Will do!

Looks like you are doing great. Key piece is supporting the weight of the squash and watermelon while allowing them to expand. Looks like you are using nylons which work great.

I appreciate your input😊

I think it’s quite impressive. I’m on a good bit of acreage myself but I don’t want massive garden areas taking over everywhere. Going vertical intrigues me. Please keep us posted.

Thanks, will do!

Great use of nylons! It’s the only thing they’re re good for! 🤣😂😆I do this with my melons. They are so few I want to protect them.

I container garden and vertical grow everything. Even the squash. This year it is not as neat and tidy and past years as I was lucky to get the garden in, but vertical gardening creates more air flow especially if you prune and in my case let’s me grow more.

Oh, good! It sounds like you’ve been successful with this method. That’s encouraging. Since I took that picture the squash are now about the size I would buy them at the grocery store, but they are green still. I hope they don’t get too much bigger.

Nice job. Looks like a success!

UPDATE:

It’s definitely been a success. I took off the hammocks for the squash, but left them on the watermelon. I’ve only harvested 2 squash for now. I’m leaving the others out there awhile longer. My only complaint is a constant battle with squash bugs.
