Re: hubbard squash, was sqft mail list



  HMM!  I think I will order some and if I can't grow to like it I 
will just donate it to the local senior center.
  The hacksaw is just an easy way to neatly cut it from top to 
bottom.
   I think in planting that one on a corner square would be about 
right for such a large fruit.  Maybe with baby corn in the other 
squares of a four foot bed.  They are good companions I believe.  
that arrangement should leave me with 48 baby corn.  Sounds like a 
good bed to me.
