SQUASH 
Winter Squash has a large “running” vine and varieties such as Blue Hubbard, Quality, Table Queen, etc. should be planted 6 to 8 feet apart as 
the vines often extend 20 feet in all directions. Summer Squash grows on a dwarf or “bush” vine, and varieties like Straightneck, Cocozelle, and Bush 
Scallop, etc. can be planted in hills 31% to 4 feet apart.
