Thanks for the welcome. I also have ground squirrels but my cat and dogs keep them in check, my main problem is my chickens. They eat almost anything! I have to fence and cage everything. What a pain!!
Darn chickens. Ohh Well they are fun.
Anyways I only have had one problem so far this year. My squash have been falling off before maturing. I read a thread on the subject and have concluded that it may be due to heat and lack of constant water. I use old tires as raised planters and have now added a constant slow drip to my squash to see if that fixes my problems and also did a little hand pollination as well.
hopefully that will help. I am
growing Zucchini and Mexican Squash if any one has any info on these varieties that I should know about let me know I have successfully grown Zucchini in the past but not the Mexican Squash. Thanks again.
