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.

After managing my strange hobbies for years living in the suburbs in an HOA, we finally bought 13.25 acres in rural Collin County, Texas.

We dubbed our piece of Texas "Nonsense Farm"
