Betty gave me the plant but has anyone got an idea what it is please?

Don't know what it is, but it's definitely not a Bonbon, which is what I thought I gave you!

Neither have I ;D But I like the way you have labelled the plant :) my labels are now all hidden by the plants themselves so it's a right pain when I want to figure out what is what!

We have to label everything so that we can see what is or has been planted in the space cos by the time next year comes we both will have forgotten what the hell was there.

Its getting bigger by the day so when its grown to its full size we will all have good idea as to what it is I think

my potimarron look like that with white stripes..before they go 'proper' orange ;D

I would agree about Potimarron actually at first glance XX Jeannine

shirlton · « **Reply #11 on:** August 08, 2010, 08:24:50 »

Would that make it a winter squash that will store Jeannine?

Jeannine · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2010, 09:23:19 »

wether it Potimorron or Onion they both store beautifully. Huw much does it weigh do you think XX Jeannine

shirlton · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2010, 10:13:58 »

I will pick it up tomorrow thats if it ain't got too bloomin big ;D

From my plot this year, Potiomarron, Muscade and Boston Winter all start out like that.....

shirlton · « **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2010, 19:19:11 »

Its got bigger and I can hardly pick it up. ;D ;D ;D

Jeannine · « **Reply #16 on:** August 09, 2010, 20:14:05 »

Not looking in my files, but I think off the top of my head Pottimarron gets to about 8 pounds.XX Jeannine

shirlton · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2010, 07:27:28 »

Nah its heavier than 2x 8lb babbies ;D

Jeannine · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2010, 07:30:31 »

Ok.back to the drawing board ;D ;D That stem does not look angular , it looks round ,if it is it makes it much easier..am I right? XX Jeannine
