Thanks looks something like a Calabasas squash (Mexican zuchinni) ....that was maybe crossed with a yellow squash. ???

How big are they ? My Calabasas gets to be around 4-5in across if I let them go for awhile.

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.

Cute little things! Dunno what they are, but if it were me, I'd save some seed and hope to get duplicates next year :)
