My grandson played his first football game yesterday. They won 26-14. I only got to watch the first half but I was really happy with it

Yesterday I had my husband pick a squash and after I was dumb- founded about what it was. A lady on BYC sent me some cushaw pumpkin seeds and I planted them. It's really cool to look at it because it's not orange and round. It's shaped more like a gourd and it's white with yellow stripes. It weighs a little over 17 pounds.

I didn't know until recently that pumpkins with EASILY cross pollinate with ALL other pumpkins and other squashes, so you have have developed a new hybrid, that is your very OWN.

You can call it the “Robert’s Rocket”?
Show us a picture of one and lots of folks will offer potential names!

I plugged in Cushaw Pumpkin and what came up was Cushaw Squash. And fit’s your description, more than likely you don’t have a new variety.

We’ve used any number of Squash as replacements for “pumpkin” and typically find the squashes to be better keepers!
Warted or Blue Hubbard was a staple for years when we lived in the Dakotas; due to their extreme longevity in storage.

I didn't even remember that I had asked for any of the seeds. I thought that I had planted a pack of ornamental gourd. I'm going to try to get it cooked into a pumpkin bread.

My phone won't let me post pictures for some ignorant reason.

I tried using my cushaw pumpkin for pumpkin bread but it's got to be an acquired taste because I didn't eat it. I tasted it and I will need a pumpkin to add to it.

Going to visit with my mom tomorrow. My husband's mom was hospitalized and needed to be picked up today so I will get to see my mom tomorrow. I have a picture of Peppa to share but I have to figure out why my phone won't let me post.
