A little squash patch can produce a lot of food!

I love the picture too. I think my entire yard could probably fit inside of your squash patch. I grew one Tahitian squash and it tried to take over half my yard and the neighbor's too. I grew a gourd on a fence a couple of years ago and it was 50 ft long and kept trying to grow across the garden gate.

Squash is fun to grow like everything else in my garden. I think high TN humidity is what kills my squash we get about 6 zucchini from each plant then plants get stem rot and die. I plant 1 squash seed about every 3 weeks all summer to keep squash coming as other plants die. I like yellow crook neck squash but did not buy seeds this year but I still might. When weather gets hotter & dryer I think plants do better. I planted spaghetti squash & acorn squash it rained non stop for a month I guess seeds rotted in the swamp. I planted again no rain for 3 weeks seeds never came up. Oh well we don't eat much squash anyway, zucchini bread sure is good & so is sliced squash with onions & garlic. Oven baked spaghetti squash with pizza sauce & meat is our favorite.
