Hi Salina and CC,

I have grown 1 of my tiny squash ( pomme d'or) in a container (45 cm diameter) it does produce some 7 squashes ( I pinched out a lot of them). But... the same plant that is grown in ground produce some 3 times more. So it is possible ( but has to go for mini fruit type and if possible go for compact plant) and frequent extra liquid feed (per 2 weeks, manured water) and extra manure/ fertilizer.
I used compost 60% compost soil and 40%( cow) manure in the pot and occasionally they get high potassium fertilizer ( when the flowers starts to bloom).
And start the seedlings early indoor(4 to 6 weeks before the last frost) to make sure they have enough time to ripened their fruit ( the best choice will be choosing the early maturing type).

Good luck,

Momol
