Garden Stake

I just planted some butternut squash in my garden, i spread them 14-18 inches apart, is this enough i just?

realized these are vning crops so im scared they will get in yo my tomatoes, could i stake these plants?

Build you some trellis to grow butternut squash..they are a winter squash and vine out 10 or 12 feet on al sides if not made to run up a trellis..when I say winter squash, it means they actually are planted when warm but they mature late fall to early winter...they are prolific climbers..

Backyard Flower

What flowers should I plant in a small backyard?

This is the first time that I've ever had my own house to decorate, and I'm really excited to plant flowers/garden, etc. However, my backyard is really small. Any ideas of how I can have pretty flowers in my backyard but still have enough room to have people over for a barbecue?

Take the measurements of your back yard. Decide where you want your entertaining area to be, allow enough room for people to walk around the table and chairs and anything else you might have, like a BBQ. Then try to picture what you would like to see from that viewpoint, also from any windows in the house. I have noticed that people with small yards usually make gardens around the perimeter of the yard and leave the center open. Make the garden edges with some shape to them, they do not have to be straight edges. Flowers depend on the zone that you are in and then pick your favorites and also plant different ones that bloom at different times, that way you will always have a colorful display. I always recommend perennials(they come back every year). You can have a few annuals here and there or in some planters. Don't be shy let your imagination go, gardening is fun and very relaxing. Add a bird bath or water feature, bird feeders, hummingbird feeder. A few lights, the list is endless. Have fun!
