The message
from "Dwayne" contains these words:

Janet, I planted only 3 butternut squash plants, and have picked 4 to
5 from
each plant already and still have several smaller ones left on the vines.
One will make it before the freeze comes, but the rest are really
small and
I have my doubts.

If I were you, I would try both to satisfy your curiosity, but I always go
back to the butternut. One year I borrowed a rather large piece of a farm
to put a garden on, and I planted 16 kinds of squash. Several were good,
but only one was better than the butternut. I planted some of that one at
my cousins place this year, and it didnt do anything.

Whereabouts do you live? Mine are growing in a polytunnel so they should
have a good amount of warmth. The plants are huge and they got off to a
good start at the beginning of the season so I'm not sure what else I
could have done to get more squashes. I have a couple of plants outside
and they haven't produced anything of any size at all.

What was the squash which did better than butternut on your borrowed farmland?
