Lol, you're making my mouth water with your description. Many thanks for looking too, I had tried to do a search but could't find anything, I wasn't sure if it was not coming up in a search because I'm in the UK or no seeds.

Squash Plottie, I've planted loads this year, though not much to show at the moment, C. maxima on the left, moschata on the right which are mostly butternuts .
It's my first year planting through plastic membrane/mulch, I'm hoping it works out well if they ever get a move on.

Interesting that you plant your squashes in membrane.  Mine root all the way along, as they grow, so get moisture etc all along the stem.  But surely they can't have that benefit, if on membrane?

I know and I'm not sure how it is going to work out, I can see little roots forming but whether they will be able to push through I don't know as the membrane is quite thick. I'm hoping what they lose by not having secondary rooting will be offset by no weeds, moisture retention from the mulch, cleaner fruits and any soil warming benefits. A bit of an experiment for me this year, but on early progress I think one I'll do again next year.

Rain!?  Hasn't really rained all summer here...  Well we had one day a couple of weeks back and a dribble on Tuesday but the soil is sooo dry right now.  Having said that I do have some massive Kuri plants.  The Walnuts (BNS) still struggling though..
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
