Here’s my short list. Finally got some trellising up and a new place ready for squash. Deciding between these this week,I know it’s late but I may be able to get in just under the wire ,especially if we have a late first frost:
Testukbuto ( needs a maxima or moschata pollinator)
Kabocha
Cushaw or Seminole ( which is sweeter and/or shorter season?)
Trombocino
Butta
Romanesco zuchinni or maybe a hybrid bush zucchini
Maybe will also do Speckled Hound squash.
Might swap out trombocino for something else, not sure what. Maybe spaghetti squash or Georgia Candy Roaster. Or, just grow both cushaw and Seminole.
I haven’t had any success with squash in North Carolina but haven’t tried the c.mixta,c.moschatas or hybrid species yet. I sort of quit trying after a couple of total failures when we first moved here. I did pretty well with squash in Arizona which makes it even harder to accept the failures here,especially since other things grow so easily here,if I get past all the bugs.
