Re: Yellow summer squash and zucchini
I see my mother in the mirror more and more everyday. In my two younger sisters and older brother as well. Not a bad thing, as my mother is a beautiful woman and looks 20 years younger than she is (I can only hope I look that good at her age) buuuut, I find it super creepy because up until the age of 40, none of us looked anything like her or even much like each other...and as the years have passed since 40, the change seems to be accelerating exponentially. Five or ten years from now, if the five of us die together, we might have to be identified through dental records 
@Jaye , summer squash and zucchini are the same thing essentially, and will freely interbreed, but you can't tell if they've done so from the 1st year fruit. The seeds from the first year fruit will have the genetic combination, but the fruit itself will look like it's supposed to. So if you planted a yellow and a green variety of zucchini together this year, you would still get yellow squash on one plant and green on the other. However, if you save seeds from either, you're spinning a roulette wheel for what comes out of them.
Last year I planted a yellow squash next to a green one. I tried to avoid saving seeds from either, but clearly failed, as one of my zucchini plants is putting out these:
