Squash is definitely one to plant after the ground warms up and the chance of frost is gone. I don't love squash anymore but I think yellow summer squash or pattypan squash would be nice. For 'winter'squash I think butternut and acorn taste best. The difference is that summer squash is ready earlier and winter squash is ready with the pumpkins.

I think I will make a list of veggies and when to plant according to temps. Everyone should find out their local frost free date. Mine is May 15. We get frost on our low garden every year on the second week of May so I wait until the third week to plant tender stuff. It is hard to do since everyone else is planting and I want to too! One year we had severe frost after I planted. I covered my toma and pep and they still died! So I learned my lesson. This year I am trying wall o'waters.
