Thomas' garden summer 2024

Some genetic diversity in the moschata patch, all coming from the selection of “the best of the best” of last year: all offsprings from long storage and excellent tasting squash, with usual butternut colored flesh to green and brown flesh!!! :partying_face:

It’s such a joy looking at those :blush:

Some of those look like they definetely have mixta heritage based on colouring. Especially the one in picture 13 seems like first generation of mixta skin that popped up for me, which was F2. After that they have usually been more dark green and less white like the one in picture 3 and some others. I also have many different shapes and colours, although not as much as there aren’t many that had the time this year. One is almost patty pan shaped with mixta skin. It’s also earliest of the ones with “normal” flowering late in the plant and with current forecast will definetely make seeds. If the forecast remains or gets better, there is a change that I’ll get more seeds than what I was hoping for just a couple of weeks ago. No more in the early flowering though, but I did try to pollinate all fruits with some of the early flowering.
