Squash do not grow well in Ireland, and when I fond a variety that produced fairly well in the cool summers that we get, I stuck with it. But I have been wanting to find other varieties and types of squash and pumpkins that also grow well enough to produce an abundant and tasty crop. And this year we finally managed to do a large variety trial, and some of them could work out quite well.
