Well, I told you last year that I crossed pollen from an Acorn squash with a bloom from the Padana squash. Here is the results. It's a bit smaller then the Padana, which is what I wanted. Padana was a bit too large for just me. It's kind of two tone green, but has a yellow spot where it laid on the ground. I'm not sure if it will mature to having the green and orange stripes like the Padana after its stored a while. It has the shape of the Padana, not the shape of the Acorn. I'm going to bake it tonight and see how it tastes. I'll update this tread after I sample it.
