Albino zucchini squash ??
Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever had this happen. All my other zucchini squash are as green as can be but this one plant puts out only white looking squash. Any ideas, anyone ?

Thanks mommagoose and chikenista. I'm sure it's not sunscald because the squash is shaded well by the leaves. I hope I get some more from this plant because I've already put the others in the freezer for soups and such

According to this gardening forum thread they are not all that rare.

Seed might be sterile.
