RE: Zumpkin

Zucchinis are member of the pepo family while Ag's are of the maxima family so
as already noted they will not cross although zucchinis will cross with
pumpkins of the pepo family like standard field pumpkins.

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.
