Which squash types will you be growing this Season?
Which varieties will you be growing?
Are they winter or summer squashes?

[legless]

summer squash

Courgette Tromboncino albenga (Swan Neck (climbing))

winter squash (i think - those are the ones with hard skins that can store aren't they?)

Uchiki Kuri
Turk's Turban
Acorn Table Ace
Sweet Dumpling

I grow in my garden as i'm between allotments and the squashes go upwards rather than sprawling.

Squash64 Cocozelle are not courgettes since they are separate squash group. they are also not marrows.
Size i not the determing factor.

[Flighty]

Squash64 Cocozelle is considered to be a fine courgette despite what certain others may think!

I agree with you Flighty, I have grown it for a few years and it is very nice.

Rubbish NEXTGridGardener.

to everyone else I will say this..

Cocozelle are Italian vegetable marrow, used as a zuchinni when picked immature..as are our own marrows/courgettes.

The term zuchinni and courgette are used side by side in most countries,

Cocozelle IS THE SAME family as most summersquash including zuchinnis and marrows, the family being "pepo"

Carry on as you are doing nextgridgardener as he is calling himself this time is not quoting you accurately.

XX Enjoy them, they  are good XX Jeannine
