Summer Squash
Summer Squashes are harvested and eaten before they mature. They have very thin skins and, generally, edible seeds.

Summer Squashes will cross-breed with acorn squash, some pumpkins including jack-o-lantern pumpkins, as well as with each other, of course. Though you may not see the results of the cross-pollination that occurred in the current year's crop, it would show up in the seeds from the crop if they were planted this year.

Summer Squashes will not cross-breed with cucumbers, or melons.

The most well-known example of Summer Squash is zucchini.

Also called: Cucurbita pepo (Scientific Name) Courge d'été (French) Sommerkürbissen (German) Calabacita (Spanish)
