You are talking about butternut pumpkins aren't you. Best to ask in the pumpkin section not the squash. Go to pumpkin enter your climate zone and then check the planting guide.

My suggestion is plant them in separate areas, all three that is. I have just harvested a block of corn, there is no way I could have planted climbing beans amongst them. You would have to thin out the corn planting therefore effecting the pollination ability of the corn. Do you want small thin cobs of corn. I feel you would end up with a poor crop of each vegetable. Corn needs fertilising, beans don't need much, conflict.

I am growing squash at the moment, but flowers grow then bud ( squash) grow then fall off when really tiny. First year this has happened. Grew plenty last year. Is it the extra heat we are having here in QLD? Is it because they are now growing on trellis? Last year just left on the garden bed similar to pumpkin.

Hi, The unpollinated will fall off when small. Maybe increase your flower plants around them to encourage bees or do a little pollinating yourself with a cotton bud. Hope this helps

I suggest you read as much as you can. That will give you clues when to plant and harvest.
