| I got a striped acorn squash from my CSA share last week that I believe might be the "Jester" from Johnny's Seeds. (http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-8714-jester-f1.aspx) If not that exact one it is something very similar. If I were to save seeds for this, would I get something similar if I grew it next year? I see that it's an F1, so it would probably not be identical, but would it be some type of acorn winter squash at least? |

| Maybe depending on what other types of C. pepo may have been grown within a bee radius of the Jester. All the summer squash and some pumpkins with cross with acorns. |

| You may get a plant that looks great but produces a squash that's not great eating. You can buy acorn squash seed for less than $2 - why fool around? |
