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.

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

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.

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? Roll Eyes
