RE: Zumpkin

How about wumpkins then?

I have a sugar baby watermelon vine that has creeped over and is shaking
hands with one of my Connecticut field pumpkin vines.  They look quite
cozy all intertwined .

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.
