Acorn Squash

Question

Does acorn squash start out white? I have squash plants coming up from seeds discarded last year and I am not sure about the ones that are white now.

Answer 1

There are white varieties of acorn squash available. If your squash were not white last year, it was possible that you had a hybrid variety that lost some of its hybrid characteristics when it went to seed. It will probably still be good to eat but will simply look different from its parent.
