Hey, as long as they grow and produce for your climate and are tasty then no problem. Squash won’t grow here at all.

Squash, as long as they aren’t an excessively long season variety—like Jumbo Pink Banana!—do well for us. I tried the banana two years running, and got only 1 or 2 smallish (for them) ones each year. Unsuccessfully tried several different tricks to extend their season long enough & still keep them happy, as we love it, but they don’t even sell them here.

We still have around 50 pumpkins out buried in the snow; like a lot of the squash, corn, and the sunflowers, I grew them to mainly feed to the chickens this winter. The dried corn & sunflower stalks will go to the rabbits.
