Crown Prince squash.

This is my first attempt at these,I cleared an old Strawberry bed in December raked in some chicken manure pellets and covered with about 4 inches of rotted horse muck.
The area is 5mx3m and in February I covered the area with Mypex and plan on leaving it on during the growing season.
I’m planning on growing 4 plants,is this correct? and how many squashes should I leave on each plant,to mature?

4 plants is good for that area Paul.
Just leave all fruits, the plants automatically shed any fruits they cannot mature.

Thank you Charles, for you informative reply.I will leave them on and let the plant decide,at the end of the day I wan’t the flavour but not 12lb monsters..
