What is your favorite type of squash to grow? I personally love spaghetti squash but have a hard time growing it. I also love growing zucchini. I find this is one of the easiest types to grow.

I like to grow the yellow squash, I am not sure how easy it is to grow but that is the one I like to eat.

Sometimes we have squash in the backyard from the seeds that we toss, tossed seeds are not expected of anything so when something grows from it, we just water it and let it grow. Over here, the squash flower is eaten as vegetable, it is a favorite ingredient in pakbet, a rural folk dish containing pork and sometimes fish. What's good in squash is that it is not delicated although it needs a lot of space because it is a crawler.

Zucchini is my favorite squash to eat! I make soup with it and grilled it or just broasted in the oven during the winter. I grew zucchini one year and had no problem with it!

To be honest, I don't really like squash, but I sometimes eat fried zucchini slices, they aren't that bad.
I can't grow zucchini though, because I don't have enough space.

I haven't actually ventured into the squash growing world yet! I'd love to grow my own spaghetti squash though. It's something I got hooked on as a pasta alternative when living in the States, but now in Japan I can't find it anywhere in stores, nor can I find seeds to grow it! :(

I agree with you, I find that zucchini and summer squash are the easiest squash types to grow, and they produce a ton of squash! I also love spaghetti squash, but I usually end up buying it at the farmer's market because mine never makes it. I also usually grow pumpkins and acorn squash as well, with moderate success.
