Hey guys...
Could I get some help identifying a mystery plant that was growing in my garden this year? Not sure how the heck it got there. It was supposed to be a pumpkin, but it turned into this HUGE squash/zucchuini/gourd looking thing that completely took over our cucumbers and summer squash. I had to pull it, as it was just overtaking everything.
One, what is it? And two, is it edible?
Thanks in advance.
Blair

A possible cross between two simular plants from last year, had a simular thing happen several years ago, but the squash bugs took care of it for me, LOL! Pumpkin and squash cross maybe.

Good one!
Thanks for the replies gents...all possibilities I guess? Never even considered a hybrid. It does look something like the squash in Don's link.
Well, I removed 2 plants you can see on the side of the lawn there. I left one in that wasn't hurting anything.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Need Some Help With Garden Vegetable ID?
I actually planted some of those. It's a type of gourd, but it didn't take over my garden. I told my kids that they were Dinosaur eggs.
I planted them from a pack of gourd mix seeds.
