Since I don't want pumpkins, should I snip it to allow the real squashes to grow?jal_ut wrote:On the left, spaghetti sq.
On the right, an immature pumpkin.
And when you say pumpkin, like something that will turn orange and I can carve in the fall??
If you were talking about my picture, wouldn't the pumpkin be the one on the left and the spaghetti the one on the right?
If I remember right the so called pumpkin did not get orange but a off white and was not a spegetti squash when I opened it! At that time I thought I made a mistake labeling the seed since I was a saved seed I had from a spegetti squash the year before! I did have alot of zucks in the area so they may have crossed polinated!

Looking up the skirts of my spaghetti squash plants today I noticed that one was putting out speckled green fruit while the rest of the plants had the expected light green fruits. The seed were saved from one grocerystore spaghetti squash, so I guess that even in a big farm field of spaghetti squash there will be crossing if other varieties are grown nearby.
