Clearing undergrowth
Today we cleared 3 of the 4 squash/pumpkin plants from behind the shed. I know there were 4 plants in there, I found 2 labels and I know the one left is a Howden pumpkin but it never set any fruit. It can come out another day. So, I pulled plants for a Howden pumpkin (another one) and a Spaghetti squash and something unlabelled.
Now, we grew Howden, Jack O’Lantern and Lumina pumpkins and I know where the Jack’s went. So the mystery plant was either a Howden or Lumina pumpkin.
However, we have a mystery fruit and the plants were so tangled that if it weren’t for having 3 root ends I’d be convinced they were 2 plants, if that makes sense.
Fruit on the right - the darker green one with the wider base, is definitely a Howden pumpkin - I traced the stem from the root and label, and it looks exactly like the one Mimi grew. But the fruit on the left? Not a clue. It’s clearly something else…. Answers in comments please…..
Mimi with her HUGE pumpkin for you.
