i have a surprise in the squash dept.

my saved seeds of a yellow crook neck from 2010 evidently crossed with a couple other squash. it wasn't unexpected since i took no special measures to prevent cross pollination. what i have growing out of two hills, huge plants are the expected yellow crook neck, and also a light yellowish green zucchini type squash, and a short compact
yellowish green bumpy squash that makes me think it is crossed with a golden scallop squash going by shape. i picked a small one, and ate it right there. it tasted fine.
i may save seeds from the last type just to see what else develops it looks like it may be
fairly productive. of course further cross pollination may occur. i may have to think this one out a bit before proceeding.
