    Thanks for this very informative video. Due to my age, I am having to transition my gardening into a smaller, more easily accessed space, which means mostly in containers. Having always grown squash traditionally and allowing them to sprawl, I didn't think I would be able to include them. I am eager to try growing my squash vertically in containers this year. Thanks again!

      I lived on Long Island and liked your video. . Very informative. You’re one of the first people who referred to it as crookneck. Spot on. My grandpa had a huge garden in Massachusetts and taught me the names of all the fruits and vegetables he grew. Watching you is informative and like comfort food for the mind.

    I also like the staked idea and will use it. However, your squash are all very puny, they ought to have been big and filled out with smooth skins. Those at the bottom are too old to use and have been nutrient-starved, the ones further up are also nutrient-starved. The leaves provide the sun energy to grow large squash. Leave them on until they start yellowing then trim them off. I have always grown mine in the ground and was looking for the recommended container size as I am now going to grow some in containers.

      Thank you for sharing , do these squash are small crookneck hybrid squash.. or meant to harvest between 5- 6 inches ... However, the summer squash grows bigger. They look the same but they're not. And also you have the straight neck squash too. There's a lot of different varieties.. have a wonderful weekend 🌱

      @@Greentgarden Crookneck squash has been my favorite type of summer squash for the past 70 years. Crookneck, along with straight neck squash, zucchini, and many other squash that are harvested while small with newly formed tender seeds are all called summer squash. Winter squash are the ones such as spaghetti, butternut, acorn and several others which are allowed to fully mature on the vine, seed and skin hardened. These are called winter squash because they store well without refrigeration and used throughout the cold winter months. I have grown many different types of squash, both winter and summer varieties. Most of these summer squash are ready to be picked and used from about 4 days after the blooms wither up until about another 5 days after which they have over-matured and the seeds will have began to harden. I am raising crookneck, straight neck and zucchini summer squash this year and will also raise a few plants of winter squash butternut and spaghetti. Nitrogen makes the plants grow and green, potassium and phosphorus develop good roots and fruit. BTW, zucchini squash is both a summer and winter squash. Picked small it is useful in salads, fried and such. When they are large, like 24 inches long and 6 inches in diameter they can be cut in half, seeds scraped out, then baked with seasonings on them such as butter, cinnamon, and sugar for a tasty dessert-like dish. Or used in many other ways. I am going to use your staked idea as I now live in the city and don't have the room to allow them to spread. Thanks.

    Im in zone 8b, nw louisiana and I have tried 3 years to grow squash!! I have miserably failed! Its like my male and female flowers dont grow at the same time. I tried hand pollinating them last year. Im trying again this year. Ive done ground and container. Im going ground this year.

      Try to grow at least 4 plants this way you could You could pollinate the plants easier.. Also, if you have zucchini and squash plant you could always do cross pollination which does work... Make it water enough , get at least 8 house or sun and wants the plant is growing big start fertilize every 2 weeks

    This is my second-year gardening, I live on the Oregon coast, our temps hover around 72 - 75, I have 4 Crookneck plants, so far I had only one female, she was stressed and did not take, all other blooms are male, I am not seeing any females, do they come on later? they are all in very large containers.

    • @Greentgarden
      @Greentgarden  Рік тому +1

      You should increase your fertilizer and keep adding every 2 weeks. Also, if you do light pruning and remove a couple of male flowers , This will speed up the growing process and bring female flowers faster..

      If you have any squash or zucchini plants you could cross pollination take pollen from another male flower , if not yes keep removing some flowers or if you have a longer garden season you could wait until the plant starts growing male
