Bet NC said about squash: "Anybody got suggestions about which variety for this?"
The standard winter squash is Butternut, but some smaller varieties like Baby Butternut, HoneyNut, etc. might do better on trellises.
My wife's favorite is Delicata (she just roasted the last one I grew last summer and ate the whole thing before I got a chance to sample it!).
Acorn squashes mature fairly quickly and are good eating. I like Carnival, but there are dozens of other choices like Table Queen, Uconn and Honey Bear.
I don't grow many summer squashes but I'll tell you one to avoid, Magna. 3 plants, 1 fruit last year.
