I'm not growing butternut squash this year. However, when I was much younger and still living at home, my dad let me put in a garden in the back yard. He rented a tiller and I was able to plant any seeds that I wanted to. At the time, we were living in southwest Ohio where it rained on a regular basis. I planted a variety of butternut squash called Butterbush. The fruit was identical in appearance and flavor to the butternut squash that grew on vines. I don't know if this variety is being offered anymore; but, it was a good variety for people who had limited space with which to work. I didn't need to trellis it.

Hi CaliKim. I am a military mom living on base in Japan. I am not allowed to dig up my yard😏, but because of that, I took a bunch of ideas from your channel about growing in pots. I can't be more pleased with how it is turning out. Butternut squash is one of my "crops" this year. I made a trellis out of sturdy poles and green plastic fencing that rests against a wall, and arches over to my vining green beans. So far they are about 8 feet long with 6 healthy squash. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks!

I cut into a butternut squash I had bought the other day, and it was the most gorgeous deep orange color, one of the prettiest I've ever seen, and cooked up beautifully. So I saved the seeds to try growing some this coming year. This past growing season I had some pumpkin plants sprout from an old pumpkin I threw out on the garden in late fall/early winter, so I ended up growing my first pumpkins from volunteer plants! I'm looking into trellising squash and cucumbers next time to save space, and I'm planning to plant pumpkins in with my corn, since I noticed the prickly pumpkin vines keep the wild critters from eating my plants. I really like that arched trellis you have there. Coffee in the garden....mornings don't get much better than that!

I do the same. I take my mug of coffee, walk down the garden paths along my raised beds and roses an sit down for a few minutes next to my chickens before I go to work. When I do a bit watering I tend to take my mug with me and sometimes forget where I‘v put it down because there is always some weeding ore tidying I do at the same time.

I love cooking with butternut squash and threw some seeds directly from my chopping board (pulp and all) into the garden without much thought. Didn't do anything to them. Not a week later they sprouted and have continued to grow and already had some male blooms appear. Really excited about it. I had zero idea how to grow them so this was helpful. Will be making a trellis (I have some slim wood beams that I'll try to hammer together). Crossing my fingers! Great channel!!

I live in San Diego County. I got a butternut squash from Trader Joe's. I took out all the innards and some of the seeds had yellow leaves so I thought I would see if they would green up. I put the whole innards in a plastic cup filled with water and set it on a table on the patio. They didn't turn green. I also had to spray some neem oil due to fruit flies. I decided to bury the whole thing after a week. We have prolific lemon and valencia trees this year and instead of putting the rinds in the landfill, I have been burying them in the yard. I had a week of mushy rinds to bury. I put the butternut squash seeds on top of the citrus rinds and covered with an inch of dirt. In three days the butternut seeds sprouted and we were able to transplant them to other areas of the garden. I tried the same exact thing for spaghetti squash seeds the next week, and 30-40 sprouted. I don't know if it was the week soaking in water, or if the mushy citrus rinds had a role in it. (I didn't water the seeds on top of the citrus rinds until they sprouted.) Big, beautiful sprouts.

I have a very unique winter squash named Red Kuri growing on a cattle panel trellis I customized for my community garden plot. I picked up 3 concrete remesh panels (that's what Home Depot calls them) for about $10 each. Size is 4' wide x 7' long with 4" spaces. My garden plot is 10' x 20'. I started at one end and placed 2 wooden stakes in the ground about 3' apart. I set the 4' side of the first panel at soil level against these stakes. I then bent them the wire panel down to the ground about 4' away and against 2 more stakes, forming a low arch. I took the next panel, set it ground level against the stakes I just used for the first panel, again bent it over into a low arch against 2 more stakes 4' away forming a low arch right next to the first one. Finally I took a third panel, set it against the stakes for my previous panel and bent it over against the final 2 stakes, about 4' away. I ended up with 3 panels bent in low arches one after the other, then planted my Red Kuri winter squash at the base of the first panel and guided it over all 3 panels and all the way to the end. I guided the actual squash between the nearest 4" hole and let it hang down. When I run out of room I'll turn the vines and run them back where I started. I hope you got all that! I would love to send you pictures but can't do it here. Maybe another way? I'm getting lots of comments about it.

I tried to tie my butternut squash to bamboo poles last year, and I got very few squash. I was thinking when they grow on the ground that the vine has the opportunity to re-root to feed the plant & encourage the squash to grow. Or maybe it simply didn't get enough sun? When they're on the ground, they grow ugly spots but when they grow up a tomato cage then the squash looks pretty. And the animals don't pick at them either when growing off the ground. The first year I tried it, I grew like 30. Next year, I grew almost half that. Butternuts have become more difficult, perhaps 1st year was beginner's luck?

With your garden trellised and compartmentalized as it is all over the yard, I'm not sure how to implement your ideas since our garden is just in one place, 5 ft. by 50 feet across the back of the yard and we ROTOTILL every Fall. How do you work your soil every year with those posts and the cattle panel there, for instance -- and in other areas where you have things in a raised bed?

Hi Team, I started growing butternut squash for the first time and they are jumping out of the ground. After seeing your beautiful garden, I have ordered some formal garden arches which arrived yesterday. Can I still train my butternut squash to grow up the arches going in tomorrow when they have already grown horizontally and are now about 4 feet in length? I notice that the baby squash are starting to form and the vines (I have four which I plan on growing over two garden arches) are producing tendrils which is a sign that they want something to climb up on. I noticed that one of the tendrils has latched onto a fallen leaf ;-). Anyhow, I have become addicted to your channel and I think Camera Guy is a keeper and is punching above his weight. Oh and by the way, I am writing to you from a sub-tropic region of Australia. Cheers!

Could you please include information about days to germinate, companion plants and soil ph needed so we can just buy the seeds and are good to go.

Hello Radah, seeds germinate fast! That's one of the fun things about growing squash. It will vary depending on your weather conditions, if you start seeds indoors or out, but generally they will germinate in 5-7 days or sooner. Beans are good companion plants, fix nitrogen in the soil, which will help your squash as they are heavy feeders. Marigolds are always good companion plants as the strong smell masks the smell of the plants and helps keeps the pests away. I generally just drop the seeds in and don't worry about soil ph, but that is certainly an area you could research if you'd like to improve your growing conditions even more. Let me know what you find out! Thanks for watching!

Do you just start items in big red pipe containers or do you let them continue to grow in those? Did you get one big pc. of that and then cut them to smaller ones? (the red planters)

I'm growing Butternut and Spaghetti squash up a cattle panel...Butternut on one side and Spaghetti on the other side...they have met in the middle and I'm wondering if I should prune to stop the growth and put more energy into my squash?? I have 10 Butternut Squash and only 2 Spaghetti squash...something is attacking my Spaghetti squash! I can't even believe how huge my Butternut are...larger than my hand! Woohoo!! Hopefully my Spaghetti will catchup!

I need a cattle panel because I am going to build your arch trellis! QUESTION: Is that one from Lowe’s suitable for arching or is it too stiff and sturdy? Thanks! Love you Kim!
