The surprise Acorn Squash mutant... [View all]

[MiHale]

Last year’s Acorn and Zucchini squash beds were good time buddies; from a completely ordinary Acorn Squash, delicious by the way, the seeds…oh the seeds…gave us some very unusual fruits.
Started out looking like normal zucchini or acorns the the combo took over some but not others.

The ones that looked like zucchini we ate, I let the others alone to see what would happen. Today cleaning up the beds I decided to cut open one of the “too small to be done” and got surprised.
Maybe…maybe if let alone to mature it may be edible. The flesh is a little more yellow than the picture represents.




So I’m leaving the huge ones alone till whenever they look done, probably the end of the month.
Hand shovel there for scale.





We will see.
