Need help identifying

18 years ago

I need help identyfing this plant. It came as a sprout with a tomato plant I bought at a farmers market. I know it is some type of pumkin or squash. The fruit seems to be full size as I have about 5 that are not getting any bigger than the one in the picture.

How cool! I can't say for sure but it looks like a melon - honeydew?

The pumpkin in the second picture leads me to thing that the pumpkin will be white when mature. It looks similar to 'cotton candy', but they are bigger than 3 inches. It could always just be some sort of interesting cross. Be sure to keep us posted as it develops, it looks very interesting.

Ther are a number of ornamental mini-pumpkins. It could be one of them, but you will probably have to wait awhile to narrow the field. definitely a squash, and the vine rules out the round zucchinis.
