I am now recovering from the over and over bending/crouching to get the staples pounded down all around the planter. Sometimes you have to do something your body doesn’t want to do - but the net is up and I was determined to get this done.
I would suggest if you do this, leave your 5 lb. Yorkie in the house. She was so interested in my activity, she went in where the net wasn’t stapled yet and walked down the onion planter, bending over some onions. I didn’t kill her but had to work my arm through the net to get her out.
A question about the “T” huge squash plant. There are hard pods growing all over the plant and I don’t see how these hard things could be flowers that will open. Some of them are as long as over one inch. Is it possible for a squash plant to not have flowers and these hard pods are developing squash? Maybe I will have to research this plant to see if it is defying pollination. Have any of you grown this squash?
The “T” squash does flower. The flower comes out at the end of those hard pods. If you click on this link, there is a flower at the end of the pod:
No I have never grown this squash. I grew a zucchinni and a pumpkin the first year I gardened. I hated the squash bugs, and I don’t like zukes at all. Pumpkin I like for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. No one else likes pumbking.
They take lots of space, and like you, I have limited area. So I leave all the zukes and squashes up to hubby. Sometimes he messes with it and sometimes not.LOL
—5lb Yorkie— Did I tell ya that we have a new addition to the family here at the Ranch. We got a 1 lb bouncing, biting baby girl Poodle. Wife found somebody that had a bunch of puppies last weekend and one hitched a ride home with us. Raising a puppy at our ages! Picture later.
