If you go here, you will see them grow straight down. Think I will get mine here at Bountiful Gardens. I so do want squash and so didn’t get any as the borers killed mine. I hate this learning curve to know how to grow food plants. I’m so glad you found this squash. Eat it any time of the year from spring through winter. When it ages, it becomes like a Butternut winter squash.

This one is C. maxima, and has the richer flavor and better keeping ability of that species. Buon appetito!
