These are seedlings from one of the rogue squash hybrids that showed up in our yard last year. They were a blend of butternut and black futsu, and Bill wasn’t sure if the seeds would be viable.
They are! So we’ll be planting some this year, along with more butternut and perhaps a new winter squash variety.
I love this planning time of year.
There's nothing quite like seeing seeds sprout! :)

Yay! I love finding new plants! When I lived in Utah, I had a tomato plant growing out of my compost pile that grew the tastiest tomatoes ever. Much yummier than either of its parents. Sadly, I was growing so many kinds at the time that I never figured out how to reproduce that cross!
