They do well in practically all parts of the United States where the soil is fertile and moisture sufficient. Although sensitive to frost, squashes are more hardy then melons and cucumbers. In the warmest parts of the South they may be grown in winter. The use of well-rotted composted material thoroughly mixed with the soil is recommended.
There are two classes of squash varieties, summer and winter. All the summer squashes and the marrows must be used while young and tender, when the rind can be easily penetrated by the thumbnail. The winter squashes have hard rinds and are well adapted for storage.
Summer varieties, should be gathered before the seeds ripen or the rinds harden, but the winter sorts will not keep unless well matured. They should be taken in before hard frosts and stored in a dry, moderately warm place, such as on shelves in a basement with a furnace. Under favorable conditions some varieties may be kept until midwinter.

It is a bit early in the growing season for squash - they are usually a late summer / fall harvest. They will start to grow rapidly in a few weeks - I think July/August is when the various gords really kick it into gear.
Cucumbers, zuccini and the like start a bit sooner.
Of course, depending on where you live geographically, you can adjust what I've said up or down by two weeks (generally speaking).
