The surprise Acorn Squash mutant...
Last year’s Acorn and Zucchini squash beds were good time buddies; from a completely ordinary Acorn Squash, delicious by the way, the seeds…oh the seeds…gave us some very unusual fruits.
Started out looking like normal zucchini or acorns the the combo took over some but not others.
The ones that looked like zucchini we ate, I let the others alone to see what would happen. Today cleaning up the beds I decided to cut open one of the “too small to be done” and got surprised.
Maybe…maybe if let alone to mature it may be edible. The flesh is a little more yellow than the picture represents.
So I’m leaving the huge ones alone till whenever they look done, probably the end of the month.
Hand shovel there for scale.
We will see.

I thought it said mute acorn squash. 
2naSalit and I have been discussing this. She warned me about cross pollination. She had acorn zucchini and spaghetti squashes getting together.
That's exactly what I tried to describe during our interchange about them cross pollinating. The same variety of morphs developed in our patch a few years back. Some were edible, others not. We had a couple weird spaghetti squash mutants too, I did not open those myself. The acorn-ish one that I did try to eat was rather pithy. The more zucchini-like were edible, the small ones.
Next round of actual gardening, I will keep that in mind. In fact, the organics store has a bin of squash, I might just get a couple so I can try it.
Thanks!
