Summer squash can be grown in a container (a BIG container).

I believe that most summer squash varieties are bush-type plants, so
they will not need a support.

There seems to be an amazing number of half-wine barrels available this
year. Every time I've gone to a garden center this spring I end up smelling
musty spoiled wine. (Is this just a local phenomenon?) In any case, these
would be big enough to grow a pair of summer squash plants, maybe.
