I planted more seed this year, but only got one.
Honey Nut butternut squash
I got some at a farmers' market. They're darker in color than typical butternuts, same shape, but a pound or less each. I've been meaning to grow these.
Mouse Melon
Not a true cucumber, and something of a novelty, but fun to grow. They're less than an inch long.

I've been meaning to grow the Honey Nut butternut squash too. It's just me and the dh so we have a hard time getting through a whole big squash!
Mouse melons are also known as Mexican Sour Gerkins. They make adorable little whole pickles.
Gold Nugget is a small squash that tastes like pumpkin. Easy to grow.
I'm also growing some Jack Be Little mini pumpkins this year. You can scoop them out and stuff them for an individual sized meal.
