A flat brick. Keeps them from getting soft underneath.

We've had so much rain and clouds that when the afternoon sun hit the
acorn squash today it started wilting and nearly dying from the
intense rays. It sprouted back just as soon as the sun went down
behind some trees. They are gonna be big ones this year, I'm alread
