Squash and Pumpkin ID please

[Paulines7]

Birds or other animals have been digging away around my squashes/pumpkins and the tags have been moved or disappeared altogether.  Can anyone identify any of the following please.  Not all my plants survived and many were too late going in so what I have on my list may not necessarily have survived and produced fruit. 

Here is a list of what I sowed:

butternut
Mountaineer Winter Squash
Jaspee de Vende
Bush Buttercup
Gold Acorn
Delicate Cornell
Sweet Meat
Onion Squash
Buttercup
Howden
Lil Pump-ke-mon
Sugar Pie

I assume I will be able to tell winter squash from summer ones by the hardness of their skins? 

I tried Googling them especially as number 11 had the tag Jaspee de Vendee, but the pictures on the web look nothing like my squashes!

I'm no use but Jeanninne's around!  ;D

Hi, what fun... well it is hard as some are just starting to show colour and I don't know the size but here goes.

7 is a buttercup
11 is the Cornell Delicata
9 on the right  is a regular Delicata
9 on the left looks more like a sugar loaf delicata
6 onion

12 looks more like a Jaune Gros de Paris  but the angle is throwing me.

3 looks like some sort of hubbard?

After that I can't be sure at first glance  and without sizes.

Jeannine, many thanks for your help.  I thought you would probably recognise them as some of the seeds came from you at Barnsdale.  Cambourne may know too as she gave me Jaspee de Vendee but the label was still on those when I picked them.  However, they appear very different.

There are only eleven squashes pictured as the one on its own at the top is repeated in the thumbnails.  I didn't put it in twice as far as I am aware, it just happened that way!

This being the case, would I be right in subtracting one from your replies eg.  it should read 6 is a buttercup. 10 is Cornell Delicata, 8 on right regular delicata and 8 on left sugar loaf delicata, 5 onion, 11 Jaune Gros de Paris and 2 a hubbard?

As an afterthought, that cannot be right because number 8 is on its own!  I have Googled Jaune Gros de Paris and it shows them as pinkish yellow and these are definitely a creamy white colour.

Yes, you have three variations of Delicata there,two together in one picture.. and the Cornells is seperate, but they are all creamy colour with green stripes, just a different shape. They will turn orange very late in the storage by the way but by that time they are drying out.

If the bottom one is yellow than I will change my mind.

it is so hard to guess when the cilours are immature.


Just for a point, don't give anyone the delicata ones, they are the best!!! All of them.

Have fun sorting and tasting XX Jeannine
