So my buttercup and delicata squash are huge and taking over, everything looks good and squash are coming on. Do I fertilize with dry or liquid? How does one go about side dressing with dry on huge plants? I have a 2 gallon bucket sunk near plants for deep watering, so should use liquid? Do I use fish emulsion, a tomato solution or a general purpose solution? I did a search but still feel a little confused. First year with winter squash, might be the last if they don't work out because they might be crossing the street soon.

Zucchini are the only plants in my garden I don't fertilize after planting, mostly because I don't want to encourage even more zucchini, LOL

Once the fruits are setting I stay out of the vines, neither weeding nor feeding. I like buttercups, too, but they can run 15 feet or more. You can nip off the ends of the vines if they threaten to take over city hall.
