I've been given some seeds but no info on how to propagate the
plants

2 years ago someone gave me a spare plant. I planted it without much
preparation and forgot it and went away for 4 weeks. On my return my
allotment was rather overgrown, to say the least! The squash plant
seemed to have done nothing but had disappeared in amongst the
raspberry canes, bindweed and helleboes! Only in the autumn when
tidying up a bit did i find about 10 feet of vine and 4 nice fruits.
That certainly thrived on neglect. It didn't get fed or watered. Wish
I'd saved some seed now.
