zucchini

[mener6896]

I purchased "bush baby" zucchini seeds from Johnny's, the plants are doing great; however, my zucchini have the oddest shape. They resemble a green butternut squash in shape, but they have the green and white striping of the bush baby. Could something I am doing be causing the weird shape?

I wondered if I picked them too late?

I have no idea, but I am having the same issue with my cantaloupe.

What about cross pollination? One year I grow two types of hot peppers next to each other (serrano and anheim) and all the peppers look funny definately a cross between the two. I have read on here that it should not affect the fruit but the children. Hope this helps
