You should see the cukes crossed with watermelons.
Can you say Body Snatchers.

It's normal for them to turn yellow. Those ain't no good for nuthin but hog feed. When we grew pickles, it was an every other day job. The pickle house culled out the big ones, and you didn't get paid for those. Moral of the story-- you need to pick them every day so they don't get so big!

that's what we've been doing the past couple months Darrell is canning pickles. we'll try canning the yeller ones, dunno if they'll be the same or not. the one cucumber plant is next to a tomato plant, the tomatos haven't done anything weird yet tho. taters are about 10-15 ft away from the cucumber plant.

Cross pollination only takes place in members of the same family. Cukes, squash and melons are all cucurbit family...

Kind of what I was thinking. Be more fun to ask if he is trying to become a science fiction superhero, and the experiments are escaping the lab. Cause besides weird veggies he is worrying of monster mosquitoes.
