What other squash varieties are you growing? I have the pumpkins and butternut this year but I'm interested in trying some more next year.
I'm doing Kabocha and Blue Hubbard~ The hubbard squash was supposed to be a trap crop in the less controlled wildlife garden, but gourd fortune smiled on me and no pests showed up; the vine has gone nuts with 6 viable (large!) fruits on it. It's my second year trying to grow squash, so 2 outta 3 ain't bad!
