I have three formed fruit like your first picture manics - it is a red kuri. I also have two buttercup squash fruit growing nicely. All other varieities are well behind and have not even flowered yet. Lots of lush leaf growth though.

I've got a couple of Turks Head that have gone into major production.  Lots of small fruits on each plant.  Hope they are good to eat I look like having quite a few.   There is one quite large fruit on each Blue Hubbard.  Nothing showing yet on either Red Kuri or Uchi Kuri. 

Trompetta d'Albenga showing signs of fruit but they are not filling out yet.  That is a Cucurbita moschata lke Butternut.  Actually I would like to get a cross between them, the butternut squash on a cooler weather producer with major climbing tendencies would be something to aim for.
