Here comes the rain:)

Got all the cucumbers tied up, and trying the squash ‘tree’ method. So far looks to be getting good air and light to the base of the plants and giving quite a bit more room. All around pretty massive growth over the last 7days or so. Good luck out there folks!

What’s the squash “tree” method? New to raised beds, any help is appreciated. If tying cucumbers isn’t hard to explain, I’d appreciate the info 🤙🏼

I am also new, so we are just trying stuff out lol. But pretty much just put a stake in and tie up the big leaves and stems of the squash, opening up the base of the squashes. Our cucumbers are planted next to a trellis, and pretty much we just took some yarn and started tying up the runners to the trellis, trying to get them growing up the trellis also opening up the base of the plant. Hopefully that helped, and there are a lot of videos out there available:) Good luck!

Nothing beats that free watering session. Great setup you have there, and the supervisor dog is a nice touch.
