You may remember I grew all the Atlantic Giants for plotholders to grow on for the competition this year?  Well, two people have ended up with these -

I am 100% certain there wasn't a mixup of seeds on my part.  I wonder if they will continue to grow and end up anything like AGs?

Looks like it played away from home.  Seems to be very shiny.

Yes, it is very shiny.  I hope it keeps growing. Wink

Oh..I've been having lots of trouble with 'wrong' seeds this year...and from various seed companies Roll Eyes
I've been growing lovely queensland blue squashes.. Roll Eyes..yeah..and one wasn't...and I used some male flowers from that mystery plant to pollinate another to get some seed Angry..so that exercise was waste of time... Roll Eyes
I also grew some 'atlantic giants' for pumpkin competition..for other people Roll Eyes..not much competition for some as those turn out to be summer squashes Grin..I'm so loved person at the moment...serious competition ruined Roll Eyes
Squash...do you remember who's seeds those AG's were? I've already thrown packet away and cannot be sure anymore...I wonder if we are victims of the same 'fraud'..

It's possible that they came from the squash swap....though I can't think of any summer squash that have a seed like an AG..... those things are huge.... your spare QB's (if you were the person that put them in) went to plot51a and saddad, you might want to check with them.....
