A Kuri/Hokkaido, squash perhaps? Homegrown squash is usually delicious, I love it. They usually recommend about 5ft between plants, bit less if you grow them up a trellis (which is my plan this year). Slugs love them, though.
Tonts-

I did try this once but these trailing cucurbits have a natural propensity to not fight gravity and would much rather roam where ever they like .
I had to keep training and tying them up as they grew and then you have the weight of the fruit to support later on.
Heres some low maintenance squash ...

Actually it’s already a crown prince crossed with some sort of Japanese squash.
It was really delicious and I’ve just cleared a big bed ready for veg so am hoping to grow some more.
I’m going to give it a shot and have a few plants in the same area.
