Mmmm pots might work for the gemsquash - do you also have a south african background? <br />Sanddune, same climate - same problems... yours might do better now in the winter? <br />Noel, yes they do say that they require lots of space. That is amazing what you grow in only 6 inches of topsoil! I presume that is on top of volcanic rock.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-34862502049413135172010-09-15T09:19:13.679+10:002010-09-15T09:19:13.679+10:00i love asparagus, if only i had deeper soil, i wou...i love asparagus, if only i had deeper soil, i would grow them in my garden, but since most of my topsoil is around six inches this is not in the works for the moment...have fun growing a whole bed :)Noel Moratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457118286298824928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-22140184282407050262010-09-15T06:14:41.184+10:002010-09-15T06:14:41.184+10:00I have been having the same problems with all my S...I have been having the same problems with all my Squash attemps this year. They seem to have lots of bugs, disease, and less than average growth. Might be the wet weather or mayby they just are in Squash funk. Either way no Squash has made it this year.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-4689805449087399602010-09-14T14:23:39.508+10:002010-09-14T14:23:39.508+10:00I was pleased to see your asparagus and that it...I was pleased to see your asparagus and that it's growing so well. We'd been told it was too hot here and so I've never tried. <br />Our gemsquash have the same problem - do well until we get a week of rain, then mildew and rot. I thought about growing them in large pots next time to keep them a bit drier.Missyhttp://missysgarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
