Squash are very fast growers, usually ready to harvest in about 50 days. i like to plant it every three weeks, so as older plants are dying back i have new plants just starting to produce!treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403506013028317754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449139792558708537.post-43597271797790243032012-07-25T14:02:29.394-04:002012-07-25T14:02:29.394-04:00Hello I have squash plants and they were just star...Hello I have squash plants and they were just starting to bloom but yesterday we got a big storm and it almost ruined my plants the main stems aren't broke,just a few of the other stems were so do you think its possible for them to recover?this is my first little garden and I've been excited and patiently waiting to see some thing to harvest.miss,keybienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449139792558708537.post-66724814928067758402012-07-07T08:16:10.602-04:002012-07-07T08:16:10.602-04:00That is very interesting!

They will typically be ready to harvest in 45 to 55 days. i like to stagger my planting, and plant new seeds about every 4 weeks. So as th older plants are dying back, i have new plants starting to produce. i'm just starting seeing squash bugs, and removed a bunch of eggs this morning. My biggest threat are the vine borers. You can use the floating row covers to control the squash bugs and borers. That's my pln every year, and i still haven't purchased them yet. lol.treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403506013028317754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449139792558708537.post-37851344439157673942012-07-05T13:33:34.352-04:002012-07-05T13:33:34.352-04:00All of mine have died this year, because of squash...All of mine have died this year, because of squash bugs. We didn't have any last year, but this year there are hundreds. I've tried killing them one by one - the squish method. I've tried daily cayenne treatments. I've tried vinegar. I've even resorted to Sevin. But still, the squash bugs won :-( I'm so sad we won't have any summer squash or zucchini this year.Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.com
