Butternut squash is an amazing size this year - but a fair few of the pumpkins have managed to cross breed again

Might have to have a nibble when I harvest, see if it's bitter....
AFAIK the fruit shouldn't be different - I'm just bemused that my sweet dumpling are a variety of shapes, colours and sizes, and I was clutching at straws!
I have had several rants this year about what was shown on the packet not being what actually grew.I wonder if pandemic staff shortages meant that the seed producers could not maintain their usual standards. (Purely speculation on my part).
