Mystery squash

I thought that once my mystery squash started to produce, I could tell what kind it was. Initially I believed that this plant was a pumpkin, but now that the fruit of the plant is starting to grow, I'm baffled. This is about the size of a childs fist, light green and elongated. I didn't grow nor eat any of these last year however the seeds came from my compost pile and were volunteers. The plants themselves are quite large and leafy, some have dark green leaves with light green veins/markings and another one is just a medium green with no markings - they are all producing the same fruit though.

It's been a long time since my last post....

If it wasn't for Mother Nature, I'd have no garden to speak of. Out of the numerous volunteer plants that have popped up, only a few have been identified. We have a roma tomato under the office window, in the garden we have a pumpkin plant, a pear tomato and 2 tomatillo plants (which are going GANGBUSTERS!) and in the back bed we have at least 1 yellow crookneck squash. That leaves about 6 squash plants and 3-4 tomato plants still unidentified.

My cotton plants are doing well. One of them, again Gangbusters, has sprouted numerous blooms and I'm excited while I wait for them to actually flower.

Summer classes are winding down. I completed Public Speaking on Thursday and this Thursday I'll finalize Psych class. That gives me until the end of August to somewhat relax in preparation for Fall classes.
