I've never seen that work. The squash is too rampant here. However, both Dad

Well, I'm happy to try that as well.
We actually have 2m tall corn plants.Just waiting for the silk to arrive.


In summary, we just tend to try everything with everything and see what
happens. In reality swmbo always produces too many seedlings that get
shoe horned in everywhere.


That's the way I garden, too. I try to be a bit more organised, but Things
Happen!


It makes for a more interesting garden too.
