It was suggested to lead the squash plants to the fence so they can climb along it and not take over the garden. Last year the squash dominated the garden and there was nowhere to walk because the vines ran into everything. But now my question is what happens when a big ole butternut squash starts growing 3' off the ground? Will the vine support its weight or will it eventually get big enough to pull the vine off the fence. Any thoughts on that?
Good question...can you tie the vine to support posts in your fence as it begins to climb?
