If you don't have a garden space you could still raise them on your pattio. Take a tad bit more work but its doable. Plant the seeds in a good sized pot and as it grows up, tie the plant to a trellis that you have (some how) behind the pot. When you get little squashes keep a very close eye on them. When they start getting some weight to them, use cloth and tie them up in a hammock style. The idea is to keep the weight off the vine and stil give them room in the "hammock to grow. I grow all my vining veggies and fruits this way, as I don't have a lot of garden space and just grow them up alongside a cattle panel. I'm out there every day so I notice when they need to be hung up in the "hammoc".
We have them often around here (Iowa) seasons about over for most veggies, but the Squash will still be coming in for a while.
