Hello.
I attempted to grow Spaghetti Squash this past year and it did not go well - the plants were huge but the squash never were bigger than a few ounces and then they would just... die.
I believe that my biggest failure last year was that the planting area was overcrowded (for sure) and the variety of plants around it reduced air flow and caused powdery mildew to appear.
This year, I have my sights set far bigger. I would like to relocate the squash to their own separate, well ventilated and full sun patch. I would also like to grow Klondike Watermelons, a (singular) cucumber plant, a (singular) zucchini plant, 3 spaghetti squash and 1 cantaloupe.
How large of a square would you recommend I till and compost? What would the best arrangement be? I want to use the least amount of space possible and have the most plants possible (as every gardener does). Does anyone with far more experience growing these types of plants have any advice?
P.S. The type of soil I have is Rozetta Silt Loam - if anyone is curious.
