Our weather has been similar here, but with much more humidity and rain. The humidity gets very bad. I thought that fruit was some kind of squash when I saw it, but I had no idea what kind.

Hahahaha... I just want to guess watermelon kellee.
In Malaysia we have some vegetable name patola, this look like it.

If you plant too close some species do cross over. I thought pumpkin because the commercial fields have similar fruits.We thought we had found watermelons once until we got closer.

Think i'll have a dabble with giant pumpkins next year, pumpkin pie, on the house :D lol. Used to love carving the faces out of them.

So does it look like it shows on the seed packet? We have an All Green Bush courgette - as you can guess it should be green - but ours is stripy. Maybe quality control on seed packet filling isn't what it should be!

2010-07-29T09:31:44.865+01:00

Don't quote me on this, but being in the vicinity of the plants which you describe, I do not think it can influence this years growth, it may well as it grows become more like the pumpkins we know. If they are in the same family of some kind, then the seeds may well come up trumps next year so hold onto some. I am sure there is a reader out there who could explain things better.

Pumpkin? that small? Cucumber is closer :P

a pumpkin, well what do you know. I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years.

Watermelon?

2010-07-28T10:16:23.852+01:00

It definitely has all the characteristics of one of the cucurbit family which leaves cucmbers, melons and gourds. So next guess is a cucumber!

Uugh... Cucumber?

2010-07-28T06:31:44.291+01:00

At this stage it does look like a zucchini/courgette, but as it grows bigger I wonder will it develop into - a loofah? the ones I've seen are a little different shape. What a mystery hah?

2010-07-27T22:51:57.979+01:00

First thing I thought was a marrow or a corgette. Guess you'll have us guessing until we are blue in the face :D

Did the seed arrive on the back of a meteorite from out of space and crash land onto the fertile soils of your plot? :D

Courgette, they call it here. Looks good inside.

2010-07-27T21:55:13.942+01:00

Courgette, they call it here.

2010-07-27T19:42:46.863+01:00

ok my other thought yesterday was a butternut squash. Other than those two guesses I have no clue.

Zucchini??

Missed the picture yesterday, as don't get around to visiting often.

2010-07-27T10:49:06.767+01:00

I am with the rest on this either a large fat courgette or a small fat marrow. Scientifically a fruit but tends to be called a vegetable- one confused edible.

2010-07-27T09:36:36.147+01:00

Is that Winter Melon? Can figured out the size from the picture.

Thank you for your kind words and support Tanya. They really means a lot to me.

It all works out ok though...had some disasters and some good crops....I don't go in much for planning...I just grow the seedlings and plant as ready.....

2010-07-27T06:16:36.562+01:00

Yep, looks like a stunted courgette to me. A friend's daughter planted a 'goth' garden that those peas would fit right into.

Gotta be a baby marrow. We call them courgettes.
