I agree with Bill plant early and late. I also use the mentallity that I am going to lose some to the bugs, so I just plant more than I need. Also, plant as far away from where you planted the previous year. I move my patches of squash around alot. As far as to get an early crop, I planted parthenocarpic zucchini in my high tunnel. I had it for a month before anyone else had summer squash. I probably could have had it earlier, but I didn't want to push the planting window this spring. It produce wonderfully. I had good early sales at a higher price before the market was flooded with zucchini. By the time the market was flooded, I had different/unique varieties that were growing outside that I was able to get a higher price for. I will do this again next year too. I was going to plant a fall crop and cover it with row cover, but I planted spinach instead. I was happy with the spinach. One person can only eat so many zucchini.
