They were from seeds saved year after year, some type of crook neck squash originally.
We especially like slabs broiled with mixture of sour cream and grated hot pepper cheese on top.
Hope yours make it this year.  I've always seeded directly into the garden but might try sowing indoors this time.
Except...where to put them?  I'm overrun with tomatoes with buds! should have listened to TeeGee :'(
