Good lord, I'm sick to death of being overrun with that squash. Finally convinced my SO of the same.

Started my seedlings way earlier this year. Maybe ridiculously early, but we shall see.

Wish I could get my SO to give up on melons. We can never tell when they're ripe, inevitably pick them too early, and they take up sooooooo much space that could be used for other plants.

Transplanting fruit trees to reasonable distances from each other, transplanting raspberries to where won't get a harsh western wind, transplanting strawberries everywhere since they're spilling over their current bed. They may end up replacing my lawn, which would be just fine with me.
