Rise and Shine yellow squash

[TJay]

While I was poking around on the interweb I saw something from Burpee (I think) touting Rise and Shine squash, which is a squash created to grow vertically. I know you can train squash to climb a trellis or something but it looks like you just stake these and grow them vertically. Anyone had any experience with them? I don't have a lot of room in my little spot and if I can find them I may give them a try.

Sounds like something I’d like to try

I saw a post about them, no experience but neat idea of they will.
Maybe make missing that one elusive squash that grows to a base ball bat size a thing of the past.

Hoss Tools carries the seed.

I didn't see it. Does Hoss call it by another name? Is it a summer or winter squash?

Let me do some checking.

It's a burpee variety, should be able to get it from any burpee dealer.

Yep, it was Burpee where I saw them. Sorry about that.
