The squash vine borer is probably the worst problem I’ve had in growing summer squash
It’s winter now, when would be a good time to start planting the summer squash, what is a good date to start?
great video enjoyed very much
my dad and i did a taste test with summer squash. we let one go to be about 10 inches long and 2 ” wide. we harvested another at around 6” long and an inch wide. the tiny one was so sweet i really wanted to eat it raw!
Make squash flower fritters they are great munchies after twisting & burning a bone!
Great vidio

I love Jared’s videos. I always learn something from them. Thank you.
Dont through away the flower D:!! make it into a quesadilla!
Do you know if Squash can be grown on a trellis trained upward for limited space? Graet video. Thanks Jared.
@onrekids You are so right. My Grandmother use to make Squash quesaillas when we were kids. They were great.
Compost and or manure will attract bugs especially flies and other bad bugs that will eat your plant away. I would suggest avoiding this all together. Its better to grow your plant in a big pot so incase it gets cold you can take it inside and keep it warm. Another form of fertilizer like the liquid kind would benefit you all.
Tempura the blooms and deep fry them !
When watering,easy rule -when ground appears dry water as needed ,dont worry just keep moist as needed,when it rains no need to water.
I took your advice on growing squash and it inspired me to jump on my pogo stick.
From the look of the slightly yellow edges of leaves that turn into brown, dessicated zones, I would venture a guess that this row of zucchini is infested with the bane of my gardening existence, the SQUASH BUG.
I will try the companion planting technique of planting nasturtiums, radishes, and marigolds in rings around my zuchs this year in a (no doubt vain) attempt to deter the squash bugs. They’re nasty critters.
In the southwest we eat the blossoms. Rinse thouroghly, cook in oil or butter with salt & pepper. Or deep fry, dredge blossoms with flour and fry in oil (olive or canola) salt and pepper to taste. Yum!
