Because of the current interest in vertical growing of vine crops (probably sparked by "Square Foot Gardening"), I researched my library looking for summer squash varieties which were suitable for this type of culture. In the May, 1982 "Organic Gardening", an article on growing summer squash mentions a variety TATUME which is reputed to vine (actually all curcabits vine, but bush varieties have such a short internode spacing, and most do not produce tendrils so they can't be grown on a fence or trellis). TATUME is available (according to the article) from: Walter Baxter Seed Company PO Box 8175 Weslaco, TX 78596 Disclaimer: I have no relationship to this or any other seed company. I have not ordered from this company and I have never grown TATUME.
