It works great once the main leader vines are long enough to go over the top wire of the cage. Makes the squash easier to find too! Slap a tomato cage over that puppy and train them up and over.

I've never had anything make 7 squash a day! but mine are producing fine. The best they've ever done in a SQ foot garden was when I trellised them. @Brown Thumb Mama--I can't see you! Are you in there! Knock twice if you can hear me! @Amanda--It will shock the plant a bit since it's probably rooted in those squares, but the stem can take it if you move slowly. They're much less brittle once they get big. @Annie &Amanda--That's my friend's garden that I was taking care of. I threw the keys in the bed (not realizing that it was photographed until you mentioned it) because I had TOTALLY lost then in the grass the day before. Keep an eye out for me. I lose them all the time. Never neglect mentioning seeing the keys in a photograph. HA! @Possenti2264–weird! I’ve never had anything make 7 squash a day! but mine are producing fine.

We had three squash plants, placed about 3 ft apart where they produced 3-7 squash per day for about 1 month. We then planted a square foot garden with four squash plants, one per square foot. The plants in the square foot garden only bear 1 squash per week each, and seem to have stopped growing. Still green, just not growing. How well have your squash plants produced?

I have a giant zucchini plant taking over my main bed, is it too late to make it grow the other way? I am afraid of damaging it....its taking over 9 or so squares....
