I've had way better luck with cukes and watermelons than squash. And I sure gave it the ol' college try because eating beautiful, perfectly sized, yet extremely nasty tasting green squash is what prompted my whole gardening adventure a few years back.

So even though the three sisters have proven their singing chops, I just need one of them for this gig.

Great read on the link.
I haven't had any luck growing any green varieties of squash but butternut grows like a weed here. On the off chance you haven't tried it, I highly recommend trialling it.
