Cucs/Squash in cages?

Donna
16 years ago

This is my third year to grow veggies in containers, and I want to try squash and cucucumbers this year in a cage. My plan is to put one squash plant and one tomato plant in a very large self watering container that has a 3 1/2 to 4 feet high heavy tomato cage around the container. Anybody have experience with this? Can you recommend varieties that might work best? Will I have to help the vines climb, or will they grab on and go by themselves? I have also considered the bush type cucs and squash, but cannot find seed for squash. Also have gathered from reading different threads that the bushes are pretty big too. Any comments?
