We’ve got 2 spaghetti squash seedlings, should 6ft x 6ft be a big enough patch for them or go a bit bigger?
Not sure about spaghetti squash (never grown them) but that doesn't sound too unreasonable - they're a fairly small squash, right? The winter squash I'll be putting in say 4-5ft between plants.

I was on a zoom with a mate in Scotland last night, he’s just dug a pumpkin terrace. Essentially it’s an 8ftx2ft bed at the top of a short slope around 30° angle. The slope is covered in a sheet of membrane with a rope net over the top.
In theory the pumpkins tumble down the slope and can easily be given a nest of straw etc as they grow.
He’s not tried it before but has found previously that growing them on a bit of a slope worked for him.
Will get pics once things are growing there.
