For squash I'm only growing a few varieties of summers:
Parthenon Parador Zephyr Magda
Parthenon and Parador are parthenocarpic. I grew these last summer and they were the first to yield and gave me a ton of fruits.

Well it looks like I kind of dropped the ball on posting in this thread lol. Anyway my garden is larger than it has ever been before.It use to be I had only room for four hills of the larger pumpkins and two hills of pie pumpkins. But now I should be able to get away with about ten total. Except for the regulars I normally plant I am going to limit the number of plants per hill. Atlantic Giant has to be one plant in the hill from the start to even think of growing a good giant. and I might end up doing that with the specialty pumpkins like Rouge Vif d' Etampes to fit everything or most everything in. The Howden and a couple others have special consideration because they are the main Halloween pumpkins. pie pumpkins and kobacha have that too for the holidays. The mini pumpkins can be grown on a trellis. All the French pumpkins will be there as well. So it is about time to decide what to do cuz planting time is fast approaching.

Atlantic Giant has to be one plant in the hill from the start to even think of growing a good giant. Kevin Have you started your Atlantic Giant seeds yet? And that hill needs a lot of prep work before you put that plant in the ground.

And that hill needs a lot of prep work before you put that plant in the ground. Your right about that prep work! Gonna wait a few more days to start my giants though. As you know the plants grow quickly once they are up so I don't want to take any chances.Been keeping an eye on the forecast here. If I wait a few more days say around the 15th that should give me the time I need.This will be the only part of my vine group that will be started inside. On another note I am really looking forward to the Kobacha squash.These made some of the best pie I had in a long time last year. We only had three to work with for the holidays so I am hoping that they will do even better. Should be interesting to compare them to the pie pumpkins. Kevin

I was pleased to have Amira seedlings emerging yesterday. Today, there they were, Gone! M@%#e^.....Tree Rats....or Crows I'm assuming. I planted more and put whirlygigs in the hills along with a rather large scarecrow in the garden.
As far as Winter Squash this is what I transplanted last week:
Red Kuri PA Dutch Neck Pumpkins (2 strains) a Cross of Violina..very large fruits I'm told Amish Pie Long Trailing English marrow Galeux d'eysines Musquee de Provence Queensland Blue Sweet Meat Fortna Calabaza Winter Luxury Pie Paraguayan Zapallo
