Growing squash vertically in containers - quick tips for beginners

[@jsantiago8979]

Thank you

[@Greentgarden]

Your welcome.. happy gardening 🌱

[@stevenfeil7079]

If you put the stake in at time of transplanting you don't have to worry about harming the roots.... right?

[@Greentgarden]

So squash and zucchini have big roots. Putting in a garden stake wouldn't cause any big damage to the roots ... Your good to go.. 🌱

I tried trellised squash this year using metal conduit and chicken wire as my frame. I trimmed the leaves and I used tomato clips to hold the vines up. They are producing more fruits then previous year, it is easier for the bees to polinate and easier to find bugs and their eggs. Mine are in the ground though, not in containers. I highly recommend trimming and trellising 😊

[@Greentgarden]

Nicely done , That sounds amazing.. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing with us .. I appreciate it Happy gardening 🌱

I've been asking this on every short I come across but how do you deal with the vine borers? I go out everyday and pick a dozen eggs off and I know I have to be missing some because they are so tiny. And I feel like the leaves don't really like me fondling them everyday because they look a little Droopy when I'm done. They killed all my plants earlier in the season, and I'm afraid they're going to do it again, even though I'm starting to have some baby squash come out now. The plants are almost 2 months old and I know the borers have had time to get in 😢

Do they need FULL SUNLIGHT all day in Hawaii?

[@Greentgarden]

6-8 hours of sunlight is perfect... Have a wonderful weekend ahead 🌱

[@MikeShonVideos]

Thank you very much

[@Greentgarden]

Your welcome... Sorry just saw this.. 🙏🏾🌱

[@cfaith59]

How many seeds do you put in a container for zuccini?

[@Greentgarden]

One plant per a 5 gallon container

[@MiguelAngel-dz4ix]

My summer squash is in a 3 gallon container can I transplant it to a 5 gallon or is it too late?😅

[@Greentgarden]

Yes you can , just take your time.. 3 gallons is definitely a bit small .. you got this 🌱

[@MiguelAngel-dz4ix]

@@Greentgarden Thank you so much for responding!🫶 I transplanted my squash and its doing great. I'm a new gardener and I was terrefied that I had done something wrong 🙏🏻

[@Greentgarden]

Your so welcome.. and very nice.. I am glad to hear that... I love squash.. and don't be afraid.. always plant more then one plant .. for pollination reasons... 2-3 plants is good

[@lesliecalzadillas-maynard6997]

Will they grow taller than the stake?

[@Greentgarden]

Yes zucchini plants will grow about 3- 5 ft tall ( depending on the variety ).these stakes that I have , I could always extend them ..

[@tinazacharias9132]

When is the best time to harvest my yellow squash I wish I could send a picture of them so u can tell me when it's ready 😢

[@Greentgarden]

Yellow squash are best to harvest between 4 to 6 in .. Here's my Instagram. Maybe you could send me a picture there @brownvinkin instagram.com/brownvikin?igshid=NGExMmI2YTkyZg%3D%3D

[@tinazacharias9132]

K done and some pictures as well

[@Greentgarden]

Awesome will check soon

[@wendyburston3132]

​@@Greentgardenwhat if they are a from a hybrid seed, possibly a mix with spaghetti squash?

[@1OKToni]

​@@wendyburston3132For summer squash you don't have to worry about picking too early since even the squash blossoms are delicious. You do have to worry about picking too late because if the fruits are allowed to mature the plant will stop producing.

[@jolIyjoeker]

How often do you need to water containers in full sun?

[@Greentgarden]

Every 2-3 days ...

[@josephauld6565]

5gal. Container ??

[@Greentgarden]

Yea it's a 5 gallon... Grows pretty well

[@JDgardener01]

My squash plants are that size and are starting to grow flowers, is that normal?

[@Greentgarden]

Yes it will attract some bees .. good for the garden

[@indy_J]

Those green stakes have a California Prop 65 warning on them. At least the ones at Lowes does. Just thought I would mention it because I personally wouldn't want to have such a thing near food that I'm growing. I don't know if the plant in turn will absorb it and then you absorb it in a sense.

[@Greentgarden]

Oh thanks for sharing that. I had got these on Amazon and they got you know all this eco-friendly stuff. I will definitely double check on it though.. Thank you very much for sharing that and bringing it up to me.. have a wonderful Sunday 🌱

[@HighAltitudeRC]

No way those pots can sustain a squash plant with out constant liquid nutrients. What do you do ?

[@Greentgarden]

So you are absolutely right about water and nutrients. So I normally water every 2 to 3 days. I add fertilizer every two weeks and so far it works well.. but I do recommend bigger pots .. but can it grow in a 5 gallon container absolutely.. just a bit more work i guess... I will do more updated videos to show progress..

[@lyndsayspence378]

IMPOSSIBLE to find the correct update video for this video, i would suggest you start posting the links to the update videos in the comments and pic it to top comment and you should get much more views

[@Greentgarden]

Sorry about and your right...that makes sense.. I will look for the update video and link it there later today for sure... Happy Sunday gardening 🌱

[@bwenluck9812]

There's no way those dinky little bamboo poles are going to support the weight of those plants....

[@Greentgarden]

Lol I used to think the same way too.. but it's strong .. growing squash 3 years now with these stake

[@lyndsayspence378]

UPDATE VIDEO

[@kayhilgenfeld470]

Why don't you guys ever show two months down the road. Let people know if your steaks are strong enough and tall enough and if you're containers are big enough.

[@Greentgarden]

I do have some updated videos on harvesting months after.. a 5 gallon container works great and I recommend 6ft stake .. no problem

[@THEbrownKUSH]

3" 👍

[@sarahmostacci1154]

Max that’s two gallons.

[@Greentgarden]

This is a 5 gallon container..

[@stevenfeil7079]
