debbie neumann posted a blog postYellow squash in a container
I am just testing out container gardening with beans and a yellow squash. Beans are fine, but I don't know if the squash needs a lot of water, minimal water.

"My veggie garden is easy...its mulched in straw and newspaper. No weeds, just hordes of slugs. I had a wet spring last year...but no where near this amount of infestation or destruction. The bucket-o-death was enough for it last year. This year,…"
