Franken-squash? We asked our answer clinic what they thought was going on, and this is what they said!

Cross pollination only occurs between plants of the same species. The article below is helpful in identifying species in the same family with different kinds of squash. For example, cross-pollination can be seen in the squashes and pumpkins. Summer squash, pumpkins, gourds, and some types of winter squash belong to the same plant species, Cucurbita pepo. All varieties within this species may cross with one another. Thus, an acorn squash will cross-pollinate with a zucchini or a miniature gourd. However, muskmelon (Cucumis melo) and cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) belong to different species and will not cross with each other. The squash in your picture looks like it is probably a cross pollinated plant.

A wonderful day at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge’s BirdFest!

WSU Clark County Master Gardeners Debbie Brenner, Pam Moody, and Anne Bulger were on hand today sharing information about plants, pollinators, and creating healthy habitats. We had some great conversations with visitors of all ages—and it looks like we may have recruited our youngest Master Gardener yet!

BOOM! We are at $6,134 before 9 a.m.

EVERY gift helps. WSU Clark County Master Gardeners are welcoming the new class in a few weeks. The program is designing new volunteer opportunities for 2027 and looking at ways to create more experiences at Heritage Farm.

As Clark County Parks and Recreation/Vancouver Clark City adds trails and more at that site, Master Gardeners will be creating more ways for home gardeners to learn tested approaches for sustainable cultivation and sound environmental stewardship.
