Took a gamble and started seeds end of Feb. Put them in ground around March 15th. Got nipped a little by by light frost twice in mid April but they were so big they recovered easily. We were frost free from about Feb. 15th to Apr. 15th. I'm on the border or zone 7 and 8 in Charlotte, NC. I have ripe summer squash, tomatoes, pumpkins (starting to turn), and cucumbers too. Very unusual... I had backup seeds and expected to use them but never had to.

If it is a vining type, are the vines still putting on growth. Bush types will sometimes set a second crop (SVB permitting) but they are not as long bearing as vine types.

Found the culprit - shortly after the last post the plant started wilting a little bit. Pulled it out today and found a couple large squash vine borers. The stress was probably enough to keep it for putting out new flowers.

They got my pumpkin, all my spaghetti squash and all my summer squash too. Hoping I can save the pumpkin after taking off 3 vines (2 left) and cutting open the base, removing the SVB and burying. Very disappointed.
