What is this squash

11 years ago

I had a few squash plants come up in the compost, mostly zuchinni and acorn as those are the two kinds that I normally grow. I have two plants that have a white flattish squash growing, have never seen one like them. Anyone have any ideas on what they are?

There's no telling what it is. The parent plants may have been hybrids or your zukes and acorns might have crossed, not to mention other species in the neighborhood. It is what it is, you'll likely never know more than that.

Not sure, but let us know what it tastes like! Are you on the Island, or mainland?
