    Hi Lee. Discovered your channel this evening. I'm 60 and set to retire in a couple years. One of the things I really want to do is set up an all-year garden. I have watched many of your videos tonight and really am enjoying the content. I feel I'm learning much in the way you present the content and the knowledge you have for each. Plus your zest for life. And helping us understand what we need to do to be a successful grower so we may enjoy the fruits of our labor. Thanks, Lee.

I spent time in Wiltshire when I was in the RAF, much younger then . I'm an 80 yr. old now and always loved the garden, inspired by Britain's love for its gardens.

    Brilliant video! I enjoyed this immensely. Seeing how you used PVC piping to make the trellis was definitely an "a-ha! Now I get it!" moment for me hehe. This will help me to plan next year's balcony garden, incorporating more utility into my limited space. Squash flowers are also a lovely delicacy to eat, if one has many to harvest from without compromising fruit production ;-)

Lots of things growing on, been gardening for 3 summers now and this year is when things are coming to fruition. You're one of the channels I started with when I tried my hand at growing things.

    One of the best videos I've seen for growing squash vertically. I've been doing this for a couple of years though my yield has been less than stellar. I'm wondering if I'm trying to grow too much in too little space. How close together can I grow winter variety squash on a cattle panel trellis? I've been growing 6 plants per cattle panel, three on each side. The panels are 4 feet wide and the arch they form is 9 feet tall.

    Thank you so much for this video and the other about growing squashes from seed. My pumpkins didn't produce many female flowers this year, just lots of males, and the fruit that did start forming, got eaten by something, so nothing for us. We also had a lot of trouble from wind damage on other plants. I really want to try the vertical method next year, as I'm very limited on space. Where did you get your pipes from please? (I'm in the UK).
