Planting Butternut Squash and Plot Update

[@yanetcornell2974]

Thank you very much for the tips, I will try this in my garden.👌

[@fionataylor4014]

So, its a year on and I'd like to ask ...how did the butternut do on the trellis??? Any photos/videos of it?

[@charlenegunter9231]

Clever love the squash trellis. Hope it works for you. Beautiful day and lovely garden. Potatoes look great. Chickens are wonderful. Have a great weekend. Nice to see you have your advertising back. Hi Kelly and Otis.

[@diggingfordinner]

Charlene Gunter Thank you me to haha I’m hoping the main stem goes upwards, the weather has been beautiful

[@steveipswich]

Great idea with the canes on the outside for the squash thanks for sharing, your allotment looks good too 🙂

[@carolbarnes4950]

I love your videos,never comment but decided I should just so you know you are appreciated. You have a most interesting garden, love the way you’ve got it set up. Smiles and chuckles from Canada.

[@diggingfordinner]

Carol Barnes ah thanks very much, such a nice comment

I had my 1st squash stew with pasta today and I am not hooked. It kind of tastes like sweet turnip or something its freaking gorgeous. I am going to plant 4 of the seeds I got from the plant and see what I can get this year. Put some netting over your plants, stop the bugs eating them.

Doing the majority of my cucurbits in pots this year, really interested to see how the metro squashes work out, might try them next year, smaller fruits mean less weight on the stems in theory so could be winner for containers.

[@dorindamiddleton5418]

Everything looks amazing Joe! I so impressed with the size of your plants! Just planted my winter squashes, tomatoes and peppers. It’s warm enough here for them to grow outside but my plants are much smaller than yours. I’m trying to get the hang of succession planting. My goal this year is to harvest every month of the year. My first harvest was in March . Ten months to go. Cheers!

Another great video with info and banter .. from an Irish Subscriber as we say here ...Keep er lit .....

[@JCraftProducer]

Looking good! I planted 3 hunter butternut squash last week and 1 pink banana squash today.

[@diggingfordinner]

JCraftProducer sounds great, do you grow them on the ground? I’m hoping this works well lol

[@JCraftProducer]

@@diggingfordinner Yes i leave 1m wide for the plant, 50cm each side of the stem and leave them to cover 4/5m. Hoping to get around 30kg of normal butternut and 3/4 pink bananas (probably 10kg odd each lol, left 70cm either side of the stalk for that one, want it to have loads of space

[@diggingfordinner]

JCraftProducer jeez sounds like a well thought out and planned growing season, let us know how they get on

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

Is there a follow up video on butternuts sir? I would love to see how that project went.

[@lindabuchan5855]

Great idea I was given a butternut squash plant from someone on our allotment, I have not much room left, so you know what I am going to do ........

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Things are really looking good. I forgot about the little pond area. It looks so nice already. What size is your allotment space?

[@allotmental.]

Great idea with the canes, spuds look healthy 👍

[@juliehomer3884]

Great idea joe 👍Lottie looks fab so neat and tidy 😍👏👏

[@myallotmentlife6459]

Poles on the outside of the bucket is a genius idea.

[@pjd2709]

If you have a big store that sells fabric, go to that area a see if they have tule (there is a bridal tule. is a fine one, that's not it) you are looking for a more courser one, it is airly cheap, usually really wide, get a few yards of that and put over your broccoli etc...!

[@pjd2709]

@laughter Yes you can cover almost anything in the garden with the tule. If you use sticks/stakes of any kind be sure to put something over the top of the stick/stake so it dosen't rip the tule. You could even built a frame for your bed out of either a thin wood, or bamboo tied up with jute , or even 1/2 inch PVC tubing long length arched over like a poly tunnel greenhouse. Happy gardening, and cheers to you too!

[@markshaw5835]

Can u over water shallots/ onions

[@diggingfordinner]

You can indeed leading to onion rot

[@markshaw5835]

@@diggingfordinner ok thanks for advice and replying

[@diggingfordinner]

@@markshaw5835 any time mate, they say to plant onions on a hill if you live in very wet areas to avoid them sitting in water for to long

[@markshaw5835]

@@diggingfordinner ok my area not thst wet. But I water every 2 or 3 days. Depending on the weather. My garden gets for hot and the soil dries out very quickly.
