Fall Squash = Butternut and Acorn

                          
OOOHH, my little fall squashes are doing so well!  This is the first time I've tried growing them.   Acorn on the left and butternut on the right.
I used some little fencing to help end them vertical in an attempt for them not to sprawl out all over the yard.  It was an idea I took from Square Foot Gardening.  I have very limited space yet insist on growing things like squash, melons, sweet potatoes and WAY too many tomatoes!
       
I wonder how it will work...  I still need to put some trellising in the middle and plan on supporting the squash (pantyhose slings??) as they grow.  We'll see!
