    Mystery Squash - ID Please

    Pumpkins and Squash for one reason or another didnt go to plan this year, ground wasnt prepared in time, went in late and then when I did finally get some into the ground I mixed them up and I dont know which is which.

    Anyone got any ideas on the photo attached, from the ones I have grown I have listed my suspects as follows; Acorn, Potimarron, Celebration and Small Sugar.

    I know it's not Potimarron and having a look at google images, it seems it must be a small sugar.

    Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

        Thank you ginger ninger, mine look just like yours only smaller

        Cant wait for them to grow a bit so I can try your lovely risotto recipe, thank you for telling me about it and posting the details.

        I notice from your photos that you are growing yours inside a greenhouse, mine are outside this year, but I have a greenhouse courtesy of Freecycle to erect over this Winter so next year they might be inside like yours. It looks to me like you have trained them up the sides and over the roof, is this easy to do?

          Its not in the green house, it's dangling off the green house, at one point it tried to go through it, it's in a big bendy bucket at the side, the squash on the photo weighed in at just over 6lb & it was 29" round, it had to be cut off, I kept banging my head on it...OWCH
          With regard to training its not hard at all, just remember not to make it do anything it doesn't want to or you could break it.
