(That's not actually my name.) Wow. I myself don't like squash, but the rest of my family does, and they loved it. We even froze some for Thanksgivivg(even though it was harvested 2 months before)! It was the first time we grew squash, so we were puzzled as to why the seed packet said to plant them 6 feet apart. We ignored that and planted them 4 feet apart. The plant invaded the rest of our garden and almost invaded the neighbor's yard. Even though, it was still really fun to grow.
