And they have similar looks to yours. Might be worth doing a google images search :-\I dug out my Goldman this evening too... Bicolour Pear, listed as an ornamental.... not good news.....chrisc

Poor person, squash mad, person with tastebuds here ;Dwe had butternut squash/kestrel mash last night, can't eat mashed spud but with squash,it's brill ;Dp.s., one of our friends gave us some 'squash' that was bi coloured, tasted absolutely manky, quite spoiled the pork chops..they were gourds :)
What ever it is, I am sure you are not desperate enough for food to eat it otherwise you would not be asking. Squashes are poor people food, intended to fill up slaves and dirt farmers who NEEDED to be fed so that they could continue to be fed and would work for the master. They grow quick and are excellent as a teaching tool for children and new gardeners but they have little taste and take up a lot of room which experienced growers would rather devote to other things.Other than butternut squash which I like roasted with garlic butter and olive oil. I wont waste time and space with them.
I have been reading all the posts, and I am lost to say the least I did not know there were so many diffrent types. Well all I have grown is Jack o lantern pumpkins for my grandchildren for Halloween. [never grown them before] these have grown very well, and what I need to know is can someone tell me please. if I have to harvest them now the weather is turning colder, or do I leave them to turn orange first.Thank you I have enjoyed reading the posts ;D June.
