    Yup, in about 3 yrs. I surprisingly got ambitious this year and have around 35 various squash and cucumber plants (not giant squashes), and I have my drip irrigation in place to water while we’re on vacation. I have planted green bush vegetable marrow, Bennings green tint scallop, Patisson golden marbre scallop, Lebanese white bush marrow, orangetti, and Triamble, and then a few cucumber plants. So far I only have a few aphids, and slight beetle damage. If/when the squash bugs find them, I’ll have my work cut out!
