Friends of mine ? gave me some of their extra squash plants. 4 plants. I was told they should be High Carotene Zuchinni and Spaghetti squash. I think they are more like High Carotene Zuchetti or Spaginni. I may have as many as 20 fruits.
Here are some pictures
This one looks to have the shape of Spaghetti but the color of Zuchinni
She told me that this looks right for High Carotene Zuchinni. They apparently turn orange when mature
They all may be duck food???

Omigosh, zucchini here get to 30 inches long and 4 to 6 inches diameter. Pick em small for the tender frying kind. Pick em large for the zucchini milk for baking. Hey, even if they are crosses of some sort, they will be squash. Summer type squash should be picked when small for the best eating qualities. Some of the best tasting squash I have had were hybrids. My advice: Enjoy! Looks like you are going to be hard pressed to keep up with it.

Oh, you have never heard of zucchini milk?
You take the large zucchini and peel it and take out the seeds, then cube it and put it in the blender and liquify it into a milk. The zucchini milk is used for the liquid in all sorts of baking. Just substitute it for milk or water in your recipes.

High Carotene Cucumber

Yes, I realize summer squash should be eaten young, but this High Carotene Zucchini I am told, is a storage squash. Vegetable Spaghetti also.
I've Googled High Carotene Zucchini and can't find it. They keep tell me it's not made up words and they bought the original seed.
Zucchini milk sounds interesting. Have you tried it with something as simple as baking powder biscuits?

First I've heard of it too. Thanks for the idea!
