I saw some time ago some japanese corgettes growing in someones garden.
This
seems to fit the bill. Fast growing big leaves that spread quickly, but
have
one base point that can easily be dug up.

Send me your address, and I will post some seeds of Little Gem and
Queensland Blue squashes. Both are excellent winter eating. They
will need some attention to get going - I recommend starting them
indoors and planting out when they start to spread (i.e. pot them
on until they are in 5-8" pots, but will do the job.

Be warned - the latter are extremely aggressive.

Nick, I myself dont have the time at the moment to get really involved. But
many thanks for the kind offer. Aggressive ! they are not Triffids are they
?

No, not even the most somnolent allotment holder moves slowly enough
to be strangled by the tendrils. But they are likely to invade
neighbouring allotments and even further.
