Crikey! Here in N. Wilts I don't even start mine in seed trays in the
greenhouse until late May. They always catch up anyway, and we have had 140
lbs of winter squash this year, and about 20 lbs of pumpkins and marrows and
other earlier perishers. Being short of storage space, I have to store the
winter squashes on newspaper on the floor under the dining room table, so no
dinner parties until next spring.

Get some of those net carrot/onion sacks from a greengrocer and hang the
squashes &c up in them.
