I'm confused about whats happening with the spaghetti squash I'm growing it went from yellow to looking more like a watermelon see photos the younger fruit is yellow as this one was but it started to turn green with stripes the last few weeks. Is this normal or did it cross pollinate with something?
First time growing spaghetti squash it's supposed to turn yellow not green right?

It might be good, might be gross. Honestly only way to tell is try cooking one.
No its all a fresh planting the garden wasn't used for several years. It's on my stepmothers ranch she hasn't used it properly 10+ years, all seeds were from packs
It might be really good, it's definitely worth trying. You might need to bake it a little more or less depending on the inside texture so keep that in mind. And it might not string with a fork the way spaghetti squash is suppose to. But it still might be really good. I've had crossed happen and always test them like I say frying in a slice with butter, salt and pepper just to get an idea of flavor and texture before dedicating it to a meal. But often times it's good, with some adjustments to the recipe.
I am looking forward to hearing the outcome!
What do you make with it? I love zucchini bread and all that good stuff but my favorite is sliced lengthways into zucchini sticks, battered and deep fried. Not healthy but ohhhh so good!!! Lol
Mostly breads and cakes I'm looking at other recipes I might try ? The zucchini has been really bountiful for me. The corn was my first failure? I don't know what happened to them it's the first time it's happened to me. The stalks only grew to 2' tasseled 3 weeks ago all the pollen is gone now they are silking? Its probably the soil I'm temporarily in Michigan was in Pennsylvania the ground is so different here. It's a big ranch with sandy soil about 20 miles from lake Michigan sorry for the rant I was just thinking of.allthe corn I'm not going to enjoy

No worries about the rant, that's what the forum is for. I don't know much about corn, I don't grow it because the raccoons always get to it before I do. But @Meadowlark is extremely well knowledgeable and will offer some advice on corn
