     There are several varieties of summer squash advertised as being suitable for container use. I only know of a few, but there may be more.
     Buckingham Patio (zucchini)
     Papaya Pear (zucchini)
     Spacemiser (zucchini)
     Balmoral Patio (Scallop)
I have not yet tried any of these, but doggone it, now you've aroused my curiosity!

I didn't have any of those varieties and instead planted the types that I would have planted in ground. I only tried them on containers one year. The following year I planted in ground and I will stick with in ground from now on. I think there are better choices for containers. At least that is the way it worked out for me. Better to put a pepper plant or eggplant in the container and put the summer squashes in the ground.
