    is this a pumkin or summit else

    righty ho folks

    this is my first post on forum so be gentle im by no means a seasons gardener i just like to potter around making the garden look pretty for the wife and planting some easy to grow veg for the kids toms,peas etc however we moved house last year so i had to start from scratch luckily the new house already had a small veg patch on the go so me and the kids planted our usual favorites and left it to its own devices however summit started to grow in middle of the patch and thats all its kept doing its sprouting vines like its going out of fashion and i have no idea what it is lol so i thought you wonderful lot would have a better idea than me i will add a few photos of the flowers and leaf's if that helps?

    thanks

    Hmm. I was going to say achocha, but the leaves are different. The flowers don't look like they're from the Cucurbitaceae family to me.

            If you're sticking around MrG (which would be delightful), put your location into your profile and it will appear at the top right hand corner. Then we'll not forget where you are

              Glad you worked out what it was, because I was thinkiing I'd have to find my glasses before I could give you my verdict. I know a pumpkin leaf, so I could have said yes or no about pumpkins. But not much else!
