Our first butternuts came unexpectedly with something that got added to the soil mix, as best I can tell. They sprouted on the edges of what was to become a lawn the next summer, and ran for 40' in whatever direction they pleased. They tucked in around the citrus and the roses, and grew dozens of fruits, which were much appreciated at the holidays.

Now, there are more rules about what goes where, but the veggies aren't nearly as much fun as they used to be. The grandchildren have places to play, however.

I may put the squash in the front yard, trailing amongst the rose bushes, where I've pulled out some of the older plants.
