Below are pictures of the parent plants, I'll post some pictures of the fruits as both varieties get more. These are both used as summer squash. The Tatume are more vining habit with oblong light green striped fruits, we pick them young for eating. The Lemon squash grow more of a single tall vine that needs tying up, but still has tendrils, I'd all it semi-bush or semi-vining. You can see the flowers taped up on both plants and I'll do my first attempt at the cross tomorrow. I often manually pollinate my squash to increase yields.
