I have successfully grown pumpkins for the last few years for my
grandchildren, using the seed saved from a shop-bought pumpkin.
I used the same batch of seed for about 3 years.

Last year I saved the seed from one of mine and have nurtured 2
plants. However I now have 4 huge fat yellowy-orange marrows!
neither pumpkin, marrow or courgette!
Is it possible that last years pumpkins and gold-rush courgettes
crossed and I now have a new hybrid?
What next?


What's next? Well how about cooking one in the way you normally cook marrow
and telling us all what it tasted like, what colour the flesh is etc.
If it's any good perhaps you do indeed have something the seed companies
might be interested in.
Problem being, what has fertilised the flowers this year, and what will this
years seeds produce?
That will be fun for next year and the next........
