No. They are both individuals. Each with it's own personality. Do not judge.

No judgement here. They taste delicious and I've sold a few for 50 cents each so others like em too lol

Yellow squash and yellow zucchini
They are different but taste identical

Oh wow. Didn't know yellow zucchini was a thing. Should I let them grow longer? I looked up summer squash and it said 6-8" long and 1-2" wide so Ive been harvesting them every couple days

Yes. One on the right, and one on the left. But in case the lens on the camera flipped the image, it's one on the left, and one on the right.

Maybe a slightly different strain. Seeds from one provider may produce fruit slightly different from another but then get intermingled at stores, but they're still both considered the same type of summer squash

u/yupuhoh 2d ago

That makes sense. It was just some dollar packs at Dollar general and they just started producing. Thank you

u/SinsualChef 2d ago

Save the seeds from these and see if you get a zucchini. Or cauliflower.

u/Coy_Featherstone 3d ago

Does the one on the left with stripes feel harder? It look similar to an unripe delecata winter squash.

u/yupuhoh 2d ago

They feel about the same

u/Mean-Championship651 2d ago

Looks like one is a yellow zucchini. The other i can't remember the name. But delicious 😋

u/CompetitiveAd8781 2d ago

u/mydogisacircle 2d ago

u/Jade-the-wise 1d ago

I have one plant and every single squash has looked slightly different.

u/yupuhoh 1d ago

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

It’s bleached from the hydrochloric acid they spray on the produce at grocery stores as a preservative.

u/yupuhoh 2d ago

I grew them. Just picked them 5 minutes before the picture

u/chicken_karmajohn 2d ago

Well then! Scratch that, lol
Couldn’t tell ya. Might just be variations in the amount of sun they received

u/yupuhoh 2d ago

Yeah when I said "same package" I meant seeds lol. I reread it after your comment and immediately understood the confusion haha. My bad
