RE: Garden update #1
Ya they sound very interesting. That squash got big lol. I am growing some Italian zucchinis this year that look like they are going down the same path as your squash....

Monsters, these plants, monsters! :) And you've got 3-4 in that bed, right? They're gonna take over everything around, but on the other hand, zucchinis are delicious.
Ya i do. Plus some nasturtium at the bottom for pest control. gonna be a big tangled mess soon lol.
A pretty mess though. I'm using nasturtiums as well for that; well... and for eating, heh. Don't have any marigolds though, have put a few basil seeds around hoping they'll catch.
Basil are pretty quick i am sure you will see them soon. Garlic also works really good around tomatoes/peppers/any nightshade plant also. Your greenhouse should keep most of the tomato pests out though!!
Yeah basil are quick, but I just chucked a few seeds around the pebbles so if they fell too deep, they won't grow, a few should make it though. When it comes to pests I've seen a few aphids on the squash I've removed(a ladybird was chasing them though), haven't seen them on the tomatoes yet but I can deal with them just with soapy water.
