Hi guys,
My dad gave me a Pumpkin plant a few weeks ago which I’ve planted in one of the beds in my allotment. It’s now started setting fruit and now I’m not entirely convinced it’s a Pumpkin plant - it looks like more of a Courgette to me. When I had a chat to my neighbour at the allotment about it he said “Courgette all day long”.
I found out the other day the seeds he used were saved seeds from one of his mates at his allotment site when he grew Pumpkins last year. Not sure whether that could have had an impact if it was cross pollinated with something else. Alternatively, he’s also got form for not labelling so it’s entirely possible he’s got mixed up and given me a Courgette plant.
My dad and I have just been to my allotment to take a look, and he’s still adamant it’s a Pumpkin plant.
I’ve included some pictures I’ve taken this evening, would be grateful for your learned opinions.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
