I have a smallish veg plot that I am currently planning and preparing.
We generally eat a fair amount of Butternut squash - so I am thinking
about having a go growing them, or another squash variety.



A belated reply, sorry, but if your veggie plot is small
you should know that squash takes up a lot of room.
Last year I put up some canes and got them to grow
vertically. They have tendrils and will climb with a
little persuasion, taking up much less room.
