So, I’m confused. I believe that I have both pattypan squash plants and butternut squash plants in my garden (yeah, I think that’s right but at this point no one can be sure).
If you don’t know, pattypans look like this:
And butternuts look like this:
And my squash looks like this:
Could they be interbreeding? Is that possible? Or could my pattypans just be weird shaped? So, they’re white like a pattypan, kind of spikey like a pattypan, and taste like a pattypan, but they’re shaped like a butternut and grew off of what I thought was a butternut plant…. Interesting….
In other news, mini red bell peppers!!
squash re-creating themselves as something new- I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have no knowledge whatsoever but I do have visions of the pollens meeting in the night.
I've seen pattypan that looked a bit like that before, so if it tastes like a pattypan I'd say it probably is.
ReplyDeleteThose mini red peppers are pretty tasty.
