Hi Grapes on this lovely sunny morning
Currently I'm trying to work out how many squash I can fit into two beds of 1m x 3m. I am going to grow butternut, crown prince, uchiki kuri and one each of two courgette varieties. I thought that ideally I'd allow 1sqm for a crown prince, uchiki and the courgettes - does that sound too much space or just right? After looking at the recommended spacing for the butternut it seems I could fit perhaps two into 1sqm - perhaps diagonally opposite each other?
I haven't had much experience of squash and I couldn't really find a definitive answer so I thought your experience may be the answer.
Finally I have read that some of you have pinned trailing squash into circles a la Joy Larkcom - does anyone have any piccies as I can't visualise how tight the circle needs to be.
Many thanks...rightio, off to proper work now
