Re: Zumpkin

Hello Darren,
 
Are you saying these zucchini are 4 to 5 feet long?  Just how big are these
things?  To answer your question, no, its not possible to cross a zucchini
with an atlantic giant pumpkin.
 
Good luck with the rest of the season,
Kevin Snyder

We had a vine come up on its own in our compost pile this year, so I
transplanted it into the garden.  It's producing zucchinis that are about
4-5 times larger than any you could find at the store.  It still tastes like
a zucchini.  Is it possible that my AG plant pollinated my zucchini plant
last year, and has anyone else ever seen this?

As far as my AG goes, I lost my only plant to a storm this June, so I
planted a new seed on June 9.  I just pollinated a week ago.  At least I'll
have something big for Halloween.
