I'm Molly and this is my first offical garden! I've always loved plants and growing them but never had enough room for a garden! I live on the front range of Colorado, zone 5.
I have carrots, spinach, radishes(planted too late, bolted), a few different peppers, mostly bell, cabbage, sweet corn, lots of cucumbers, acorn, butternut and zucchini squash, and lots of tomoatos! I think that's it
This looks like a fun and nice place for gardening tips! So any tips for crazy acorn squash!? Its taking over my tomoatos! When it sends out a vine it will grow leaves and flowers but also it tries to root into the ground, can I cut the vine and transplant the cutting? Thanks!
Happy harvest!

wow never heard of that happening with squash vines. but I do know they should be planted away from every thing else so they can spread out! Hi welcome to the forum!

Well they were about 3 feet from everything but now they are being wrapped everywhere I have room left! (including over and in between the fence!) But I have so many I think I might experiment and try cutting and transplanting one, I don't have much to lose since I have about 6 plants and countless blooms... at least they're happy! Thanks!

LOL! If the squash keeps growing at that pace you're going to have to pay the neighbors to help you eat it.
