I only have one squash plant this year, having binned my courgette "Zucchini" in case it was one of the bitter ones.
I'm growing a red kuri-type winter squash, Amoro F1, for the first time, and am really pleased with it, even if it's not suitable for seed-saving. It's incredibly compact but covered in flowers - I counted six females so far, and the bees are loving them too so I have little fear of them not being fertilised!
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!

2 Jack O'Lantern pumpkins (<---actually three forming now. Not sure if I need to lose the latest to the party...)
3 Big Max pumpkin plants (<---one forming a female flower. Fingers crossed)
3 Sugar Baby watermelons
2 Marketmore cucumbers planted outside: 1 +2 = 3
