less of a harvest.

October 22, 2021Q.Squash Plant Blooms Mostly Female Blooms And Very Few Males
I am growing zucchini squash plants in pots in a greenhouse. I did this last year with no problems. I am getting lots of female blossoms but very few males and not at the same time. I am attempting to save pollen. The varieties I am growing are Grey, Cocozelle and Dirani. They get fertilized once a week. What can be done to balance the types of blooms

June 6, 2022Q.How To Fix Issues With Squash Plants/leaves, Browning/yellowing Edges
Trouble shooting issues with my squash plants, browning leaves at the edges. Also, experiencing blossom end rot. Try to water once a week but notice the leaves droop so water a few times a week. The plants are in planters with sandy soil combined with loam. Have not fertilized yet.
