I've run out of space. I've been slowly reclaiming my allotment - a half size/125 metre square - from the patch of brambles and docks I inherited, and am about 2/3rds done. I've stopped expanding for now as I have only a little time each week I can spare for it, there are more fun things to be doing to it at this time of year! (I'd spend longer but I've two young children, and whilst they love the plot at 1 & 2 are a little too young to manage properly whilst getting much more than watering or weeding done!).
Anyway, the context is slightly irrelevant to the question. I have a couple Waltham Butternut Squash to plant out and a couple Minnesota Midget melons, and wondered if they could be made to climb so I can free up some space? I've read conflicting reports about butternut squash and melons online, but nothing mentioning either specific type one way or the other. I'd be very pleased to hear of your experience or opinions.
Thanks!
