There is one variety I'm not sure about the name, seeds from 2016. It COULD be:

0-77 or

0-JJ

Can anybody help me and tell me what to expect? Many thanks in advance! I shall grow it next year.
Some odd shorthand for orange Russian 117?

Whoever sent it hopefully will see your post Clara.

Perhaps, I had been thinking about this also. But then the "3" must have a 180 degree turn...

same thing happened with my brads from the swap. gnarley twisting stem with only 2 stunted leaves and no other nodes or leaf growth

My guess is that it must be 0-33, poorly written, or smudged.

No other variety in the swap has ever started with 0-.

Thank you all for your help! When there was no other variety starting with "0-", it must be 0-33. Next year, I'll know!

I am never successful at growing squash. I have a small, very shaded garden with sandy soil. My squash plants don't get enough room, enough sun, enough water.
But this year I had one squash plant that produced 3 gorgeous, large fruits (comparison : an easy squash as red kuri usually makes 1 or 2 small fruits).
Happy about its production. I haven't tasted it yet. My enthusiasm is enterily based on production :-)
I got the seeds in the swap of last year and they were labeled as “Thelma Sanders' Sweet Potato Squash". They don't look like this squash. So maybe I mixed up my seeds/plants. I also grew Gold Nugget squash from the same swap. But my squash don't look like this squash either.
To me it is not a “Thelma Sanders' Sweet Potato Squash, nor a Gold Nugget. Is it something else? Or is it simply a crossed seed? Did somebody else grew one of these varieties from the mmmm seed swap? Were they true?

That looks like a cross between the 2 varieties to me, Ann...

Can you imagine that I thought half a plant would be enough...? I did not prune it because it is said to be "bush" type. We have used it for all purposes: eating fresh, salad, sauce


Liliput is from Russia as well, I had bought the seeds in Estonia.

Det. RL, bigger red cherries, very prolific also, but not as prolific as Limbo.

Clara and everyone, how tall were your Liliput and Limbo plants? I am looking forward to growing both this year. Obviously I was mistaken that either would succeed as a hanging basket variety. I have started other plants more suitable to cascading, but would still like to grow these in a raised bed in the front of my cabin if they don't cover the windows!

Limbo is about 3 ft to 3,5 ft. , Lilliput only about 1,5 ft.

Limbo/Lilliput

Thank you. Clara. These will be perfect in a raised bed under my front window. I usually grow herbs and flowers there, but flooding due to the melting of record snowfall has left my usual grow spot needing a rest.

They were. And they were not tasty. Watery, stringy and just bleh.

South African Black Mystery:

I have 2 seedlings, one is RL and the other PL. I shall keep both, but wonder which one is the correct type.
