My fiancee and I closed on our first house at the end of May. One of the things we were most excited about was the prospect of our first vegetable garden. The previous owner had a garden which I reclaimed and made our own. I rototilled the entire thing except one of the corners where (what I thought might have been) a pumpkin or other type of squash had sprouted from something that must have rotted in the garden last year .
Fast forward to now, the plant now has fruit and I still have no idea what it is. My best guess is some sort of ornamental gourd, but does anyone have any other ideas? Whatever it is, it is heavily warted.
Mystery Squash/Gourd
I love the color, I have no idea what it is thought sorry. Maybe once it gets a little bigger?
Definitely a squash. Probably a cross breed. May be a quite usable winter squash.
