Squash in the shade...

13 years ago

So I got a few kabocha-style squash growing in a bed that gets a lot of shade. I bet they only get 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, if that. However, if the young squash grow quickly I will be able to lead them out onto areas where they will get full sunlight for most of the day (say 6 or 7 feet from the base of the plants).

So I am wondering, will the plants be able catch up in this setup? Also, can I somehow stimulate fast growth so they can reach more sunlight? Will that help them?
