Then that's the fault of the seed supplier I'm afraid.

I always cross pollinate my squash family plants, with no problem.

The possibility of cross-pollination deters many beginning gardeners from planting squash and pumpkins. They fear that by planting different types of squash near each other, they'll end up with mutant vegetables that look like something from another planet.

The truth be told, you only need to worry about cross-pollination of squash if you save seeds to plant the next year.

Interesting - and is what I always thought until the supposed butternut squash I grew last year, and some funny looking squash that a plot neighbour grew. I guess we'll see what happens this year, I've sown a mix of the leftover seed I bought last year, and seed newly purchased.

Real Seads might be getting an email complaint!

Well it's in the hands of the bee's now the flower opened today and I didn't have anything to pollinate it with

so hopefully some helpful bee's visited the courgettes that are flowering a couple of plots over but I doubt it, oh well onto the next one
