Cobnut - grew seeds and planted four out in soil enriched by garden
compost. The plants grew to cover a total of about 2m x 4m. Fruits : one
massive marrow sized. two football sized and one sensible grapefruit
size. Can anyone recommend a variety/ technique to get a fair number of
smallish squash ?

That's more than Ive got. I put in 3 squash plants. They have a good
spread of stems and leaves but no sign of fruit at all !
