Growing Chayote Squash in a container garden:<\/h1>\n

Growing chayote squash is a win win project. It can be eaten from the root to the fruit and makes a lovely live covering for a gazebo as well. This unique native plant from central America has an interesting history. At one time it was considered as a replacement for the invasive kudzu vine which was introduced as a forage plant for cattle [ which proved to be a bad move \ud83d\ude42 ]<\/p>\n

Chayote is a rather bland flavored squash like a lot of winter squash are but readily take on the flavor of spices which makes them a desirable addition to a meal. It remains crisp after cooking and has the flesh color of Granny Smith apples. During the depression , some bakers made them into apple pies as the texture cooked was almost the same and they readily accept the spices and sugar.<\/p>\n

The propagation methods are wildly cool also! You plant the whole fruit AFTER it develops a sizable sprout. The squash is a flattish semi hard lime green pear shaped fruit and the sprout comes from the end that has an indentation . Some says it looks like a butt crack but I think it looks like a grimacing old man’s mouth<\/p>\n

\"Chayote
Chayote is starting to yellow and darken in areas but still very solid. Leaves look like they will be small too<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Sheila
Sheila laid the chayote fruit in a hanging ivy basket with a light on it and they are sprouting nicely. Temps in house are low 70’s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"It
It seems the chayote sprout is going to disconnect from the straps on the side but planting instructions say plant whole fruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Our
Our chayote sprout about 3 weeks old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Chayote
Sheila’s chayote sprout about 3 weeks old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the sprout gets a little length on it the fruit will show signs of aging and is ready to plant. Sheila put it in a 5 gallon bucket in our bucket garden. Since the plant can reach lengths of 50+ feet it will require a lot of fertilizer we are sure. At this point the plant shows no sign of how big the leaves will be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Leaves
Leaves a little tattered due to cold and wind. They are furry feeling and thick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"They
They are starting to tendril and climb pretty good. Temps are low 70’s daytime and low 50’s nights now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"One
One has 1 main stem and another has 3 now! Leaves are very thick. Thicker than spinach for sure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Sheila
Sheila forgot when she planted the chayote in the picture. We think about the middle of February. They are really growing now though<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
2017 garden start. It is April and still some chilly nights. Chayote in the far right hand of picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chayote squash. They will not do to well in the 5 gallon buckets so we are starting some in larger tubs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
