Biggest Mistake when growing Butternut squash ! Get Maximum Production Faster!

[@vivianmccarter1414]

Remove suckers when they are a couple inches long and stick them in the dirt. Same with tomatoes. 1 plant can become many. 😊 happy growing

[@Greentgarden]

Yes, absolutely dirt or you could even put it in a mason jar with water. It will produce roots... Thanks for sharing with us always appreciated... Happy Friday gardening 🌱

I've learned that it doesn't matter what the vegetation is pruning is very relevant for the health and production of your plants

[@Greentgarden]

Nice....thank you for sharing with us.. Happy gardening 🌱

[@chabelameneses4661]

I've had good experience with allowing the suckers to continue growing until they are long enough to root them. This provides the nutrition for the squash that grow from the suckers.

[@Greentgarden]

Awesome..that's a good idea.. Thank you so much for sharing with us... Happy gardening 🌱

Dude. Squash is so fun to grow.

[@Greentgarden]

Yes ! Agree and super delicious... Happy gardening 🌱

@@Greentgarden Any tips on what to do when the leaves go all white and papery (think it's called mildew)??

[@Greentgarden]

Mix 1 to 2 tbsp of baking soda in a gallon of water. Put it in a spray bottle and spray on the leaves on top and underneath. Do this in the evening....

[@Happy2Run4Me]

Oh! Good to know! It’s my first time growing butternut squash and it’s vining all over and up my trellis. Is it too late to prune the lower suckers?

[@Greentgarden]

If there's no butternut squash on the Lower vines , remove some ... And 2-3 lower leaves.. This helps with good airflow , better growing process, better production and faster harvest

What zone are you in bro? Growing squash in England has been very challenging this year

[@Greentgarden]

Sorry to hear.. Zone 7A .. new York USA .. What's your temperature?

[@infamos]

Im in south London today it was 20 celcius which is 68 F fahrenheit@@Greentgarden

[@Greentgarden]

Butternut squash will definitely grow in that weather... It's in the low 60s in night here. And the 70s in the day.. .

[@infamos]

@@Greentgarden it can be done, we had a miserable July, very little sun for like 3 weeks, harvest will hopefully come, just a bit later, I think, thanks for all the vids and tips, God bless bro

[@Greentgarden]

Hope the weather gets better for you ! And you're welcome! Have an awesome day 🙏🏾🌱

[@bobcragle8124]

good video thanks , Hey , do you think if i planted garlic in the pots above ground it would survive the winter ? and whehn i do plant it around october is it too soon or late > and do i start the garlic from the the bulbs in the store ? thanks , bob

[@Greentgarden]

Try to get organic garlic from store or farmers market and yes growing in a container is perfect ,you could plant late September or early October ..

[@bobcragle8124]

@@Greentgarden so what is organic garlic , the store always has the garlic by things like potatoes . and so on . thanks , i didn't know if the garlic would freeze above ground. ..

[@Greentgarden]

Try to buy from a local farm market , This way you get better quality.. .. The price is a bit more than the supermarket but it's more organic and fresh..

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Wow...good tip. Thanks

Your welcome.. have a wonderful week ahead 🌱🙏🏾

[@averyacupuncture5591]

Are you growing it vertically?

[@Greentgarden]

Yes These are grown vertically upward .. sometimes I let them run on the ground too... Happy gardening 🌱

[@averyacupuncture5591]

@@Greentgarden how do you support the fruit once they start getting heavy?

[@chrisz.9974]

So should you leave only one main vine?

[@Greentgarden]

So normally I leave the main vine and I remove two to three lower side shoots ... I basically leave the top half the grow to get a bigger and faster harvest in less time

[@thomascoulter7547]

Lovin that new bed

[@Greentgarden]

Thanks Thomas.. it's awesome

[@diannerobinson7858]

Can you eat the leaves?

[@Greentgarden]

Yes some people do eat it .. good stuff

[@Cruise-d7o]

Yes I'm a X South African.. when I saw that people can actually eat the leafs,I thought it was funny until I tasted the leafs in a stew,that someone made, nothing wrong eating the leafs👍👍

A sucker saved me from total loss soo...

[@Greentgarden]

Oh nice ... I just removed one to two lower ones and left the rest to grow up top m.

[@elsancho-mx7om]

I have a good amount of space, would the produce more oy you just let them get huge or os is better to have multiple smaller plants?

[@Greentgarden]

So if you have space and you have a longer garden season like longer time, you don't need to prune it.. but if you have less space and you don't have much garden time I would say remove them.. If not, just let them run.. you will get more .. but just make sure to add more fertilizer , every 2 weeks as the plants start producing..

[@elsancho-mx7om]

@Greentgarden makes sense, maybe I'll split my Spaghetti squash next year and see what does better. I can really only grow from mid June to early September around 100 good growing days usually. Do you think that is long enough to let them go wild or keep them pruned with more plants. P.S. followed the tips you gave me for my watermelon and pumpkins and finally got some fruit. Sadly they more than likely won't reach maturity but I am just excited to watch them grow. First year gardening and either I'm pretty good at it or I just have great soil because the tomatoes, zucchini, corn, bean, multiple peppers, even a strawberry have done amazing.

[@Greentgarden]

Very nice glad to hear but sorry about your watermelon and pumpkin.. you will get double up on the season 🙏🏾🌱 happy gardening 🌱
