Just another reminder that just because two plants are similar, it does not mean that they have similar water and soil requirements. Nine winter squash planted; 3 have died or been yanked out in frustration, 5 have not grown at all, 1 has done somewhat okay (the big yellow one in the picture). Probably will scuttle 8/9 once their replacements are big enough. I feel fucking stupid for not doing my research and making their soil right for them.
I don't even like winter squash that much, so I guess it's for the best that it's so damn fragile compared to watermelon out here. Anyone else ever do a big interplanting fuck up like this? It kind of makes me fearful of mixing species again.
