I've been growing "Cobnut" successfully for a few years. It produces
very nice "butternut squash" fruits.

The only problem is that I get about 3 fruits weighing 4 pounds per
plant. It would be much more convenient for me to have 12 fruits of 1
pound.

Is there an alternative cultivation technique that will give me lots of
little squashes?

Or, is there an equally nice, easy to grow variety that will give me
lots of little squashes?

Thanks!

This year I'm doing 'le zucche' which are around 10 different pumpkins
and squashes in one pack from Franchi sementi.

You can find patipan squashes which are baby squashes and others at
seedfest. I've recently tasted a patti pan squash blanched and filled
with cream cheese with herbs - it was out of this world ))
