After many tries I still don't know how to insert photos. Let's try again. See the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Squash

How's this? You need to copy from the box labeled "HTML..." I believe it's the third one down. Also, don't put that link in the "Optional Link URL" box in Garden Web. Rather paste it right into the Message box.

I don't know what they are. They look like some kind of a zuchinni cross.

Thanks George. Not quite sure what you mean by the HTML box. Are you referring to the address bar at the top of the screen with the photo? You did jog my memory. The seed are not from the ones my friend gave me, rather they are seed I saved from last year's acorn squash. They are also planted next to zuchinni this year, so you could be correct that they are a cross.
Thanks,
John A

Squash hybridize freely. If you want to save seeds, you have to pollinate the blossoms manually.

We finally got around to eating these squash. The gold one was over-ripe and mushy, much like a zuchinni. The green one did have the texture and taste of an acorn.
