Squash/pumpkin

grenhouse · « **on:** January 08, 2009, 20:17 »

Hello, been reading for ages so thought it was time to join!

After planning the allotment for the year, i am left with a small amount of space for experimenting!

I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for any squash or pumpkin varieties which take up a small amount of space? Are there any climbing ones rather than ones which sprawl maybe?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
