spaghetti squash

13 years ago

I have several spaghetti squash plants some I started from seed and some I bought in a 4 pack. Some of the ones formed look like the pic. Are these spaghetti squash or did I get mislabeled seed or was there possibly a cross pollination issue with the seeds parents?

Is it a different variety. My other plants fruit start out yellow and don't have stripes. Do I have to wait until it turns completely yellow until I eat?

They are winter type squash. The standard rule rule is wait until the skin gets too hard to cut with a finger nail. As with any winter squash they get less watery when allowed to cure for a short time before eating.
