Identifying Mystery "Pitty Pat" Squash Variety

"Pitty Pat" sounds like patty-pan/scallop squash (flat, scalloped), not round golf-ball types. Your 10-inch yellow fruits with dime-sized green bottoms match patty-pan maturity.

Possibilities

Mislabeling at farm stand or nursery
Different variety than remembered
Patty-pans harvested small (2-3") are tender; large = tough, seedy

Harvest Advice

Pick at 2-3 inches for eating. At 10 inches, they're past prime — save seeds if heirloom, compost if hybrid. Confirm variety by leaf/fruit shape comparison to catalog photos.
