Anybody know if other squash-type fruits turn colors like pumpkins?
I've never heard of zuccini turning orange - but since I don't know
anyone who grows them and leaves them to get this big; I might not have
heard of it. Anyone familiar with this?

Dian,
Some varieties of zucchini will turn orange. Zucchini will not
interbreed with Atlantic Giants, but I can't remember if you are growing
AGs or some other pumpkin variety. There are about four cucurbits that
will interbreed with AGs, but zucchini aren't one of them.
