I Planted Spaghetti Squash

October 1, 2017 by Cathi Leave a Comment

Growing Spaghetti Squash
I planted spaghetti squash this weekend. That may have been a mistake.

So, I planted Spaghetti Squash this weekend.  It’s a winter squash, right?  Well it turns out that this squash needs a long time of warm weather to mature.  Oh well..this is Texas…we’ll see what happens.  Winter doesn’t get really bad here until January.

Even then, “really bad” is somewhat relative.

I have this square bed between my two peach trees because, originally, I planned on planting dwarf peach trees.  As it turned out, the peach trees that came into my life were full sized.  So, I left this square bed empty.  Eventually, grass overtook it and it was a mess.  A few months ago I covered it over with cardboard and left it until yesterday.  I pulled the cardboard out and pulled out the dead grass and found a ton of earthworms, which was GREAT to see.

 

So, while this squash may not have enough time to mature, it has great soil.

Stay tuned.

Meet Cathi

I have what most people would consider strange hobbies. Even though I live in a suburb in an HOA, I have a large garden. I also have 18 chickens and an apiary with 10 bee hives.
