If I was to grow zucchini in pots would a tripod of Brunnings bamboo stakes be enough support? (The thin kind?) Or should I go for a thicker individual wooden stake for each, or a cheap wooden lattice?
I probably wouldn’t be letting the fruit get full size. More young tender zukes
Zuchs don't usually need staking as they form a rosette style bush. Maybe one thick sturdy stake to tie the growing tip up to.
Thanks, that sounds nice and cheap.
I want to do tiny sugar pumpkins too but that might be too many plants
Pumpkins do tend to sprawl - these will need a trellis or something.
Maybe in future then
I’ve never staked zucchinis, the grow in a sprawling style. From memory I think the stalks might be a bit too fragile for forcing upright? I’m no expert though, just what’s worked for me.
Ah I kinda have to though. Using pots in a limited space and trying to keep the fruit off the ground.
I’ll try to be very careful with wide fabric ties and picking them small
