It's 3 1/2 feet long, straight and thicker than my arm and a very pale green.
My plot neighbour Joe has grown it but doesn't know what variety it is so I said that someone here is bound to know...aren't you!

Just googled "White Squash" and it came up with white Lebanese summer squash or courgette. Don't know myself what it is.

I asked a similar question last year and it seems to be quite complicated to identify squashes - size shape and colour aren't enough apparently. Jeannine's the expert - from memory she asked about leaf size and shape, hairy or not, vine or bush and size, how many sides the stem has.............

I'm growing something that looks a little bit similar but I think the shape is wrong - mine is a White Cushaw squash.

Shirl whatever it is I reckon that it will get plenty of attention at our show on Saturday!

Ceres all a bit mindboggling by the sound of it!

I was going to suggest Lungho Bianco (courgette/squash) but the leaves look too small.

Not to sure what these veggies are but I thought this link may help.

But then again with all the knowledge on here, you lot may see different.

I would say it's an aubergine...... (egg plant)
Do you just have the one or are there more on the way..... qahtan

Flighty · « **Reply #7 on:** September 03, 2009, 15:57:57 »

Qahtan surely it's way too big and long for an aubergine! There's just the one on the plant.

saddad · « **Reply #8 on:** September 03, 2009, 15:59:08 »

The leaves are wrong too... :-X

Qahtan I looked there earlier. I agree that the leaves are very similar but I think that it's a squash, possibly a curious light green variety Nice Long which turns pink on maturity.

saddad · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2009, 17:17:39 »

I sit corrected... ;D

qahtan · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2009, 17:32:45 »

If it is a squash , what a summer squash????, what you gonna do with it.???

Bet you sixpence though it's an aubergine. lets see what you find out on saturday......

Where the **** am I going to find sixpence if I am wrong. ;-)))) qahtan

saddad · « **Reply #16 on:** September 03, 2009, 17:42:24 »

Silver or base metal? :-\

Flighty · « **Reply #17 on:** September 03, 2009, 18:03:03 »

Qahtan Joe has said that after the show he'll cut it up and give a piece to anyone who wants one.

grawrc · « **Reply #18 on:** September 03, 2009, 18:12:00 »

Are you sure it isn't one of those blind, predatory white slugs that appeared in Wales last year grown large and bloated from feasting on its peers? ::)

Flighty · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2009, 18:21:12 »

Grawc if it is it's not ticklish as we measured it this morning and it never stirred! 8)
