The success of container-grown squash will depend in part on what variety of squash you have. It is best to grow bush varieties, because their smaller size better fit the confined conditions; the large sprawling types would be better grown directly in a garden. As to the pot size for bush types, that also depends, but as a guideline, it shouldn’t be less than 12 inches wide by 12 inches deep. Make sure that it has drainage holes at the bottom.
