Poor Squash plant

Well, I've learned a lot of lessons this year with my garden.

1st lesson:
 Don't plant a squash plant in a high pot.

Why you ask?  Well...my best guest is squash plants like to get really big and apparently from what Ken and his mom told me (long term gardeners) that squash spread out - aka - take up a lot of space.  So I plant this squash in this pot and it grew nicely.  I even had 1 wonderful squash that I ate but as the plant got bigger and the squash started to grow, the heaviness of the squash started snapping the branches of my plant.  I assume the squash planted in the ground in return gets supported by the ground?  Ughh..

So, it died.  The branches kept breaking and all the baby squash shriveled up.  I'm so bummed.  But...... to make up for the loss there, my cucumber plants are really producing like mad.  I've had to have pulled at least 20-30 cucumbers off those plants.  So lets do the math:

1 squash only eaten by Jen (Cody doesn't like and Ken won't eat it)
20-30 cucumbers that Jen, Ken and Cody all eat and enjoy

Winner to the Cucumbers!!!  Sorry poor squash plant.  I won't be trying to grow you next year.  Just don't have anywhere to plant you.
