If you want a squash that is fairly similar to zucchini, look into upo squash (bottle gourd). They are insane here! I'm in Manoa and planned one of those plants. Out vines and climbs all over the place. My vine was probably 30 ft end to end. It also put out a lot of fruit. I fertilized every other week and had to keep a steady stream of compost on it. It produced like crazy and had no disease or insect pressure. It was amazing! The fish side is that it will take over any where it can climb. It was growing all over my trellises and up my giant mountain Apple tree.

Excited to find your channel!!! I live on kaua’i and I’ve spent the last 4-5 years experimenting with which varieties do best in my garden. Love your screen house… those dang pickleworms are the fricken worst. I have great success with the kilo Napa cabbage. They regularly get to be over 5lbs! I also grow a lot of winged bean, long bean, Roma beans, okra, leeks, kale, peppers… and success with cukes hydroponically. Omg zucchini. Fail every time.

@@dnmckay honestly I just take the seeds from the Costco bell peppers and sprout them. I have the most success with peppers using the kratky method in 5 gallon buckets. I feel like I have a problem.

Japanese cucumbers “suyo long” have done well. “Sun king” broccoli works well for me.. no luck with zucchini or bell peppers!
