Planted another with 6 zuccs in a topsy turvey,but roots pretty poor so we shall see,the others are really taking off,so far so good,no blight or powdery mildew to be seen! I added a teaspoon of slow release fertilzer to the others,they liked that.Oh,and the new berries and grapes all doing good too,awesome!!!!!!

This is the one from last week planting,typical root bound nursery stock zuccs,but they are growing and should make it.... The squash and cukes,growing very well,covering container,no heat issues so far at all.

Interesting that folks are using the canvas style reusable grocery bags for these topsy turveys instead,just poke holes in sides and good to go,at a buck a piece if these actually produce fruits I will go whole hog in this next year,seems to be a good plan for us in suburban settings without ground or good sun on ground areas or mildew type soil issues.
