Red Kuri grew and produced very well for me and stored simply forever. It is both highly ornamental and tasty. This was back in the day before squash vine borers discovered we had moved to Oklahoma and planted C. maxima squash. After they found us, I stopped growing it because they got it every year.

Blue Hubbard 'Baby Blue' is a pretty quick-maturing hubbard and I grew it for two years, I think, but gave it up because the pests adore it. The cucumber beetles like it so much that it often is grown as a 'trap crop' on organic farms to draw the cucumber beetles away from the other crops. So, if you plant it, be prepared to do battle with those cucumber beetles or it won't have a chance.

I haven't grown 'Autumn Glow' but if I was going to plant one of the three you listed now, I'd plant it because it is a butternut and they tend to tolerate the usual squash pests better than most others.

When it comes to winter squash, I only grow C. moschata types with any consistency any more because, while they are not immune to pests, they seem to outlast them and survive and produce in spite of them. Everything else in the squash family gets demolished by pests about 9 years out of 10. Having said that, I haven't lost a single squash plant of any type to SVBs or squash bugs this year so it must be the 1 year in 10 the squash pests didn't visit us.....yet.

I think I'm about to get hammered by squash bugs. I found one leaf that was harboring about 6 different clusters of eggs. And many others. The plants are too big and the vines of other plants are too overgrown to really get in there and hunt for them. All the bugs I saw tonight were gray young ones, so I am hoping to get in and make quick work of squishing them before they get romantic.
Today I harvested one striped zuc, one pattypan, and one tatume. There are a lot that are just about ready to harvest, I pray the plants survive the beasts that long.
I am forever growing the moschata varieties. Any other varieties will be purely for curiosity.

Jammie,

I love the moschatas because of their toughness. (By that, I mean the plants are strong survivors, not that the moschata squash have a tough texture!) They often, though not always, outlast the pests even though they'll sometimes show some damage. In fact, I've often had the plants survive squash bug attacks although, of course, I try to find and destroy all the squash bugs and eggs too.

I'm sorry to hear squash bugs have shown up there. I have so enjoyed not having to battle them so far this year, even though I realize they could show up on any given day.
