i planted bush scallop squash but...
bush scallop did not grow, the plant grew, fruit grew, but it is not white bush scallop! i think it's an acorn squash which is disappointing because i was wanting summer squash in this spot not winter. has anyone ever heard of seeds getting mixed up? i bought these from the store they were ferry morse. i only own two types of squash seeds so i really don't know how this got mixed up, i've never bought acorn squash

I had a pickling cucumber that wasn't one time. For all the world the cukes seemed like straight 8s. That was a Burpee seed pack. I don't know if it was simply wrong packaging or if it may have been a hybrid.
It sure messed up my pickle making plans....

That's happened to me. I've planted a rows of butter lettuce but there would be a few heads of leaf lettuce mixed in. Do you know if your whole seed packet is that way or did you just grow one plant?

na these are not even close to a scallop, all the bush scallop i've grown have started off with that ufo disc shape as soon as the blooms fatten up, these are acorn shaped and a dark dark hunter green with light green mixed in. i was really looking forward to getting to eat some this year last years got eaten up with the pickle worms

I purchased seeds that were supposed to be chives but appear to be basil. And in another instance yellow golden wax beans have turned out to be a pole bean of a yet to be determined variety. Good help is hard to get.
