What is the large light green speckled squash?
I’m thinking you’re talking about Cushaw squash. Very sweet when roasted! These are more common in the south and Appalachia. My E Kentucky family loves Cushaw squash!
I need help identifying a squash / gourd that has grown in our yard . I thought I was planting butternut but my identifier says “ Field Pumpkin”. It looks nothing like a regular pumpkin - it’s skin is speckled cream flecs with green dark stripes . It’s oblong and growing very large . It’s skin is very thick . When I tried to eat smaller it had the effect of early persimmon in the mouth . What type of pumpkin is this ? Is it edible ?
I am trying to identify the cream-colored squashes on the left side of the photo, above the bright orange mini-pumpkins.
Some squashes vlounteered in my garden this year that look just like those, but I haven't been able to find out what kind they are!
Can a squash expert please help?
It’s hard to say but it’s quite possible these are “white pumpkins.” The Casper Pumpkin is a white skinned ornamental pumpkin with a thick orange flesh that is of excellent eating quality. There are many other varieties and they are really the same as orange pumpkins—just white in color!
