Thanks for your kind thoughts on the storm, I am nervous for my greenhouse and tunnel as it is rather open here.
Yes I would grow good old Uchiki Kuri which is less rambling and greedy than many other squash plants, and it is easy to flick the stems back into the bed during summer. Then it self-prunes (unless given a huge space of good soil for its roots) and usually just stops growing by late August, just ripening instead.
Interestingly I was given a beautifully ripe-looking Butternut today by an experienced gardener, but am underwhelmed by its flavour and think it needs to mature in wormth to sweeten. Kuri is good from the time it is picked and keeps well too.
