Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I read about that and about every 8 " of growth, put 4 more inches of dirt on it. Or that is what I remember.

Some squash and watermelon grow on more compact bush type plants, while others grow on long vines. The bush ones are easier to grow inside. Fingerling potatoes require " hilling " , which is easily done by just making a " grow bag " with some landscape fabric or using a burlap bag...you roll the bag down like you would a pair of stockings before you put them on, add a little soil and your chits, then as the green starts to pop up through the soil, you roll up the bag a couple of inches, add more soil, and repeat the process until the plants flower, then you harvest the potatoes. Pretty stunning how many of those lil gems you can get from a few chits! > > > > ok how do you do fingerling potatoes? How big does your squash and watermelon plants get? I have a tomato and a bell pepper plant that I havent planted outside yet cause I live in Wyoming and we just had snow again the other day. could I grow these plants indoors? > Thanks > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
