I planted them in a row, next to each other, thinking I would get a row of
acorn squash. Last year my acorn squash were small vining plants. These are
not small vining plants! There are about a half dozen plants all crowded
together.

Scallop/acorn cross
This is the best one so far. The size and color is right, but it has the
ribbing that most of the acorn crosses have, and it's pointed on the end.
The scallop squash I grew last year had some natural ribbing, but nowhere
near as pronounced as this, and they were not pointed on the end.

Crookneck/acorn cross
This one is not quite as dramatic, but you can see the green tint, and
slight ribbing. The second pic is a normal squash.

zuchinni/acorn cross
Again, you can see the ribbing from the acorn influence, plus it is short
and blunt, not long and skinny like zuchinnis are.

These are new, they look like acorn squash, but the color is off. I'll watch
them to see how they develop.

Pumpkin/acorn cross? These fines are already 12 feet long and growing like
crazy. The fruit is round, just like my pumpkins. No sign of ribbing yet.

What is noteworthy of these, is that the seeds for *all* of these came out
of an ordinary looking acorn squash. Who would have thought that all of this
would come out of a normal acorn squash? I wish now I would have planted 30
of these, just to see what kind of variety I would get. The plants are large
and quite vigorous. I think that I will save some of the fruit and plant
them next year to see what I get. The variety is a surprise, but so far they
are very edible.
