[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4242418, member: 6230"] 1 plant can get 3-4 ft in diameter. space plants at that if in rows. i plant mine in rows but i hill them. i start with 4 seeds spaced in a 2 ft long hill about 4 inches high. i space hills 4ft apart. when the seeds come up i thin to the 2 strongest plants and mulch with straw.(if you have a tendency to have a lot of squash bugs keep the straw 6 inches from the straw) i also plant my rows so that the summers winds will go down the rows instead of across the rows. this will help keep the air between the rows and plants ventilated and help keep the wind from ripping them to shreds. keep the squash bugs picked off and a few plants will raise a bunch of squash.(keep picking them at 4-6 inches, if you stop the plant will stop) you might try some fungicide to keep the bloom rot down so you can salvage some of your crop, thinning plants at that size would be risky.
