Growing Crooked Neck Squash Vertically

How do I grow my crooked neck squash vertically? Can I use a tomato cage?



ANSWER:

Yes, you can use a tomato cage, a fence, trellis, or any other support that you have available.

When the squash plant begins to grow, just train the vines by placing them on or around the support that you want them to climb.

You will need to do this several times, as the plant will continue to send out new growth that will sprawl on the ground if you don't help it get started climbing the support structure.
