It has rebar pounded into the ground and then conduit for the structure. I tried to make it like the ones shown in the square foot gardening books. I am using a nylon net. I am guessing that the squash weigh about a pound now and are maby 1/3 to 1/2 their mature size. Then I will get to my next problem and wonder when to pick them. I have never done winter squash before, just summer squash.
