I would love to experiment growing the different varieties of squash you are willing to give away. I’m in zone 9b in the San Francisco Bay Area that is known to have micro climates within the area.
I’ve tried growing pumpkins, banana squash, acorn squash, calabata, 8ball, zucchinis, and others I can’t remember, but only grew a few measly squash.
In the last two years we’ve added bales of straw that had disintegrated since and a few chickens to help in the process. I think it’s ready to be planted now and I’d put some seeds in the open area shown in this picture (between the avocado tree and the echeveria succulent).
