How big are they ? My Calabasas gets to be around 4-5in across if I let them go for awhile. Jann Angelz79 Victoria Canada August 07, 2009 12:42 AM Post #6917438 They are only about 5-6 inches round and turned from green to yellow. The texture is like a coconut, and they are very tasty. I thought they might be the lemon cucumber I planted or the baby round zucchinis, but the texture isn't either of those. It's been consistently producing these little squash so I didn't think it cross pollinated.

Dunno what they are, but if it were me, I'd save some seed and hope to get duplicates next year :) Angelz79 Victoria Canada August 08, 2009 09:06 PM Post #6924369 Correction, they are the size of softballs.
