Dian,
I'm not familiar with Zucchini turning but I had a pumpkin cross with a
zucchini, saved seed, and had a 25# orangish-green zuchinni shaped pumpkin
with other zuch characteristics. Very interesting.

been revealed, including two which are bright orange they look like mutant
pumpkins, but this is one generation too soon for that to be a result of
crossing (the seeds might be crossed - depends on how the bees went, and
I'll find that out next year).

who grows them and leaves them to get this big; I might not have heard of
it. Anyone familiar with this?
